      “Four letter word” is a nice way of saying a curse word (think shit, fuck, etc). So by calling feminism a four letter word, the author is saying that the prison considers feminism a dirty word, basically.

        So, America goes from censoring curse words, to censoring the words “curse word” now? Where does this end? You all talking in riddles like a Sphinx?
