At what point does that word lose all meaning?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Meanings drift. The original word was coined in women's groups, literally for women who didn't find willing partners. Today it refers to the particular position of certain toxic male groups instead of the involuntary celibacy itself.

Insisting in keeping the original meaning could be a case of etimological fallacy.
