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.
