Feminism, like a lot of political movements, continues to be 'gatekeeped' by older generations, a similarly aged commentariat and their concerns. It struggles to be centred around the experiences of younger women or intersectionality.
Since about 2019, the typical platformed feminist is (stereotypically) a 60 something, second wave, white TERF. In fairness this is by design. More so in the UK, but increasingly in the US too when that wasn't the case only a few years ago.
Third-wave feminism, which isn't new, remains in a state of arrested development under the strict banner of 'feminism', so activists best progress this movement intersectionality through green, queer, housing movements etc.
