Let's get real.
The dictionary definition for Republican is: "favoring
a conservative stance, limited central government, strong national
defense."
The dictionary definition for Democrat is: "follows a
liberal program, tends to promote a strong central government and expansive
social programs."
Both are pretty accurate and in line with current accepted
definitions.
Political definitions such as these change over time, (for
example today's Republican has no
resemblance to the Republicans of Abe Lincoln's day) and reference books of the
day should accurately reflect the currently held values, opinions, and actions
of that political group.
So why is this the definition of feminism in the Oxford dictionary?
"the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of
political, social, and economic equality to men."
In my opinion, and the opinions of many others, the
dictionary definition of feminism doesn't reflect the values, opinions and
goals of modern feminism. So, rather than try to get feminists to adhere to the
"equality" definition of feminism (good luck with that), I propose
that the dictionary definition of feminism accurately reflect the state of
current feminism.
Proposed New and Accurate Oxford
Dictionary Definition of Feminism:
"– a worldwide ideology committed to creating and
maintaining the notion of patriarchy and rape culture, exploring and expanding
new areas of female victim-hood and using said victim-hood to justify
gynocentrism and the eternal existence of this ideology, opposing Men's Human
Rights Activists and father’s rights groups at all costs, maintaining all
special rights and privileges for females while rejecting and labeling any
accompanying responsibility as misogynistic, and any right or privilege not
retained by women and girls proves the patriarchy’s “War on Women” is real."
Notice the absence of the word "equality" and any comparison to men as in the inaccurate current definition. They know equal rights with men would actually give them less privilege and more responsibility.
This is important to allow feminists worldwide to be able to
point to the dictionary when they do something to hurt men and say "see,
it's right there in the dictionary under feminism, special privileges" and
be entirely accurate.
Seriously, the dictionary should
accurately reflect the current state of feminism in its definition, as other
political groups are.
Feminism needs to go away, women are very confused about their goals with Feminism...
