Er, why not? Are reasonable behaviors a scarce commodity?
If the argument is that
1) Feminism is a tradition of empathy and humanism
2) the application of OP's feminist ethos led OP to prioritize the needs of users in a particular way
then isn't this particular manner of operating, by OP's definition, feminist?
You can argue that Feminism is indistinguishable from other sorts of ethos, but it'd be hard to argue that it's not an ethos at all.
- lotsofmangos 12y agoOk, you can, but I just like well defined terms as it makes it easier to know what you are discussing. Feminism is very broad already, a good example being the conflict between those who advocate for equality in political representation and those who advocate for working towards a utopian matriarchy. I just think it is confusing and weakens the argument being made by overstating it, to make the definition broader still.
