We are the radfem meme circle
The Old Queen r/trollgc is dead, may she forever rest in power.
Long Live the New Queen at Ovarit: Radfemmery.
The Radfemmery is a place for users to share screenshots, memes, and gifs related to all aspects of radical feminism. We want to blur the line between being funny and serious, so that we can find humour and release in a world that's more often than not against us. Better to laugh than cry sometimes. All areas of radical feminism can be meme’d.
Moreover, The Radfemmery is where we gather round and share content from radfems/GCs meant for radfems/GCs. This circle is not for sharing the foolishness of TRAs, libfems, and men. That content belongs in o/TransLogic.

Tip: If you aren't sure where a post should go, check out o/ItsAFetish and o/TransLogic to decide whether or not those would be better circles to post in.
Rule 1: Appropriate Posts
Memes, screenshots, and gifs ONLY
NO text posts or copypasta.
NO linking to news articles or outside websites, even those satirical or sardonic in nature.
Stick to visuals.
NO PORN VISUALS OR TEXT (They fit better at o/ItsAFetish)
NO genital pictures, including neovaginas and neophalluses. Mastectomies and breast implants will be taken on a case-by-case basis.
Rule 2: Inappropriate Content
NO TiM/TiF/MTT/FTT SELFIES ALLOWED
NO TRANSFOOLERY FROM TRAS THEMSELVES. THIS BELONGS IN O/TRANSLOGIC
Rule 3: The NO List
NO misogyny, racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, ableism, ageism, colorism.
NO slurs: No n-words, misogynistic slurs (ex: bitch, slut, terf, cis), t-slurs or their derivatives (ex: trunacy, troon, Timmy, Timothy)
NO debating. Take debates to other circles. Do NOT debate tenets of various philosophies here. No derailing or sealioning. No DARVO.
NO template gripes.
NO conversion therapy (aka Genital Preferences are Transphobic) or other right-wing, conservative talking points allowed.
NO joking about any and all illegal activity that could actually happen
NO talking about downvotes. For the love of all that is female, STOP talking about downvotes. Mods are sick of it. No griping about how many downvotes your comment or post got, or another person's comment or post got. Those comments will be deleted even if they accompany otherwise good commentary.
Rule 4: Redactions
Reddit names do NOT need to be redacted, neither do Chapo Chat names, etc.
Do not redact the Twitter handles of TRAs and misogynists.
Verified users are always fair game.
FACEBOOK NAMES NEED TO BE REDACTED
We do NOT protect misogynistic men and their sycophants. Record any and all misogynies.
Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are enforced here.
Happy memeing~!
You're telling me women do things that don't revolve around caregiving? You're telling me they have fantasies and desires that don't involve penises? Not possible
Nope, you gotta go to war for the dick!
Speaking of historical literature, this was my childhood. Watching Anne of Green Gables (the one casting Megan Follows), and pondering the lesbian desires of the red-haired orphan. To my oblivious self, Anne was more frequently involved in expressing desires for females, particularly her "bosom friend" Diana Barry. She was a woman in love with her "friend":
Sounds like wedding vows ...
And "queer"?! Why do you play with my heart Montgomery? Sigh ...
At the time (9-10 year old), I did not know I was a lesbian, nor did I know what a lesbian was. What I knew was the frustration I felt when the "creators" (Montgomery) of the story ruined my ship, and had Anne go to war for dick (Gilbert).
I was bold, and unapologetic. Other people claiming that I would be with a man one day made me want to vomit. "No way! My education is more important!".
Anne was bold and unapologetic. I was bold and unapologetic. I saw myself in her ... until I didn't. They didn't allow her to love as boldly, as unapologetically, as unencumbered by social expectations.
At least Anne marries Diana and doesn't revolve around freaking Gilbert in my imagination.
I never read the second book because I couldn't bear watching her grow up and marry Gilbert
