Maybe, maybe not, but it's not really worth it in a conversation with someone as shallow as pool.

If the person who pointed out that no true Scotsman would do a certain thing then explained why that is by pointing out that the counterexample someone gave to him was a false one, since that particular Scotsman wasn't really a Scotsman by nationality, but an Italian, how would that be fallacious? It's the same with feminism, if you can reasonably argue why someone doesn't fit the description of a feminist you're in the clear.

I find that people tend to fear ridicule so much they avoid certain common pitfalls when there's no need to do so.
