It's sad cause there's some really good labels like Vegan and Feminism that just get tarnished and wrecked by people like this who just slam it into other people's faces.
We don’t like dealing with labels. It’s still hard enough for people to distinguish between a vegetarian and a vegan let alone a Pescatarian etc. Accepting “homosexual” as an option was a big push let alone getting people to differentiate it from being a child molester- but bi sexuality is still a myth to some people, good luck if you’re demi, pan, or any other type of sexual people don’t want to remember or know about. If you’re left just too far but don’t believe in communism convince people you aren’t a communist or socialist. I’ll wait.
We can’t tell you what a “man” is or a “woman” but lord help you if you hint there may be another gender- and despite there being at least 5 medical categories of sex in humans for at least 100 years- most people still only recognize 2 sexes. So it would just be too darn much work for most folks to differentiate between radicals and variations of spectrum or doctrine or methodology etc. in feminists and vegans. It’s “too hard” to have any sort of useful classification system so we go to the ‘ol simple fall back that throws a wide range of perhaps vaguely similar in some way humans into a sparse handful of broad categories so that one is the same as another. Imprecise and ineffective- but at least it doesn’t require thinking- and using the brain is our sworn enemy.
