Naming is a red herring. You'll hear over and over "Oh, sure, it's a real problem, but we can't deal with it while you're calling it that".

The name isn't the issue. No matter what you call it, people are going to object. They're not really objecting to the name. They're objecting to the fact that it makes them feel bad, and they're singling out the first thing they see as the excuse to do nothing.
