'''Feminist Re-definition''' aims to advance [[feminist]] thinking by creating neologisms and re-defining words to introduce gender-neutrality to language.
An infamous example of feminist re-definition is the word "womyn", which is seen by many feminists as a preferable alternative spelling to "[[women]]" as it avoids the use of the letters that spell out the word "[[men]]". Feminists attest that using the word "womyn" avoids connotations of a [[Patriarch|patriarchal]] society.
