I am not going to get distracted arguing about things like the semantics of definitions. The purpose 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.

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.

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.

It is absolutely NOT tolerated here. Regardless of where else it is. And calling people “dipshits” because they disagree with your perspective that ableist slurs should be allowed because an ignorant old man uses them….

Yeah… This is not the hill you want to die on.

Using ableist slurs is not being overly sensitive. It’s using a condition many people are born with as an insult so someone. It’s essentially putting them down as less-than.

This isn’t going to be tolerated no matter how you spin it. There’s thousands of other words one could use in its place, Be creative.

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.

Just because he’s your “modern day folk hero” doesn’t make him or his actions immune to scrutiny. This way of thinking opens doors that people like you tend to stand firmly against.

No one should ever stand above our laws, our standards of morality, or our ethical codes of conduct without question. And propping someone up to such a height makes you every bit as bad as those you accuse of doing so.

My horse in Red Dead Redemption 2. I captured and tamed it from wild the moment I was able.

R.I.P Coffee!

Arrested Development aired from 2003 through 2008. The average price of bananas during that time was around $0.62/lb. The average price currently is still $0.62/lb.

So…. No. Not “good old days.” Is more like same old days- if all we are using is a banana for scale.

There’s clearly more to this story. The simple fact that his username is “Conservative” indicates that he is one of those people that make their political ideology a major part of their identity.

This man is probably an insufferable ass.
