Ammunition

[Banana Cannon]

I'm sorry I angered you. I don't claim to have invented anything. I was, however, answering a question that someone put forth, without making any commentary on the apparent stupidity of the term and the people who use it without irony.

You did not angered me.
I was angered by stupidity of term "meninist".

There are people who seriously use word "meninist"?

My mistake. I should have figured you were just raging at the stupidity of the term.

To answer your question, yes, there are people who use it seriously. I was almost certain I was falling victim to Poe's law at first, but Googling around for the term has proven otherwise.

I was under the distinct impression that it was baiting satire to outline the utter madness an ideology based around a gender really is. Then again, language should be a funny matter, or an implicit one. Just look at Japanese. They can pull off both, depending on how you phrase it & say it.

Note, for example, the difference between the choosing of terminology & how they express a different social fabric with each one. Woman's Rights Activism, vs. Feminism. A carefully phrased but important difference, the former giving the impression that it is discussed & deliberated in informed debate, & the latter being more public access to get the crowds going. Note as well the distinction that one speaks to an audience & a crowd differently, as they are both different entities.
Granted, no matter which way you phrase or understand a term, it doesn't negate the likelihood that it attracts idiots towards it. Idiots have a habit of drifting, I realise, from one group to the next.

my captcha is "if it fits." Now that has several connotations, doesn't it?

Saved so I can use it as ammunition.
