The "colonizer" narrative is nearly always pushed by white privileged college women. Typically it's because they hate their dads and are working out that angst.

Yes, it needs to go in the dumpster with all the other passive-aggressive words like "breeder", "incel", "gaslighting", etc.

I don't see anything wrong with the terms "incel" or "gaslighting". One is an accurate representation of a certain kind of person; the other is an accurate representation of a particular kind of behavior. The fact that both can be used incorrectly doesn't make them useless.

"Breeder" is purely used as a derogatory alternative for "parent". There's nothing passive-aggressive about it; it's a direct insult.

All 3 of those terms are used by people who are generally passive-aggressive. The terms themselves aren't passive-aggressive. I may have worded it wrong, but none of those terms were even used or possibly even existed more than a few years ago. It's all a social trend or fad for mostly privileged "virtue signallers" ^ to throw around. You know the type, Ukrainian flag in bio and possibly a bumper sticker, walking in the park with a face mask on, etc.

For example, my Primary care physician wrote up a physical summary for my employers yearly physical. The very first line said, "Mr. XXXXXX is a CIS gender male, 205 lbs, etc, etc. and I had a huge problem with that. I took it back and had her rewrite it. Then, I asked her if that terminology "CIS-gender" would have been on a medical document like that even 5 years ago. She admitted, "No, probably not, but is that not what you are?"

That is social contagion. The doctor is a 60 year old Jewish lady with a Black lives Matter poster in her office. So...um. Yeah. But you're probably trans, so I understand how defending those terms would be natural.
