Can’t agree on how to define:

Racist
Sexist
Male
Female
Sexual Assault
Harassment

And the list goes on. Feel free to add to the list.

“is”

In seriousness, and as an example, the primary definition of “racism” in every dictionary with which I am familiar defines the term “racsim” to include the element that the person in question believes in the inherent superiority of one race versus another ... yet loudmouths on both dies CONTINUE to use the term in a manner that connotes mere racial discrimination, without the “superiority” element.

It is essentially impossible to discuss complex issues when one participant insists upon using an erroneous definition.

It's all part of the plan - progressives take advantage of the dynamic aspect of language. To them, objective reality does not exist nor objective moral values.

They have taken the Oxford comma and the double space after a period too.
