Quote:They also mentioned the general-ish consensus was that they didn't want to entertain a conservative women's circle, because they felt it'd make the conservative appearance of Vexxed worse or something.
Quote:And I mean, yeah, if they keep doing the "gradually create circles" thing, and they choose a right-wing circle as one of their first circles... yeah that's not gonna be a good look. But if they just allow women to go make their own communities as they want, it is mostly out of their hands, besides enforcing site-wide rules. Well, it's their website, they can run it how they best see fit.

Wonder why this was locked. Doesn't seem to have broken rules, imo, unless the mods think exposing misogyny is sexist somehow.

It might be in the process of being moved to the "SexismExposed" circle. Iirc, when a post is trying to be moved, it is locked until the other circle's mods accept it. (Might be a good idea for them to add a note about this, if I'm correct, something like "this post is in the process of being moved to the /o/XYZ circle" to help explain why it's "locked.")

Honestly, the bureaucracy of moving shit there is like the dmv.
One thing that especially incenses me is the handwringing about conditions in Afghanistan or Sudan or whatever non Gaza area theyāre deflecting criticism toward. Itās not like womenās rights have advanced in any way by having the us wage war on them. And itās not like Westerners exactly want more niquabis immigrating here. The cute little flyers contests urging white western women to mentor teenage girls in English is atrociously dangerous to said girls.Ā
My guess is that the taliban are already transitioning to where certain āauntsā are in charge of childbirth and maintaining order, like the handmaidās tale, and the twist behind the handmaidās tale is that Lydia worked within the system to keep girls alive. Itās not something that us feminists can easily fundraise for, even if they wanted to.

First time that I click on a Vexxed link and the first comment is from pennygadget. The woman is a hardcore Zionist and spent every waking minute on Ovarit, I wonder if it's her job.

I hate myself slightly for silently following the changes on Vexxed, upvoting and downvoting freely then commenting over here. So far I have felt this is my only option given the right-wing groupthink there. It looks like BlackCirce* is making some changes to prevent āpoliticalā discussions on o/women. It is certainly pissing off the RW regulars but I donāt know that it will be enough. I want a forum where I can talk to women about feminism without having to worry that theyāre secretly Zionist Trump voters. Hiding politics outside of anti-trans is not going to help.
Iāve said this before, and I still believe, that a āfree speechā forum for āall womenā is going to be a magnet for right-wing trolls. Iām not interested in letting them waste my time. I believe there are flesh-and-blood RW women there too and Iām not interested in them either. I have to deal with enough RW women in real life as it is. I know all about their ideas and donāt need to know any more.
* and maybe other mods. I really like BC but she does have her work cut out if she wants to turn the site around. I get the feeling she is confining her changes to the forum she admins and wish her well.
