There’s just a lot of words that have entirely lost meaning and are mere verbal tics used to identify a tribe. “Leftist.” “Feminist.” “Woke.” “Liberal” (in the American sense of the term). But also: “Fascist.” “Nazi.” Even “racist” often.
While sometimes these are still used in ways that have their actual meaning, mostly they’re just a way of saying “I don’t like you and I identify as <X> tribe”.
Might I suggest volunteering for a while at a women’s shelter? That hardened my stance on tolerating male fee-fees quite a bit.
