"both points 1 and 2 are two separate definitions of the word... that's why they have "1" and "2" before them, so readers know that there are these TWO SEPARATE definitions of the word "feminism"." Nope look below again, you cannot possibly have a word with two conflicting meanings sorry but you are plainly and unambiguously wrong on this matter

"fem·i·nism (fm-nzm) KEY NOUN: Belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes. The movement organized around this belief. ",/i>

Perhaps you would like to discuss that with the lexicographers at merriam-webster; they seem rather certain of it.

"fem·i·nism (fm-nzm). A butch female who spends half her life insulting men, and the other half trying to look like one and achieve success like one.

Considering every Fortune 500 company was started by a man, and every major invention furthering civilization in the last 200 years is man-made, it's not like men are worried about the new linebacker looking competition.
