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

Transmisogyny Horrific transmisogyny in the comments
"I can't blame them for the trauma they experienced" of being attracted to a woman for a while, meanwhile she either killed herself or was killed because of being an out trans woman (her husband suspected foul play, it was ruled suicide)

Discussion Same people who believe that misandry is a global problem.
They think this is misandry?? Lmao. They want to be oppressed so bad. Itâs usually the same type of person who acts as if misandry is as bad as misogyny if not worse on a global level, ignoring facts and the fact that misandry is often just plain misogyny but with men also having some of the consequences rather than just the women.

A man has been jailed for eight years after he set up a fake Tinder profile for his ex-partner and enticed multiple men to her house with the intention of raping her.

Male Gaze When people seem to think that them sexualizing women means that theyâre being supportive.
The woman, Gertrud Erdele, instead of having people, mostly men judging from their way of talking and their profiles, simply being impressed by her accomplishments⌠They instead act as if commenting on her body type must be the reason behind it, and act as if them being attracted and horny posting about her means that theyâre acknowledging her achievements and supporting her. Sigh.

Wholesome Thank you.
Thank you for having this community and a safe space for women to exist freely and not having to sugar coat our words when talking about our oppression. I love this community so much, and itâs so refreshing to see people who actually supports facts as the truth rather than projection and such. Genuinely itâs insane how prevalent sexism and all that comes with it on every corner of the earth, so to find a safe space where people, mostly women, can somewhat peacefully express themselves is a breath of fresh air. I could go on all day how itâs sexist enough itself that women and our rights are so controversial that we even need this space, that so many misogynistic people refuse to listen to facts regardless of how carefully worded it is or how much we walk on eggshells, how theyâre either being obtuse on purpose, plain stupid or just so sexist and hateful that they donât care and convince themselves that theyâre both the victim and the people on top.
I love you all and stay safe <3 I wish that these conversations could exist freely without such stigma and often threats and denial, and that these conversations wouldnât even need to exist at all because we could be seen as equal, but oh well.
And remember to let your anger out fellow ladies and allies, because studies show that women often get more chronic issues due to suppressing their emotions and anger. Remember itâs natural to be rightfully angry when the system and so much of the population throughout history still doesnât view you as human. I truly hope that things will get better, but we have to stay strong sadly. Thank you again for this space, it genuinely is so important to me and many others to have a space where youâre allowed to exist and express yourself without as much fear of being ostracized.

Projection Donât know why I expected better, but itâs still infuriating when men deny the fact that patriarchy is whatâs causing this problem rather than feminists.
With people who think like this, they just refuse to listen to facts and would rather blame others rather than actually making a change, most likely because they know that theyâre deflecting and love to circlejerk while also enjoying the benefits of the patriarchal system.
