The author called out blond at least five times. I am guessing if their hair was black, no mention would have been made of it. Next in line behind white men for the guillotine: white women.

Michelle, with the Trans men?or is it Trans male?, or Trans female? Sorry, I canтАЩt keep it straight (showing my age) ... my point, White women, ALL women are being cancelled in sports as the Trans guys deciding to be gals, are allowed / celebrated in WomenтАЩs Sports.

They are about as blond as I am! LOL. They are brunettes who dye their hair.

Simone de Beauvoir once pointed out "a brunette with blonde hair". I love that.

fitting considering it was the white women calling loudest for the white man's head.

I cannot disagree. For fourth wave feminists, the chickens are truly coming home to roost.

From Wikipedia:

"Fourth-wave feminism focuses on sexual abuse, sexual harassment, sexual violence, the objectification of women and sexism in the workplace. Internet activism is a key feature of the fourth wave.[4][5] Fourth-wave feminism broadens its focus to other groups, including people identifying as homosexual, transsexual and people of colour, advocating for their increased societal participation and power.[3] It also advocates for equal incomes regardless of sex and challenges traditional gender roles for men and women, which it believes are oppressive."

Wikipedia must be captured because all the 4th wave feminist sites that I know of are in opposition to the gender woo of the 3rd. It is synonymous with gender critical feminism as far as I know. Which is why itтАЩs suppressed.

Wikipedia is Woke. 3rd wave feminists are Woke meaning they embrace the current trendy gender ideology that ignores sex differences in favor of тАЬself identificationтАЭ

4th wave feminists seek to challenge 3rd wave feminists. We are agreeing that those gender ideology chickens are indeed coming!

Thank you for defining the distinction. It is unfortunate that feminism in general took things too far. The fact we have to differentiate between "waves" is a testimony to how the incessant need to "move the goalposts" says there were no goals to begin with, other than gratifying the female ego. As a mother of three boys, I cringe at the word "feminist" and hate; HATE; what "feminists" have done to men and boys. So in that respect, you and I respectfully agree to totally and completely disagree.

Nope. I meant 4th. But semantics aside, everybody knows who I mean. :-)
