The word feminist is causing a stir again.
Conservative radio personality Doc Thompson sent out a message on May 3, tweeting "Any tips on #HowToSpotAFeminist???"
People responded to The Morning Blaze host's call to action with sarcastic, anti-feminist phrases like "follow the shrieking" and "she's hunched over due to that HUGE chip on her shoulder."
The hashtag, which has been mentioned 67,084 times according to social media analytics site Topsy, started to gain momentum on Twitter on May 4.
Folks who support feminist causes got in on the action, turning it into a conversation about equality.
