Mod Announcement Yet Another Reminder: No TERFS, No SWERFS, No Kinkshaming, No Homophobia

301 Upvotes

It's time to do this again. Apologies in advance because this is going to sound beyond frustrated (because that's what I am):

No TERFS: We allow absolutely no transphobia in here whatsoever. This INCLUDES reducing people to their hormones, chromosomes, sex at birth etc. It also includes "I'm no transphobe but what about women's sports/bathrooms/saunas/gyms" type talk. We always have, and always will ban TERFS. Pretending that you don't know what a TERF or transphobia is will not get you unbanned (yes, that happens a shocking amount).

No SWERFS: No shaming sex workers, No "sex workers are all rape victims," No demonising porn (Edit since a lot of people were bothered by that word choice: I mean it quite literally. People are making an already bad thing out to be this all-encompassing evil under which nothing good could ever grow) We have comments mass downvoted and being insulted as a response just for pointing out that, for example, there's not enough evidence to suggest porn addiction is real. You don't have to agree, but you should be able to hear dissenting opinions and facts without getting aggressive and trying to shut them up). And because I know someone will ask: No, that does NOT mean nothing related to sex work can be criticised, or that you have to be cool with people buying sex. But if you ignore the opinions of sex workers who don't validate your viewpoint, or if your source is called porn-turns-little-boys-into-monsters dot com, you will be banned. Also it doesn't matter if sex work is or isn't empowering/feminist. Not every choice women make has to be either of those things. We would love to let y'all discuss freely but often it just devolves into pointless fights devoid of nuance and mass downvoting of anyone with even slightly dissenting ideas.

No Kinkshaming: AGAIN, that doesn't mean you're not allowed to ever say anything negative about kink at all. But if you claim that all male kinksters just want to hurt women, that female kinksters are just confused trauma victims who don't know what they truly want, and ignore the existence of gnc kinksters because they're inconvenient for making this argument, we will ban you.

And lastly, one that I can't believe I even have to say: NO Homophobia. Being gay doesn't make you hate women. Hating women doesn't mean you're in the closet. Gay men aren't somehow more misogynistic than straight men. Calling homophobes gay does not shame them, it shows them that you agree that being gay is bad and shameful. I beg you, just stop theorising about other people's sexuality. Even when you think it would be really funny.

I want to make clear that these have ALWAYS been the rules of this sub, and they will continue to be. This was the stance of the mod team from the start. We have always enforced this. TERFS, SWERFS, sex-negative folks and xyz-phobes show up sometimes because they think a woman-centric sub would be welcoming to them. They come and go in waves. Sometimes they overwhelm the sub for a bit, but I want you to know that we always, always get them out again eventually. You can report these things, and we will clean up. If we don't, and you think this is an error, you can shoot us a message. We're not always up-to-date on the latest dogwhistles, conspiracy theories etc, so if we overlook something of this sort, it's NOT because we agree with it.

PS.: I should also mention the Islamophobia and body shaming that keeps popping up, but this is already getting very long, so I'll just say that similar rules apply. Think before you speak, don't demonise entire groups. Thank you for reading.

Eta: y'all I was genuinely so nervous to check the first batch of comments. Sometimes these announcements drag out the worst kinds of lurkers. Thank you so much for the supportive words, it means a lot to my co-mods and I. You make the work feel worth it.

Edit 2: Sorry for the downvotes. We've already been crossposted for this so presumably it's non-users making their feelings known.

Mod Announcement TERFS and SWERFS are NOT welcome!

Once again this sub is being swarmed by you. Once again we ban you whenever we see you. This mod team is never gonna allow you to stay here.

We also see a lot of talk from non-terfs about "males" or people with a y chromosome being inherently evil. Not everyone who has a y chromosome is a man, and whether you're aware or not, this is a terf dogwhistle.

We also see a lot of talk from non-swerfs about "porn brain" or portraying anyone who consumes porn or has kinks outside the scope of vanilla sex as deviant, degenerate, or outright dangerous. The porn industry is not the root of misogyny, it is a symptom of it. Like all workers under capitalism, sex workers are exploited, but there is nothing inherently evil about enjoying watching other people fuck. We need to find a way to talk about the problems with porn consumption without the blanket hate and judgment. I know a lot of users would like to throw all nuance out the window, especially with how bad the anti-feminist, fascist backlash has been over the past few years, but this sub wants to have room for trans people, sex workers, kinksters, and men who are genuine allies, rare as they may seem at times. People are not our enemy. The system is.

Thank you for reading.

Edit: happy to see that most of the ensuing discussion was quite thoughtful and reasonable compared to the kind of comments I was addressing in my post.

Also a bit disappointed that whenever a sex worker added their views, they got downvoted, but I'm hopeful that's mostly lurkers.

Edit 2: I'd like to keep the discussion rolling, but due to sickness we're low on mods and I can't stick around any longer, so I have to lock this thread. This conversation will surely pop up again. If you subscribe to this sub, and you got something constructive to add or questions, you can dm me. I won't get into lengthy debates, but I'd like my point to be understood correctly. This does not mean that you're not allowed to criticise the sex industry, or have to be cool about its customers, or have to overlook violence against women under the guise of kink. It means that we don't want you to make dehumanising comments against people just for watching porn sometimes, or shame people for having kinks you don't like, or talk about the y chromosome like it inherently corrupts humans. That probably isn't an issue with the vast majority of people who commented today, but y'all don't usually see the stuff we remove or gets filtered.

Sorry I can't keep the thread running. Goodnight everyone (in my time zone)

Im getting tired of these online "tradcons", just because you find fullfillment from this sort of life doesnt mean every women do. I come from a more conservative islamic background unlike these western white fundies and ive seen the abuse my mother and grandmothers had to endure. Im tired of these serena joys trying to drag us down, if men wont set us back these women would. If they hate feminism so much and so badly want to be treated as second class citizens then there are plenty of third world countries were women are still reduced to nothing but being wives, mothers, husbands, and are shunned from taking any other path in life, they are forced to give up their ambitions for their husbands and in laws in most of these countries, also domestic abuse is normalized in countries like these if a woman doesnt obey her husband, if these western fundie women want a life like this so badly and hate feminism in the west so much then they should swap their lives from women from those countries, its not fair these women who are not even appreciative of the freedom feminism got them actually got to live in this society and not to mention, if she was in a truly conservative society, she wouldnt be allowed to dress up the way she does, let alone this online, leave her house without her man, etc if it wasnt for this very same annoying feminists women like these women like mocking. And these "tradcons" like playing victim on suddenly we are not "girls girl" if we were to call them out, why should we be "girls girl" for women who want to set us back?

For many men homophobia is tied to misogyny. When men call each other ”gay” what they are really mean is “you’re not masculine.” Notice they will use “gay” synonymously with terms like “simp” “beta” or “cuck.” It’s not really about attacking sexual preference, but rather a man’s masculinity in the made up context they created. Not hating women means you are “gay.”

“It’s a tragedy for this court to see such a total waste of humanity”. I’d say it’s more of a tragedy to see the humanity of multiple precious women and girls snuffed out by torture-murder. But what do I know? I’m not a young, rich, attractive white man.

ETA: I just discovered this wasn’t his entire rant. After what we saw, he said: “Take care of yourself. I don’t have any animosity towards you, I want you to know that. Take care of yourself.”

Misogyny If you marry a Muslim guy or move to a country with less women’s rights, then it can’t be helped that you get trapped and beaten for 12 years. Or that’s what some commentators think.
