No it isn't, the revocation of the license happened yesterday.

Nope, the revocation of the "Geek Feminists" license /just/ occurred. 2019. January.
And YES, the author can revoke.
You were asking "Oh if you can do it, go an do it".
Now it has been done, and let it be noted that you shut your mouth suddenly.
The last time a revocation of a GPL licensed work happened, it was a blanket-world-wide revocation (differing from this revocation from a small number of people) and the distros DID stop distributing the affected piece of software.
The license is a gratuity, with no interest attached. It can be rescinded by the grantor. Just as you can kick a guest out of your property that has worn out their welcome (you gave them license (permission) to occupy, and now you are rescinding that license), you can do the same regarding other property.
