I knew we're way off topic now but... At best it's kind of ironic though isn't it? Many feminists seem to agree language and word choice are pretty important.
Then maybe it is a little ironic. But it doesn't really detract from my point. A philosophy/ideology/pressure group should gain popularity through the strength of its substance, not through snappy labels with "fortunate implications".
Is the paternity system feminist?

Do they? I can't say I've noticed. Are you talking about being PC? I don't see the irony. Sorry :P

PC doesn't mean anything. I mean in terms of how language influences how you think, "unfortunate implications" and that kind of thing.
