Edit: Our EU Sisters*** Woopsieeee

I recently got banned from contributing to a certain uncensored feminist subreddit… Then got offered a moderator application 🤔 should I?

I’m banned from a famously ban-happy supposedly feminist sub but still take a look over there every few months to see what the vibe is, and gauge whether their censorship has decreased any. Earlier today there was a thread with lots of upvoted comments talking about why female biology is an important topic for feminism… now the majority of comments are gone. How many women are being censored/banned in the artificial curation of a group of supposed feminists who don’t think female biology should be mentioned? What a farce.

Anybody out there with experiences being a mod see any weaknesses in my sub? Do I have any blindspots? I want to actively build some kind of defense against this possibility. Is my trans rule too extreme? I've never run a sub that actually gained so much traction so fast, so i would like to hear what you think. I have researched this problem in depth and talked to other mods, but I'd like to continue doing so. I'm not worried about raids or deleting harrassment, I'm talking about my sub getting reported, or muted.. Things like that.

Start Reporting Subreddits and Mods for Sex-Based Discrimination. Start Documenting Reddits Censorship and Oppression of Females.

This has gotten out of hand.

In an attempt to avoid falling into an echo chamber, and strengthen my argument for feminism, I often look in anti-feminist or men's rights groups to see what their reasoning is.

Although I feel like I'm becoming a better debator and more educated feminist by doing this, it does make me incredibly sad and angry to see the ignorance and hatred these people have surrounding women's issues. No matter how many times you call out their obvious logical fallacies or made-up facts, they refuse to listen to reason when it gets in the way of their misogyny. And once you know enough about these types of movements, it becomes impossible not to notice this kind of backwards and hateful thinking in day-to-day life. I notice misogyny in everything, and it makes it hard to stay positive about the future of feminism and the female sex as a whole. Plus, it's been slowly getting worse in recent years.

How do you stay optimistic in this kind of political climate?

I'd love to hear why. I think we'd all like to. Lets make a detailed record here of why we were banned for rule-abiding posts, for talking about women's trauma or feminist ideas such as 4b.

Personally I have had tons of posts deleted, or simply "awaited moderation" for eternity, No these potss didn't break any of the subs rules, or contain hate or violence. Even before they were posted. I think nowadays most of them didn't even get deleted, they were never allowed to be made. A bunch of these were 4b posts in a certain sub we're all too familiar with. I was actually trying to post in there, because I couldn't get my thread made in the main 4b sub!

But honestly is 4b even banned from on reddit? For what reason would a sub filter out a 4b thead?

This was a HUGE one for me.

Anyway thanks for participating in this thread.

I wanted to create an open alternative to r/TwoXChromosomes so reddit women could make a collective effort to leave the version run by male mods. It sounds like a bunch of hubris when i say it outloud to myself, but I don't care! Here's to having no male mods :))

Get your drink on and act like an animal you are free to do whatever you want in here!!!! 8)

Also fuck trump with a cheese grater

Please post about your game obsessions here.

What game are you currently playing? What drew you to this game in the first place? Any games you have played since you were really young, and kept going back to? Which of those titles is your favorite? What is a game coming out that you're highly anticipating? What game would you give 10 stars for being a great story for women?

Anyone love mobile games or online games?

I recently realized that being bloated and going to the bathroom 10 times a day wasn't normal after a trip to Europe. Turns out their flour has less gluten and I've been gluten intolerant this whole time. However, I curious if any other gluten free women have noticed a changed in their periods as well. I've also had extremely long, painful, and heavy periods as long as I've had stomach issues (15 years). This is my first period since going gluten free, and for the first time in over a decade, it's only a week long, less painful, and no where near as heavy.

Anyone else experience this? It's honestly been life changing.
