This is my personal attempt to keep up with new terms or old words used in new ways as they relate to social tensions.
Abolitionist
- someone who wishes to “Defund the police”. Eg. “the prevalence of abolitionist demands to “Abolish the police” or “Defund the police.”” https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2021/07/pandemic-hasnt-remade-society-after-all/619434/ by WTS grad Ekemini Uwan.
No Platform Policy
- An institutional policy that does not permit a speaker to have any platform to speak. “The government is on shaky ground in asserting that no platform policies violate human rights.” https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/humanrights/2021/05/18/do-no-platform-policies-violate-freedom-of-expression/
Autogynephile
- A person who is attracted to women only.
Sometimes we fight differently, and sometimes old fashioned, pre-internet, real-world, peaceful man behavior is what is called for when dealing with autogynephiles who get aroused by entering women’s spaces.
Extractive Political Leadership
- Leaders who exploit or extract from the public good, rather than building, growing or stewarding it. “…helpful if you are trying to understand our current extractive political leadership and its seemingly bizarre indifference to the future.”

Moralistic Authoritarian
- Sitting in absolute judgment like a god, with no moral code to guide you except your own.

Locking Out
