Welcome to /o/FeministEvents!
This circle is for sharing and discussing feminist or women-oriented events of all kinds, including local in-person events, online webinars, interactive calls, and livestreams. Post an upcoming event, let us know about an event you’re organizing, share your experience from an event you attended, or discuss ideas for a potential event.
Our goal is to share feminist events of all kinds, including global and local events, online and in-person, and to encourage and promote involvement in feminist causes and an understanding of current women's issues and women's history.
No health-oriented events, except those related to women's rights (menstruation, reproductive rights, harm due to only studying men, etc.).
If you want to share a local event, but don’t want to reveal your location, please DM a mod and we can post the event for you.
When posting an event, include the event name, location, date and time (with time zone), and cost, when applicable:
If local, add the location in brackets: Feminist Event [place name]
Include the date and time (with time zone): Feminist Event [date time (GMT)]
If not free, mention the price of event (fixed price or donation): Feminist Event [$5]
All feminist events are welcome, except those on health-related topics. Please be mindful of the Ovarit Sitewide Rules when discussing challenging or controversial content.
Articles about events that have already occurred should be posted in other circles.

Male entitlement is one hell of a dangerous beast,
A bit unrelated, but something that seems to strike me as similar, my trad-dad would never want to be around my mother in his free time UNLESS she was with friends or on the phone. Then, like clockwork. He'd shamble his way to wherever she was, find a couch, chair, bed, floorspace to settle, and would spend the entire time listening into her conversations as if monitoring her,
Now, as to whether or not he actually is, I don't quite know -
It even comes up nowadays. When I call my mother for a conversation that I only want to have with her, she always has to step out or drive elsewhere to get away from him,
it always struck me as..odd.
Oh wow, that's so uncomfortable! I think a lot of men are insecure and think that when women want a private space to talk, they have to be talking about the men in their lives. But the reality is sometimes women just need a space to breathe. We're kinda seeing this with TIMs reacting to a woman-only club -- I've seen them posting things like "Can't believe they needed to make their own club just to talk shit about trans women" and it's hilarious and kind of sad that they think lesbians are so obsessed with them when most of us just want them to leave us alone!
We'd rather talk shit about them to their faces, so they know what we really think and they feel like the creepy rapey garbage they are.
Except they would resort to (totally not male) violence if we did.
