  • WORD: gynotician

    DEFINITION: ' Gynotician. n : A politician who feels more qualified than women and their doctors to make women's health care decisions. ' -- A neologism coined in 2013 by PlannedParenthoodAction.org, as part of that organization's campaign against patronizing, paternalizing politicians who feel THAT SINCE women are INCAPABLE of making their own healthcare decisions, THE government MUST take over what the SILLY girls shouldn't be worrying their pretty little heads about. This 2013 neologism is a portmanteau word which tuna-melds "gyno-" with "politician".
