Might help also to describe what you think feminism is, since it's one of those terms that is overloaded.

I once had a physical therapist tell me she wasn't a feminist because she thought women couldn't be as physically capable as men when serving as soldiers, and seemed to believe feminism requires treating women exactly like men.

I told her I was a feminist because I believe in equal rights for men and women, an idea she did not seem so opposed to.

Ok, if don’t use the word, do you think I am supporting him?

    I certainly have questions when you're loath to use it for literal- fucking-hitler.

    I don’t loath using it. I am curious about your reaction to labels. I criticised Hitler but it was not enough for you. Same thing with feminism.

    You didnt criticize him at all, you said you didnt like 'what he did with concentration camps'.

    You have stronger criticism for feminists, and that says quite a bit about your politics.

    I also said he is not getting any peace or humanitarian prize. I also said he killed Jews (killing is bad imo).

    I find your assumption about my views based on use (or lack of) of a single word fascinating. This is very similar to how feminism is promoted and men are grilled for words while actions are ignored.

    A euphemism and an understatement of fact is pretty illuminating on your views of the world's most famous mass murderer.

    Ok, I quit. Let your mind make assumptions. I might be a Nazi, I might kill kittens in my free time, I might steal from beggars, let your imagination run wild.
