Yep. That's a fit. When the word 'woman' is being weaponised against us, now is the time for feminists to reclaim it for our activism. When I was a student in political theory and tasked with reading endless male theorists on liberty and equality in which the authors used only male pronouns for the hypothetical subject, when I questioned this, he (mostly male tutors back then, 35 yrs ago) advised me and the rest of the class to just assume the author is referring to men AND women. I said I would assume no such thing, as it was pretty clear to me that this wasn't true. These theorists were not thinking about women at all.
