The same thing was pointed out years back by people like Ayaan Hirsi Ali with the term "Islamophobia" and how criticizing a religious ideology is neither an irrational fear nor an attack/bigotry on Muslims but she didn't win this battle and Murphy/other radfems likely won't win this one either. It has been a decades long assault on the common, precise and universally understood language that allowed people to communicate clearly, and even to write laws and regulations clearly. It's hard to even defend yourself against accusations in a climate when the accusations are always suitably opaque and vague and can mean practically anything.
