Op didn’t literally say ‘feminists should…’ and then carry on like a pork chop because feminists didn’t agree with them.

Can you like, go be wrong and melodramatic at someone else now please. Seriously you are behaving exactly like masks who you have berated for the same behaviour.

She is saying English-speaking feminists should. There are feminists who agree with me & others who don't. It's called diversity of opinion.

I've berated everyone for being unable to provide evidence to support their claims. I gave you link to a kids' book on sex education, demonstrating the lack of the word sex to mean what most here insist it means (a collective term for males & females). Not that I expect you to recognise evidence when you're shown it. Got a counter example? Thought not.

Hmm how about everyone in my family? How about myself? How about my first, second, and third primary schools? All use sex differently to you. I can assure you that my year four science tests asked us which sex the pictured plant was based on a diagram, not what gender it was.

And all of them will be immediately dismissed because only your anecdotes are valuable to you here. 🙄

Also. Is op a woman? And are you a woman or a man? (Do you think it might be in poor taste for a male to elect himself boss of feminism? Probably not given how you’re acting)

Don't assure me, evince it. Linking to examples ≠ anecdotes. Identity politics is never viable, hence why Fox News employs it.

Still demanding evidence while proving bullshit for your own. And just like I predicted, your anecdotes and assurances are all you have but it’s good enough 🙄. Unless you’ve found evidence that a google search is proof that all English speakers have the same hang ups over the word sex you do, but I doubt that. Like I said, go away and bask in your self appointed role of king of feminism.

How is a link to a book & google results anecdotes? I've purposely avoided using anecdotes. While anecdotes are all you've provided. You keep proving yourself wrong every time you fail to provide evidence.

How is a childrens book proof that no child would ever say a particular phrase? How does a google search actually prove that your hang ups over the word sex are universal? Hint: they don’t at all.

Proof & evidence aren't the same thing. You didn't answer the question: how is a link to a sex education book & the Google Image results for "sex" anecdotal?

What evidence have you supplied that isn't anecdotal?

What evidence have you supplied that actually supports the claim that every single English speaker on the planet has the exact same hang ups you do over sex?
