Insightful observations. Human beings wrap different ideas and meanings around every word. Words also change. The N word was once common, and a cruel way to use it was "You are my N." It is now replaced with the B word: "You are my B." I am not sure this is much better! Other words that no one agrees on are feminism, inclusion, climate justice, LGBTQ+, and "woman" to name a few. It is fascinating, but also disheartening. Thanks for investigating
