I shouldn't have to convince people to fight for their own rights and rights for their fellow humans.

You're not defining the words, you're addressing the belief systems of certain individuals and groups who use them. There is a difference. You should voice your problem with those groups and individuals who do bad things and hold bad ideals, not the English language. Whether I say
"White Power," "Black Power" or
"Asian Power," I intend for them to all mean the exact same thing, just with the race interchanged.

Yeah, he doubles down and makes every argument a war of attrition.

I'm not for pretending it doesn't happen because people are too simple minded to handle that you can fight for liberating women from the systematic oppression and culture of misogyny that has plagued us through out human history AND ending the few problems men have to deal with.
