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.
I'm not saying it would be fallacious; I'm saying that the person I was responding to wouldn't get the nuance of it.
You weren't sure whether it was, it seemed to me.
