minus-squareclassic@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoOkay maybe it’s because it’s late, but what is this four letter word for feminism?
minus-squarejeffw@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months ago“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.
minus-squareDarkThoughts@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoSo, 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?
