Okay kiddo, so you know how girls can do anything boys can do, right? Well, some people think that even though things are better now, there are still some things that need to change so that girls and women are treated the same as boys and men. That's what fourth-wave feminism is all about – trying to make things more equal for everyone.
In the past, girls and women couldn't always do the same things as boys and men. They didn't have as many chances to go to school, work at good jobs, or even vote in elections! But over time, people fought hard to make things better. They worked to change laws and rules, and they spoke out about what they thought was important.
Now, fourth-wave feminists want to keep making things better. They talk about things like the gender pay gap, which means that girls and women don't always get paid as much as boys and men for doing the same job. They also talk about how boys and men should be able to express their feelings and emotions just like girls and women do – it's not just for girls to cry or be emotional!
Fourth-wave feminists also want to make sure that everyone is treated with respect, no matter what they look like or who they like to love. They want to make sure that all people have the same chances in life, no matter what their gender or race or religion or anything else.
So you see, kiddo, fourth-wave feminism is all about making the world a better, fairer place for everyone. It's not just about girls and women – it's about everyone, because we're all in this together!
