It has unfortunately taken on the meaning (this is a general statement, not always true) that women are/should be better than men. Not the word's original intention, but now a nuance that it carries. I think that's why people want to be distant from the word. It no longer means equality, it means a total reversal of the hierarchy.Brendan Cheneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15076739261768770608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3548956654108561590.post-38153200559353507152011-02-05T14:45:50.051-08:002011-02-05T14:45:50.051-08:00Amen.
