bra burner

(derogatory, slang) stridently feminist.

Bra-burning is a loaded term used to describe strident or radical feminism — typically by those who want to mock or minimise it. The phrase references a popular myth from the 1968 protest at the Miss America pageant, where feminist demonstrators were said to have burned bras, though in reality no bras were actually set alight. Despite being historically inaccurate, the image stuck, and bra-burning became a dismissive shorthand for feminist activism, deployed by critics to make political engagement sound trivial or hysterical.

(slang, vulgar, derogatory) An intolerant feminist, often used by anti-feminists to refer to a feminist in general.

(slang, derogatory, ethnic slur) A nonblack person, usually a woman, who has sexual relationships with black people, usually men.

Someone or something that physically burns or causes something else to burn.
