Apparently this is an unpopular opinion among feminists. If feminism is about equality for everyone, it needs to address that. As an example, LGBTQ+ was extended many times to cover everyone in the community, and that’s the right thing to do. There isn’t just L and everyone repeats “Oh! Lesbians are for rights for everyone, no need to update that”

I don’t know what the new name should be, but it should cover gender equality for everyone.

    I think you’re referring fourth wave feminism. I’ll say that I know very little about it, but it seems not to be have the level of thought behind it found in second wave, third wave, or crt. That may change, but I think most people working on the field are rigorously extending previous waves. So I wouldn’t call fourth wave a replacement for previous waves therefore making it any more modern other than it’s origin is more recent.

    My next question would be, is it truly integrated into a theory or is it just added to an set of beliefs picked from both second and third wave. Honestly, I have no clue.
