The Internet terms “Fist feminism”, “Fist master” and “Fisting” are used to refer to the “wild and reckless attacks” of tianyuan nüquan. Some of the more common descriptions of the radical characteristics of tianyuan nüquan include: 1) extreme hatred of men and patriarchy, advocating the transfer of women’s oppression to men; 2) the desire to enjoy rights without obligations and the belief that women are naturally more morally superior; 3) standing against traditional gender symbols and the denial of family-oriented women; as well as 4) drastic attitudes and violent rhetoric.[1]  However, it is important to note that the term Fist feminism is based on the stigmatization of tianyuan nüquan. The expanded connotation can also refer to all acts of fighting for equal rights for women.

「女拳」、「拳師」及「打拳」等網絡用語,表面意指「胡攪蠻纏、胡亂出擊」的「田園女權」。比較常見對「田園女權的過激特質」的描述有如下幾方面:一、極端仇恨男性男權,並主張將女性受到的壓迫轉移到男性身上;二、只想享受權利而不想承擔任務,並認為女性佔據天然的道德高地;三、反對傳統特質的性別符號,和否定家庭型女性;以及四、態度極端,言辭暴戾。[2] 但需要注意的是,「女拳」是在「田園女權」被污名化的基礎上而來的;在其能指擴大後,「女拳」也可以指代所有為女性爭取平等權利的行為。
