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

  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?

        Woman-centered is not an absolute. One does not have to be part of a single characteristic of a group to have a stake in it, to be an ally, an advocate, a partner, a family member, among countless other scenarios.

        I would suggest reading up on intersectionality.

        By the way, all of this is covered in the subreddit sidebar, including in an FAQ in the wiki.

    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.

        You need to stay away from feminism and enby activism entirely until you’ve humbled yourself and seriously sat with the inherent misogyny of what you’re doing here today.

        You’re not helping anybody with that. Least of all enbies/trans people. And not just because it makes us look bad either, though that’s certainly part of it.

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

      Narrow minded nonsense.
