Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.

women's only community please only comment if you identify as female or non binary

Far more adult women are murdered by adult men than vice versa. Women are high risk for violence and sexual abuse. We often face bullying at work.

What would help women's safety?

There are three ways to keep women safe, and all three ways are needed. Social liberation, economic liberation, and political liberation.

Social liberation

  1. Eliminate toxic masculinity and fundamentally change how people view masculinity
  2. Create a culture where people acturally care about women and children, not as a whataboutism or an excuse for oppression but actural care.
  3. Reform religion, if a religious institution actively defends and hides rapists from accountability then they dont deserve to exist (every religion does this).
  4. Cultural reform, the way we view ourselves and society must change.
  5. Bring society together by focusing on walkable cities and people talking to eachother irl. Most importantly foster a positive community.
Economic liberation
  • Every worker deserves food and shelter, the right to the fruit of ones labor.
  • Abolition of competition as the primary economic motivator. Your fellow worker is not your primary enemy, we should focus on unity and collective efforts above competition
    • Political liberation
  • Abolish all institutions that seek to divide us
  • Abolish all unjust hierarchies
  • Ensure freedom and justice as a basic human right for all
  • Abolish reactionary thought and ideas
    • Remember, this is a societal issue and therefore can only be solved by fundamental structure reform.

    You make excellent points. We need liberation on several fronts, and without that, we can never be totally safe.
