activity on behalf of women rights does not imply or mean extreme

the definition makes no claims as to the extremism or not of womens' rights activities.

"the definition makes no claims as to the extremism or not of womens' rights activities."

Precisely so why are YOU introducing it?

That's what I mean by verbicide. The definition of feminism has become something totally else in its application... the application is affecting the definition in everyone's mind regardless of what the dictionary says.

Recently we were accused of having an authority problem when we asked for definitions in a church meeting, so that we would be able to tell if we were talking about the same thing. It's amazing how people don't see the value in having common definitions. You see in every legal contract definitions set out from the beginning. There's a reason for that.
