And with debate, you mean virtually caving his head in with a dictionary? There's not much to debate, dictionary + the large majority agreeing with the dictionary = you can try to redefine the meaning all day, you're still wrong.
If the large majority thinks that misogyny is actively hating women, if you then declare in your little corner that "misogynist = someone not 100% compatible with our particular brand of feminism", you're either a idiot or a dishonest cunt if you then wade out into the big majority and throw accusations of misogyny around you.
You might as well also declare that a "white supremacist" is actually someone who might be part of structural racism without even knowing it, or holding any racist views.
Oh wait...
(Yes, I knew this before I even brought up Hutchins' accusation against the four horsemen on that CFI post, and was prepared to retort if someone pointed this out. The fact that I didn't have to is more than enough in itself to disqualify any objections.)
I don't even understand why any of the FTBers would want to officially declare their definition of misogyny though, their whole narrative and use of the word hinges upon everyone else thinking it actually mean someone who actively hate or strongly dislike/distrust women. The whole "the pit is a misogynistic hellhole" narrative just doesn't really work when they then stand up and explain that "and with misogynistic we mean not kinda maybe harmful to women, though they might not think they are really harmful, basically they disagree with our feminism".
ps. Also, since the last xmas song I posted was so crappy, and the xmas celebrations are done here, so I'm finally in some Christmas mood, have some real Christmas music:

Only real xmas song I can stand, that get me into "xmas mode" (fuck the jolly stuff). I don't give a shit that it's religious, the last part when Jussi is killing it still gives me shivers.
p.ps.

If you haven't watched that episode, do it, it's one of the best, if not the best, South Park episodes that they ever made.
