Well, you know he has point there. How many times have we heard the term 'feminazi? FROM THE LEFT? How many times has feminism been stigmatized, marginialized and trivialized? Oh, and all that kittycat in-fighting we're apparently doing, I've read a number of articles on THAT; all the feminist shaming and nary a mention of the accomplishments. Well you know what? Fuck that and FUCK this asshole.
What we let THIS asswipe call the misogynists shots? Apparently so. Yea the left!
(Note; personally, listening to Limbaugh makes my ears bleed, but I'll link to the mediamatters site with the short clip of him diddling around with unreferenced statistics and claiming credit for 'stigmatizing' feminism. He also quotes the New York Times, I think it is, saying "Feminism is Dead", ----so no real need to listen if you don't want, I took one for the team here. Boy is he in for a surprise anyway.)

(41,977 posts)Lots of people use "feminazi "though, I've seen it here, I've heard it out in the community, I've seen it repeatedly in readers comments on articles. I've heard it for too often from people who should know better.
The idea of any term he started gaining popular acceptance makes my skin crawl.

(135,425 posts)It's hard to calculate StopRush's effect on Limbaugh's revenue. His parent company Premiere Radio Networks is private and not required to disclose financial information. However, Clear Channel Media Holdings (which owns Premiere) just reported losses of $424 million for 2012. Radio company Dial Global's stock is down 88% over the past year and the company has publicly acknowledged that the movement against Limbaugh has contributed to its financial woes. Cumulus Media CEO Lew Dickey has also admitted that the backlash has been a "drag" on his business.
StopRush has clearly changed the face of talk radio and is making Limbaugh's hatred much more expensive than it was before the attack on Sandra Fluke.
He still coined the word. It's still in popular usage, although it does make the sound of total dumbassness.
I hope he goes away, I used to keep a list of his sponsors so I knew what not to buy, what restaurants not to eat at, ect. I should take another look.

And as for criticism of feminism, I do tire of it, but if its from women, and it's constructive criticism, then I'm ok with it.
