I don’t know if it is what you have heard, but I have seen a lot of feminists reapropiating slurs like “b1tch”, “wh0re” and so on and calling themselves like that in a positive manner, which if you would heard them without context, you might not tell. I think this is a far better tactic than trying to ban a word, since it is essentially what has been happening with words like “gay” and “queer”, only this happened long ago and people now have internalized that they never were insults.
Yeah I know, I did not explicit it but you always need consent in that regard, although it is super uncommon with words like “gay” or “queer” nowadays.
It’s very difficult to stay healthy if you’re forced to work most of the day and can only afford cheap, extremely unhealthy food. I don’t think natural selection is a good thing for humanity at this point, since our intelligence is by far our most important feature (Einstein wasn’t exactly buff)
Sure; I’m not saying that we shouldn’t try to stay healthy, only that we probably shouldn’t harshly judge someone just for having an unhealthy diet or lacking motivation to exercise consistently, particularly in a capitalist society

As one person put it, “I’ll take ‘women reinforcing the patriarchy’ for 500, Alex.”

I’m pretty sure the two phenomena, the one you describe and the one @straightpeach@lemmy.ml describes, both exist independently.
Of course, but they can be confused.
