Time Magazine has apologized for including the word “feminist” on a poll of words that should be banned in 2015. Time apparently included “feminist” in response to a growing number of celebrities, from Beyoncé to Taylor Swift, who have embraced the term. Time’s suggestion the term should be banned sparked massive protest, prompting Time’s managing editor, Nancy Gibbs, to issue an apology, saying, “While we meant to invite debate about some ways the word was used this year, that nuance was lost.”
