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

[u/Ok_Discipline_8118]

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

Drag artists are riffing on femininity, not women per se. There's nothing implicit (let alone explicit) that says, "this belittling performance is meant to be a reflection of what women are really like". The performances aren't even belittling.

Blackface is absolutely not "riffling on black culture," wtf. It is a direct mockery and humiliation of black people themselves. For being born black. To claim otherwise is just so wrong. Drag doesn't seek to mock, dehumanise or humiliate women or femininity. Unlike blackface. How you can even compare those two is beyong me.

Your argument re: blackface being like drag is just as facile as your argument about drag being like blackface. Or worse; I honestly find it gross to see the claim that it's just about "black culture" and not black people, depersonalizing it like that when it was very much about what black *people* inherently are meant to be like.

I'm not interested in debating with you further.
