Need a break from all the depressing things about being a woman in this world? This circle is for you!
This circle is for celebrating all the good news relating to women's interests (and by all, we mean ALL, even the things you might disagree with, e.g. achievements or advancements for women in the military, business, religion, etc.)
Rules:
Relevance: Women should be the primary focus. Posts about men being held accountable, found guilty of crimes, etc. are NOT appropriate for this circle.
Formatting: Posts should be actual news, preferably in the form of an article or from an official news source. Do not edit the headline of linked articles; if you would like to provide additional commentary, please do so in a comment.
Civility: Keep discussions on topic. Do not denigrate the achievements or advancements of women.
Promoting Infighting or Drama: Do not start or perpetuate infighting or drama. Disagreements must be civil and must be about the CONTENT of the post, not about the poster, other commenters, the site, etc.
