Strawfeminist is a neologism patterned on the straw man fallacy, but as applied to feminism in particular.

It's a way to discredit feminism without actually engaging with it at all.

Examples

Strawfeminists

hate men
say all men are rapists
demand castration of men
force other women to their ways
are unreasonable and always angry towards men
say all women are flawless
demand female superiority, instead of equality
