Words are the basis for all communication if you cannot communicate clearly what you want from me don’t talk to me.
I think people who don’t care about the definition of words to a group are lazy, selfish, and ussually trying to manipulate me by slapping me around with double speak.
It's not about not caring about the definition of words. It's about not doing that at the expense of caring about meaning.
Yes exactly. It’s nothing to do with the definition. It’s about how people try to re-define words to mean other shit. Not that we shouldn’t care about the definition of the word. If someone is trying to define something so we can all communicate on a level playing field with words we all understand then good. Otherwise it’s a bad faith argument. People need to be able to come to a common understanding together in a conversation.
Oh yeah, 100%
I see what you're saying. There's a huge difference between snidely asking "What is a woman?" so you can sit there and pick apart every definition they try to give, versus saying "When you use the term 'woman' here, what do you mean by it?" so you can understand their definition and move forward.
