Words Generally Used to Elicit an Emotional Response

If you use any of the following terms then please be prepared to define them without using any of the other vague/obscure terms in this list. It's my opinion that these words are generally used to elicit an emotional response based on their connotations, as opposed to convey a message that is subject to meaningful analysis based on their clear/distinct denotative meanings:
Oppression
Domination
Exploitation
Equality
Patriarchy
Privilege
Feminism
Social Justice
Unfair
Mansplaining
Rape Culture
Systemic *anything* (e.g. racism)
Racism
Sexism
Misogyny
Corporate "culture"
Bossism
Profiteering
Wage slavery
Transphobia
Homophobia
Hate speech
...etc.

  1. Greed. Recently a Marxist told me that greed was the problem in the world, then with no regard for irony promised me I could have "whatever you wanted, all the best shit" in a collectivist utopia.
