On that word "genocide"

Why I am not correcting anyone's use of certain pain-filled words

I knew I would get this question as soon as I released the first episode of our new podcast, Women Ending War. I knew that as soon as people heard my cohost, Eva Dalak, use the word “genocide,” there might be some freaking out about why I didn’t “correct” her.

I want to share with you my thinking on this. I’m speaking my thoughts instead of writing them. Would love to hear your comments.
