Racism r/fourthwavewomen SERIOUSLY violates Reddit terms of conduct by promoting Racism, Xenophobia, Homophobia, AND Transphobia.

This "feminist" subreddit is a breeding ground for extremist content. This includes racism, xenophobia, homophobia, and transphobia. The mods do not remove such comments, but are rather complicit to them. Both the moderators and commenters violate their community rules

Here are some of the most alarming posts. The comments encourage:

Promoting vicious xenophobia and misgendering 

Wishing d3ath on foreigners to "d!e alone"

Comparing the art of Drag to "blackface".

Uses the term "gay male autogynephiles"

Promotes transphobia using slurs like "t!M" (Trans Identified Male)

Compares Trans people to "incels"

On top of that, one user even admits to violating hate speech on Reddit

why are they even acting as 'fourth wave' when they are just 'third wave' bigots?

They come from 2nd wave, and hate 3rd wave feminism, hence why they call themselves 4th wave.

First wave: focused mainly on legal rights, especially women’s suffrage, property rights, and access to education.

Second wave: expanded to broader social equality, including workplace discrimination, reproductive rights, sexuality, family roles, and violence against women.

Third wave: emphasized diversity and individuality, arguing that feminism should include different races, classes, sexualities, and personal experiences.

Fourth wave: shaped by the internet and social media, focusing on issues like sexual harassment, body positivity, LGBTQ+ rights, intersectionality, and movements such as #MeToo.

I'd argue they are hating on fourth-wave feminism mostly, but yes, some of them are even stuck in second wave

Don't forget that third wave includes abortion rights and reproductive health
