Your link says: "Main Entry: fem·i·nism Pronunciation: 'fe-m&-"ni-z&m Function: noun 1 : the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes 2 : organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests"
Please explain where this suggest activity based on role reversal? It is plainly and unambiguously NOT there

Nope look below again, you cannot possibly have a word with two conflicting meanings You can, due to the phenomenon of verbicide sometimes as well.
The basic point is to decide which definition we are talking about so that everyone can understand each other. Otherwise we may be agreeing violently, or agreeing disingenuously.
music is math -- good nick. My dad told me that music is math when I was a kid and it makes a lot of difference in sightreading.
