Many feminists would not agree with you.

I prefer talking about equality when talking about equality.

Just because one claims that their own views align with feminism, doesn’t mean that it is, by definition- feminism. By this, I aim to mean that there will always be bad apples in any group of people.

So how about maybe not judging the whole of a thing on those that claim to align with it- yet show no similarities to it.

Maybe if the people who are pro-equality shouldn’t grasp onto their gendered term so hard. Kinda weird that out of one side of their mouths so many people will say it’s about equality for all but insist we must use the feminine term over the genderless one we already have

Don’t want to be judged on gender lines? Don’t use gendered terms to describe yourself, simple

Again, you’re judging the entirety of a thing based on a portion of a thing. This is the same thing as when people call all vegans “obnoxious” when it’s just a portion of them that act this way.

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).

Feminism has a static definition. And because of this fact- I disagree wholeheartedly with the entirety of your response.

This is not gymnastics. This is empirical truth. And I’m not getting locked up in attempts to define any whatabout attempts to derail the topic.

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.

I am not going to get distracted arguing about things like the semantics of definitions. The purpose of anyone doing this is almost always to disrupt the discussion and derail the topic.

Feminism is what it is defined as, which is a socio-political movement and a set of ideas that advocate for equal rights and freedoms for all genders.

Your attempt to whatabout using incels as an example to compare the evolution of a word to prove that feminism has a different meaning is just bad faith nonsense. It’s a false equivalency, and it didn’t work.

Really? Who? Give me some names and citations.

Read the rest of the comments, there’s a few good examples.

So, people who aren’t notable feminists and who could be trolls or bots? Gee, thanks, those sound like great sources.

Why are you even here then?
