I'm using equivocation in the fallacy sense: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivocation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivocation
In most of my uses, the popular sense also applies, "the use of ambiguous language to conceal the truth or to avoid committing oneself; prevarication."
If you read the briefs put out by the WG against Tim and others, they are engaged in equivocation which has the effect of equating, say, mentioning the difficulties experienced in a sexist work organisations with advocacy of sexism (the converse position).
