...because sometimes I'm having a really shitty day and I need to see a bunch of random men on the internet have their asses handed to them, repeatedly, by a coven of hilarious, brilliant women.
Just wanted to say thanks for this community -- and sorry-not-sorry for the clickbait ;)
I’ve noticed Sir Sealion von Mansplainin around here. He must be a masochist.
What did I miss?
A few days back a TIM was pretending to be Oh So Reasonable while whining about how women are meeeeean to him. He was clogging up the site with his uselessness.
How did I miss this????
I didn't know they were. What's the point of the place if males are allowed here, genuine question
Hahaha thank you! I have a bunch of male users "tagged" so I don't end up wasting my breath. I understand logistically why this place can't be female only, but I can still dream can't I?
I've noticed they really REALLY love walls of text, especially scolding walls of text that end up telling us to "be nice".
I've said this before but I'd happily donate if we could fundraise for ovarit mods to develop a block button so I could block males on sight. I have no interest in anything a man has to say about women's issues and especially a TIM.
One thing I don’t want is TIMs on this site. I haven’t the patience for their shit.
Agreed. I just really enjoy the run-of-the-mill mansplaining cuz it gets shut down lightning quick and has provided some excellent humor from fellow women.
Yes, that stuff’s okay, but the spinny pervert whiner brigade, ugh, no. Ban them on first report of their presence, I say. I know the site owners are not keeping invite codes as a thing, but this is why I wish they would. No looking forward to the brigading by the chucklefuck transvestites,
I'm not either, but on the bright side, I AM looking forward to seeing how they get THEIR asses handed to them!
I shall try to focus on that ... it’s mostly the waste of time involved, plus endless screeds of shit not worth reading, I’m not looking forward to.
That's a good point actually -- maybe we will have username flair before then? Then if you don't want to read thru their comments, you could at least scroll past the ones who are honest enough to add male flair to their profiles.
That’s a great idea! And if blocking users meant blocking their comments, not just preventing them from sending private messages.
Yeah, that would work as long as there were some kind of placeholder text for comments from users you didn't want to see -- like a spoiler bar to hide it or something. Otherwise it would be super confusing to read any sort of longer comment thread if half the comments were just missing!
You’re right, it would definitely need that.
One of us deleted her account after posting about that antandro asshole and his mansplaining about how privileged we are. That made me sad.
Really? That's atrocious, that's really depressing. No women should feel pressure from the mods to delete her account in favor of keeping the men here happy.
I'm actually really disappointed in that. Wow.
TBH it was a very fine line to tread, especially when there was a major recent post by the mods about being civil. In this case, I supported her doing that and understood exactly where she was coming from, but probably would not have made the same choice for myself. 🤷♀️
P.S. you may get some grief for calling him an "asshole" -- I think we were explicitly asked not to make direct personal attacks
Wow, that's really fucking shitty. I honestly can't believe mods are defending men here. Do they want all the serious radfems to leave? This place will just be watered down libfem garbage plus hoards of men, like what usually happens when we're forced to capitulate to their mantrums.
I'm really disappointed in the mods here.
100% with you on that. I would really hate to see trans ideology infect Ovarit. It's already all over the net, go elsewhere.
Are TiMs allowed here?!
"Allowed" implies some sort of gatekeeping, which as far as I know, is not the case. Pretty sure they can request accounts from mods same as anyone else.
I mean, what the hell is the point of any of this if we're letting them participate here? That's what got us into this mess in the first place. Handmaids letting them come into female-only feminist spaces. Now, decades later, they're straight up bashing females, destroying female only spaces for all of us, and women are heavily punished for not kissing their asses and centering them 25/8.
I genuinely did not know we were consciously letting them on this site. Like I thought the point was to have a space that they weren't allowed. Why are we sharing shit with them?? They've appropriated our biology already. Why are we still handing them out things and including them?
Fully agreed. I don't understand the thinking surrounding this decision and I wish it would get addressed.
This honestly feels like such a stab in the back. We now have to protect and coddle male feelings here, especially the feelings of misogynistic mansplainers that come at us with walls of text demanding we be nice.
I'm really disappointed in the mods here, and honestly pretty disgusted.
Fully agree with you. I even saw a conversation on a separate radfem discord server that a woman gave a male a code and she was happy about it. :| there’s no helping handmaidens - they’re gluttons for punishment
Yes they are. And apparently we're being monitored and policed and forced to be nice to them.
What do you mean?
I'm exaggerating because I'm pissed off, but the whole thing with a certain male user here, where women were calling him out and then a post about civility popped up in response to how "mean" we were to someone who felt the need to lecture us, again.
But I'm honestly afraid to keep talking about this because I don't want to get banned. I guess women will have to resort to secretly private messaging each other to warn about the men on here now that mods disapprove of public warnings about men (which is fucking bizarre, like why are we protecting them??)
Idk either. I know I might get banned too but if I see any open TiMs anywhere on this site I'm reporting their comment IDC what it says
The civility post had nothing to do with any men.
