"The term properly means...."
Nope. Sorry, sanity lost that argument. Just like "liberal" here in the US no longer means what your dictionary says it means, and what most of the rest of the English speaking world still thinks it means.
For good or ill, the word 'feminism' is now understood to mean something almost entirely different from what it was originally meant to be.

I'm even a stickler for 'imply' differing from 'infer' and 'enormity' meaning 'great wickedness', which will show you what a no-hoper spokesman for sanity and literacy I remain. Best Regards,

You are stubborn, Rick.

But you are not alone; I too am on a mission to civilize.
