If there is political debate about the nature of thing, quoting a dictionary definition is simply a method of forestalling debate. During the soviet era, capitalism was defined as a mental illness. Does this mean that capitalism is mental illness? Likewise, one could anticipate that during nazi rule in germany, the definition of "nazi" there might have been something like "glorious defender of the third reich". What Merriam-webster declares to be so is simply an indication of who controls Merriam-webster.
so you are attempting to point out to asmo that the quote he used isn't relevant?....and too do that you used examples of 1940s Nazis and Soviet era Russia to compare with todays universally accepted meaning of feminism?.....jesus Christ newbo........that is one far walk
And who is that? Merriam-Webster is simply a standard compilation of standard American English usage. It's definitions sometimes leave much to be desired, but it's ludicrous to put it in the same category with totalitarian propaganda screeds.
Its funny, but Newbies example of capitalism being defined as a mental illness compares much better with 6-eyed's attempts to redefine feminism. I don't think neither Newbie or 6-eyed disagrees that egalitarianism includes the general feministic principles of equality and striving to get it implemented in society.
We dont want equality. Men and women are different. They are not the same. Women already have all the rights men have. Go home feminists, you won. And get back in the kitchen and make your man something hot to eat.
Fishy fishy in the brook Come and bite my gahdamn hook Momma cook you i the pan Daddy eat you like a man
Trudeau has waged war on Canadians. Went to India and his interests are clearly with Sikh separatist assassins whom he had dinner with, arranged by his Sikh defense minister (not Canadian born) he appointed, who is not qualifieD for such a position. Dressed as a Sikh groom while there. Adding taxes to small businesses and farmers. Highest per person government spending in our history. Made a mockery of Canada while in India and China. Added a new carbon tax like we are not taxed enough? Added a new tax on families by scraping child care benefits. Is trying to tax health and dental benefits as well as taxing employee discounts. Cutting benefits to injured canadian armed forces and says veterans are greedy and ask for too much! Taking veterans to court, cutting their benefits by 40 percent, while rewarding known Muslim terrorists 10 million dollars each. Yet he promised not take veterans to court when he ran in 2015. Trudeau broken ethics laws within Canada in that he personally benefitted from. The liberal party has blocked Trudeau from appearing before the ethics committee. Trudeau and the liberal party are not accountable, while Canadians are forced to pay more. Not to mention he travelled to Aga Khan’s (Muslim spiritual leaders) private island at Christmas, took his private helicopter to get him there with his family. Aga Khan is the founder and chair of the board of directors of the Aga Khan Development Network, the Aga Khan Foundation Canada and the Global Centre for Pluralism. Since 1981, the federal government has contributed almost $330 million to projects supported by his foundation. Yet Trudeau said he didn’t talk politics and claims they are friends. After the trip I believe 33 million was given to his foundation from the liberal government. Yeah our veterans are greedy as Trudeau says.
I love it when men bring up things like Nazism at the mention of feminism. The fact that you can relate the two means feminism can relax. Men will be destroying themselves. They see a connection between Gloria Steinem and Adolph Hitler. That's hilariously silly
Ummm wasn’t it Gloria Steinem, not men who brought Hitler into the feminism debate? Yes I think so. She wrote a book on it and made Hitler an issue. Yes she is like a nazi feminist looking to wipe out the human race in her own way. I love it when feminists talk of men destroying themselves with glee. Says a lot about feminism, and not in a good way.
People aren't individuals, duh. They are only pieces of the groups with which they identify. Didn't you know this? All feminists are the same. All Republicans are the same. All liberals are the same. All gays are the same. All taco-eating car salesmen are the same.
