Trump’s most erudite troll is the Merriam-Webster dictionary
Merriam-Webster is at it again.
The dictionary company, which had been using not-so-subtle tweets to troll Donald Trump (both the candidate and the president), took to Twitter again to school Kellyanne Conway on what being a feminist means.
Merriam-Webster tweeted a definition of the word “feminism” after the president’s counsellor said that being a feminist is associated with being “anti-male” and “pro-abortion.”
“Part of our social mission is to show the world how funny, timely and relevant the dictionary can be”
“It’s difficult for me to call myself a feminist in a classic sense because it seems to be very anti-male, and it certainly is very pro-abortion, and I’m neither anti-male or pro-abortion,” Conway said during a conversation onstage with conservative commentator Mercedes Schlapp.
“So, there’s an individual feminism, if you will, that you make your own choices. . . . I look at myself as a product of my choices, not a victim of my circumstances.”
The tweet was in response to statements Conway made at the Conservative Political Action Conference, which started earlier this week and ends Saturday.
Something similar happened a month ago - when Conway used the phrase “alternative facts” to defend false and easily disproved claims that the White House press secretary made about Trump’s inauguration crowd.
