Nope. Sorry, sanity lost that argument.

Call me stubborn.

For good or ill, the word 'feminism' is now understood to mean something almost entirely different from what it was originally meant to be.

Like legal rights, useful words do not defend themselves. 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.

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