I don't keep up with the communities site as a whole anymore. I know I'd seen they were going to make them user-created...does that mean without any vetting of the moderators? That's just Reddit all over again.
Maybe you should go create all of the woman communities yourself, fly under the radar a bit, then harass them via moderation.
(used r/ instead of c/ just in case one of those communities exists under the radar and would be notified I tagged them.)
I'd be pretty happy doing that, honestly. They'd be furious, but I honestly wouldn't care.
Would the admins accept someone effectively squatting on certain community handles to prevent their existence though?
I think if a community creator can be removed, they would probably accept it, because they can always remove the person doing it if it's not in the best interest of the platform for that community to not exist.

Don't lower yourself to their level. Censorship is censorship regardless of which way it flows.
It's not censorship, we're protecting our platform from infiltration.
Our mistakes have always been related to not gatekeeping hard enough. That's why Reddit went the way it did, that's why most social media did.
There's no shortage of places for feminists to speak, I would not feel guilty blocking them from here.
