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~!
Her and Nancy Mace are my heroes. I could only dream to speak with JK Rowling in real life.
Slightly unrelated, but it always bothers me when people say JKR must be trans (???) and that’s why she “hates” trans people and that she’s a hypocrite because she has her own preferred male name.. like yeah dumbass she is a WOMAN who had to use a MAN’S NAME to be taken seriously at the behest of her publisher.. basically proving her point that women are oppressed on the basis of even PERCEIVED sex. /rant over
I remember seeing a study proving this on art work. People were given various paintings to judge and if they saw a mans name by it they gave it a higher rating versus ones with a woman's name next to it.
When they were given the paintings to view without names, the results were a lot different and female paintings got higher ratings. I have been trying to google it but all I am coming up with is that female artists get paid less than male ones and their work goes for less at auction.
This same bias is why orchestras began holding auditions in ways that disguised the sex of the player.
Works the same for resumés
I can't remember off the top of my head either, but there's a chance it could have been something from Guerrilla Girls, or at least referenced in one of their books/info sources. I've not kept up with them for a while but I know they've always been a good resource for sexism in art.
I love them! Do you know if they’re GC? I’d be so disappointed if they’re TRA.
I'm not sure but I feel the same. Their whole idea breaks apart if they start including men as women. One of my old professors loved them and highlighted a lot of their older work before I peaked so I never thought to look at that until now honestly. Their wiki page said they had a "controversy" for being "insensitive towards trans women" in a campaign, but I can't even tell when that was or if they've since changed anything.
