We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

I cannot express how much I admire and respect this man. I supported him for president back in 2019 and will support him for ANY elected office in the future. He’s the real deal 💙💙
This seems entirely besides the point. You claim the goal of your book is to persuade people like your daughter. Ok, maybe you think your definition more accurately reflects usage or whatever. How does that help you convince anyone?
Words are complicated. The issue with the word feminism is that its connected with the movement that challenged some pretty awful laws/norms in the past. That makes people particularly adverse to saying they disapprove of it since it feels/sounds too much like saying they disapprove of the changes that have happened that have resulted in greater gender equality.
Ultimately, I agree with many of your factual claims but you couch them in a way that virtually guarantees you don't persuade anyone. Sure, maybe those people are being irrational but if your goal is to persuade them why not phrase things differently so you have a better chance os success?
I agree that the goal should be persuading, but how do you persuade feminists if you have to accept their self-serving definition of feminism that you yourself do not disagree with?
I mean they might be 'wrong' about the definition of feminism in the sense that they use the word in a way other people don't but definitions alone don't justify any conclusions or prevent communication.
In this case just take their definition at face value (at least hypothetically) and say -- ok if feminism means believing in the equality of the sexes then feminism then what feminism requires now is more concern about the welfare of boys/men, less affirmative action or whatever. If you convince…
