        Many feminists would not agree with you.

        I prefer talking about equality when talking about equality.

            I won’t get into the rest of the stuff in this thread, but I’ll disagree with your first point.

            Feminism is a word. An English word. And that means it’s definition is driven by common usage not a book. If the common usage shifts to a toxic place, the meaning shifts with it.

            If you disagree I’d love to hear your gymnastics around the word invcel, it’s evolution into incel, and then that further extension to femcel (even though the person who coined invcel was a woman).

                There is no such thing as a static definition. You’re gonna have a real bad time in life communicating with people if you try to make that be your thing.

                However since my whole message was about flexibility of definitions and you called my example whataboutism…I’m thinking you already have challenges communicating with people.

      Thou I’d love to hear your thoughts on veganism. Suffice it to say you’re wrong this time champ.
