Posting Rules

Although we focus on feminism and women's issues, there are other systems of oppression which intersect in various ways. Therefore, sexism, classism, heterosexism, homophobia, anti-egalitarianism, transphobia, ablism, racism, and any other oppressive belief systems are also not allowed.

In addition, off-topic, inciteful, baiting or antagonistic content may be subject to removal. Be respectful and courteous! Feminism does not work in isolation, but rather is interconnected with all other work for justice and egalitarianism, and we believe that as injustice is addressed and overcome in society, all marginalized groups will benefit.

Discussions in this subreddit will assume the validity of feminism's existence and the necessity of its continued existence. The whys and wherefores are open for debate, but debate about the fundamental validity of feminism is off-topic and should be had elsewhere.

Please help us keep our discussion on-topic and relevant to women's issues. Discussions of sexism against men, racism, classism, ableism, and other -isms are only on-topic here if the discussion is related to how they intersect with women's issues.

If your reaction to a post about how women have it bad is "but [insert group] has it bad, too!" then it's probably something that belongs in another subreddit.

Here is an informal guide for posting:

Let X be the topic you want to discuss.

• Is X relevant to equality for women?

• Are you making an original post or replying to an existing thread in which X has been explicitly mentioned in an ancestor?

If you answered "yes" to both questions, then you may post.

Moderation

Moderators are here for you. Our goal is to make this a welcoming space where feminists can discuss the issues freely. We have an open door policy and invite concerns, questions, and suggestions. Please feel free to contact us with your thoughts, as moderator mail will be totally confidential. If you wish to start a meta-thread about /r/Feminism, please direct it to /r/Meta_Feminism.
