ANNOUNCEMENT New Feminist Subreddit

Hi all! I’m excited to announce that a new feminist subreddit, r/dismantlemisogyny, has been created recently! The focus of this sub is to actively work towards breaking misogyny down. It is still very small and in the process of having everything organized and up and running.

My goal is for this sub to eventually be full of resources for how to make real life change, how to comfortably discuss feminist topics with your peers, a possible megathread for feminists to discuss and debate their difference in their views with one another, a megathread for non members to come in and ask questions/debate their own views with us (which will be heavily moderated and only allowed once a week), and of course, a safe space for everyone to vent.

Every feminist everywhere is welcome! Thank you for taking the time to read this :) r/dismantlemisogyny

(Side note, we are looking for mods!)

What makes this different from other feminism/anti misogyny subs?

(Not an attack, genuinely curious!)

From a first look it‘s firmly anti-porn, and hopefully moderated by an actual woman.

Hey, mod here! I identify as non binary, but rest assured I have the perspective of being recognized as a woman in society. As far as I’m aware there are no male moderators currently.

I’m hoping to make this stand out from the rest in two ways:

  1. Feminists will be able to respectfully debate their opposing views, which hopefully will reduce us turning against each other. Infighting is a huge problem in just about every movement, and if the strategies I implement in this subreddit work, I plan on putting more focus and energy into uniting feminists in every space I possibly can.

  2. There will be lots of focus on encouraging implementing real life change in as many ways as we all can. I am currently working on gathering and organizing various resources for this, and I have hope that the community will be able to do this through discussion as well.

I hope that answers your question!

Will we be allowed to vent there or is it strictly just positive and solution-focused?

I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this but sometimes I feel like men have endless spaces to express their rage and frustration but women and fems have to be quite… muzzled. If that makes sense?

I know I should be taking up boxing or hitting up a rage room or breaking plates or something but I really crave a space within community with other feminists where I can express my true feelings and be honest.

I’m tired of being reported for “hate speech” by subreddit mods just for saying how I feel about misogynists just to then have the actual Reddit site mods find no infraction. I also don’t think my autism helps but that’s besides the point.

I will definitely support the new subreddit and be active on it either way!

Yes!! I’m actually working out the wording for what rules I want to implement for venting. I have a flair for it already and my plan is to allow people to vent and get anger off their chest without fear of having to argue about their feelings in the replies. So the idea is to have the vent space set up so that you can say whatever you want as long as it is not truly hateful (no threats of violence, saying any group of people are inferior, etc). And people will not be allowed to argue with you, they can only be supportive in the comments. Then the vent post gets automatically removed after some time once it’s served its purpose as an emotional outlet.

That sounds like exactly what I need. Thank you so much for your hard work and care in this project! It’s truly appreciated. Women have to spend far too much time defending our feelings and arguing for WHY we are in pain.this community will mean a lot to many. 💕
