Well, at least they bothered to write “typically”.

The definition of rape is also pretty faulty imo, as it doesn’t include the possibility of forced ejaculation (or really, anything involving a penis except when it’s penetrating).

This is also google, right? Of course they’re largely feminist lol

his attitude towards women is patronizing and sexist Doubt they were talking about male feminists, but if the shoe fits...

I read that the other day.

We really are living in 1984.

This has been explained before.

Dictionaries are descriptive, not prescriptive. They explain how words are used, not how they should be used. Dictionaries do not have ideological goals.

The term "sexism" is indeed typically used to refer to discrimination against women. That is a factually correct statement, because that's the typical use of the term "sexism". That's what typicality means.

For example, men are typically attracted to women. Yes, gay people exist, but heterosexuality is typical. This doesn't mean heterosexuality is better or the only sexual orientation that exists, only that it is typical.
