You educate yourself about the history of the movement/ideology, and about similar situations where political movements claim one goal or idea and then move the goal posts. There are plenty of feminist apostates that can explain this to you on YouTube videos etc. if you can't figure it out on your own. It is not uncommon in politics for a movement to say their goal is one thing, for example equal opportunity for blacks in so-called Civil Rights, and then when the outcomes don't achieve their expectations they change their goal to equality of outcome rather than opportunity. Post-modern ideologies don't care about logical consistency, they will contradict themselves 12 times before breakfast on their path to achieving their political ends. They will hold you to your logical consistency though, so watch out for that and when you realize someone is holding you to a standard they are not following you should not believe anything else they have to say.So what do we do? Assume that any time someone uses a word, they use it with whatever additional meaning we, personally attach to it? How can we have a discussion if we all use the same words, but mean different things by them?
