  reddit has /r/TwoXChromosomes which is one of my favorite subs. It’s a general womens subreddit, and though it obviously leans feminist it’s not its main purpose. It welcomes all genders, but remains a womens space.

  The fediverse could really use that energy.

    There’s also /r/WitchesVsPatriarchy which is also very strictly woman-centered.

      Damn women appropriating witchdom. Excluding boywitches just reaffirms the patriarchy’s gendering of magic. It’s re-inventing the same gender roles.

        Neither the WvP subreddit nor the Discord excludes men from identifying as witches or from participating in discussions.

        I’m sorry, what?

        It’s women-centered because it’s “against patriarchy”… not because it’s witchy. And they are trans & queer inclusive as well.

        Don’t worry you have nothing to get from people identifying as “witches”

    Yeah but thats a subreddit not REDDIT itself, you can similarly start a /c/TwoX on jist about any Lemmy instance.

      While I do agree with what you’re saying, I actually think a “by women for women” instance has a slightly different impact than a “by women for women” community. There are definitely pros and cons for both, though

    We used to have an equivalent on our instance, but it was constantly flooded with reply-bros and trans people complaining about the name, so we archived it as no women was willing to moderate it (for understandable reasons).

      Lemmy supports local-only private communities now, might be a good use case for that

        Nah, let the transphobic name die

    I wondered if they made the jump over here. Guess not, sadly. Reading that sub has made me a better man, because it offers some pretty harsh critiques of male behavior.

  Its all technically ran by trans women which is mildly interesting, like the mods of 2x and the others on reddit and here I think

    on reddit every female sub is ran by the same woman
