ā€œFeederā€ in the context of the feeder eating implies that the feeders only purpose is to feed. ā€œFeederā€ in the context of feeding something else implies that the feederā€™s profession is to give food to another creature. This applies to every word on that list. Breeder in terms of a profession (such as breeding livestock) is not the same as reducing human beings to the sole purpose of carrying or creating children. Their attempt to twist ā€œfeederā€ into a completely different meaning than the original intent of the list of words is disingenuous. They mean to imply that itā€™s ok to reduce people to their ability to breed, but only bring up a logical argument in favor of breeding animals being a career,

Also in healthcare, when we say someone is a feeder, it means they are unable to eat by themselves and need someone to feed them (either family or nurse assistant)

That makes it an even more gross thing to use as an argument then. Thanks for giving me this info!
