@OxfordWords Surely your response to valid criticism of sexist definitions isn't a dismissive tweet implying @OmanReagan is rabid abt fem.

@KatrinaLatham Our point is that 'rabid' isn't necessarily a negative adjective, and that example sentence needn't be negative either.

@OxfordWords In that case, I'd love you to count up examples of when "rabid feminism" has been used positively or neutrally vs negatively.

@KatrinaLatham We'd certainly love to see a rise in the number of positive uses!

@OxfordWords If you guys actually change the definition of words to appease the crazy feminists then I'll be so disappointed in all of you.

Here's a secret. @OxfordWords doesn't make definitions or own language. They just catalogue what they see fit. @Isandro95

.@SuperNerdJohn @TorgoForever @DionneObeso if the last couple of months teaches us anything about feminism.. especially Cologne.. Well 1/
