Comment on Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women?

  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.

        Then what does women-centered mean in practice? Is it just a nothing label?

      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.

        I think it would be even more against patriarchy if it was enby centered. They should change that.

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

        Narrow minded nonsense.

  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

        As a trans person please stop. You’re not helping.

  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.
