    I can’t dechiper the latter half but it seems like they’re trying to say “feminist” started as a “slur” that was used against men and women who wanted women to be able to vote. Feminists “claimed” the slur so to speak and broadened its meaning to encapsulate more issues?

    But again I’m just guessing. English isn’t their first language. Maybe let’s not expect people to have perfect English on fucking Lemmy? lmao

        Sure, but you could have maybe tried to interpret it a little bit and ask them what they mean? Instead you opted to make public spectacle of something that a lot of non-native speakers are self-conscious of.

        Or you could just have not engaged. But again. You opted to make fun of someone because either you were being thoughtless/careless, or because you’re an asshole. Not a huge deal, but deserves being commented on.
