Ooops. I said this twice, and I was confused both times... Not about Nietzsche's use of the term (he had as much contempt for feminists as he did for socialists and democrats), but about the German word for 'feminism'. I was thinking of the French term (fe/minisme). I don't even know what the German term is. Anybody know?
