I knew it wouldn't be long before they infiltrated actual dictionaries: "Merriam-Webster Declares Feminism the 2017 Word of the Year"

To be fair, like TIME's "person of the year", MW's word of the year is not an endorsement of that concept. It's a word that encapsulates a concept they think was singularly influential over that year. And I think the only people who deny that feminism is influential are those trying to astroturf it.

from Wikipedia:

At first, Merriam-Webster determined its contents by analyzing page hits and popular searches on its website. Since 2006, the list has been determined by an online poll and by suggestions from visitors to the website.

But the real issue of the year - "Is Virtue Signaling Academic?".
