Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

What makes someone a RadFem?

I've been a feminist for a long time (probably since I could talk!) but I've never really looked into the different types of feminism. I don't feel the need to label it, but others do and that's fine.

Can someone help me understand the labels though?

What makes someone a radical feminist as opposed to just a feminist?

Why do some feminists say they aren't 'fourth wave' feminists...what is it about fourth wave that they are likely to be disagreeing with?

Thanks!

I always thought of myself as a liberal feminist but since I reached peak trans I feel much more at home with the rad fems. I'm also anti porn and sex work.

I wear makeup lots of days and shave and dye my hair and married a man whose last name I took. So some days I'm really not sure.

'Tbh, I don't really understand why we have to label ourselves as anything at all?? confused

Feminism is a broad church IMO and femininity or what is traditionally understood by it have nothing to do with whether a woman is a feminist or not.'

I completely agree with this.
