    The problem is they were too successful at it and all too many have that as their definition of feminism. That’s all they know.

    I do think a different term might be called for, because that one is lost to many

      Someone else will just tarnish any new term. Our best bet is to just educate people what it actually means.

      Like how “communist” and “socialism” has been made into a dirty word. And let’s not forget the most recent one, “Antifa”.

      We just have to fight against it. And do our best to correct the misperceptions when we can.
