And that is why nobody takes feminists seriously.

[(Anonymous)]

There's a difference between a feminist and a Person Who Believes Everything Ivory Tower Academics Say. Unfortunately, a lot of PWBEITAS' identify as feminists, so.

But, yeah.

So, sociology decided to redefine all the -isms as being expressions of systematic/institutional oppression, which is great when it comes to research into these phenomena. It's not great, however, when it comes to relating with the general public. You can't just make up a new definition for a word in a purely academic setting and expect everyone else in the world to adopt said definition. What's more, you don't have much of a leg to stand on when it comes to getting mad at everyone else for not readily understanding/adopting your redefinition of a word that is elsewhere defined differently.

Or, shorter version: using the sociological definitions of -isms outside of sociological circles doesn't actually do shit or help anyone. It just confuses people and puts them on the defensive.
