Sexist or not, it's a word. You'll find nigger and chink in the OED too. It's not an endorsement of the word, just that it has meaning in popular parlance.

Did they add misandry?

Yeah...betting not.

bants and rly were also added. So who wants to switch to German with me and embrace a language with standards and rules?

This community can learn from the effective PR of those opposed to equality.

We can create new words too, ideally promoting equality. The question is can we, as a community, get others to use those words too? How would we do so?

I think OP meant Sexiest word "Manspreading" added to the OED.

They got the definition of "SJW" wrong.

Furthermore, their choice of words to include is, shall we say, questionable, and overly confined to one area of internet discourse. Most of these words will prove to have been ephemeral.
