ENThe object of the article is feminist linguistic activism that is a manifestation of political correctness in contemporary Lithuanian language. Using the analytical-descriptive method, the authors of the article have set the aim to discuss the specific manifestations of feminist linguistic activism as well as to show how these manifestations are assessed by cultural society. Linguistic activism in the article is treated as a conscious activity, which aims at certain variations of conventional language, the form and semantics of its units. The chosen object has been analyzed in two main aspects: 1) the scope of linguistic feminism: language layers, units; 2) society's approach to the feminist rearrangement of language. The following conclusions have been drawn: the aim of feminist linguistic activism is not to investigate the language, its resources, not to substantiate scientifically their linguistic experiments and arguments, but using the ideology of language corrections, in all possible ways to draw attention and develop the supposed significance of their own activity.
