Summary/Abstract: The main goal of the paper is to present the usage of the words “feminism” and “feminist” (male and female) in the conservative and feministic discourse based on the analysis of data from texts produced by these different social groups. Selected texts from the National Corpus of Polish, articles from the website Fronda.pl and Prawy.pl, samples of bishops’ letters to the congregation, comments and statements from feminist press and feminist blogs were qualified for the research. The author tries to answer the question: To what purpose and with what intention do language users from opposite environments use the terms “feminism” and „feminist”?
