With the polarizing nature of social media algorithms, it would be advantageous to circumvent the knee-jerk negativity the term engenders. It’s not placating anyone to recognize a win-win premise is far more beneficial to achieve real progress. We are fighting a losing war of online rage that seeks easy targets and if a particular term has been co-opted, then we need to be strategic. Actual women and girls are being hurt by regressive policies instituted via conservatives forces that created this Supreme Court. We need allies and collaboration; I will not die on that hill of terminology.
