This is a general interest discussion community for women. Women can discuss most topics here. Rants, raves, interesting links, career advice, relationship advice, hobbies, interests, chit chat, pet pics, as long as you're a woman and it's not disallowed below it's all free to go here.
Our goal is to provide a friendly and supportive space for the women of Ovarit. This circle is not a "safe space," but it is and will always be a female-only space. This means if you are not female, you will be banned.
This circle is not for general politics or election topics - arguments about politics do not fit within this circle’s mission. This is not a debate circle.
Before posting, please check the list below of other women-only circles to make sure there isn't a community that is dedicated to the topic. Also, please use the feminist circles for feminist topics, such as /o/WomensLiberation and /o/GenderCritical. Posts about male violence belong in /o/NameTheProblem. This circle is not for news about violence.
If any part of your text / link post is about trans, post it to o/GenderCritical. Trans related image posts go in o/TransLogic or o/Radfemmery.
If you post about trans topics in o/Women your post may be locked and / or deleted. We cannot move posts around.
This is a friendly and supportive community for general topics which are not contentious. Posts which start arguments, or which devolve into arguments in the comments, are extremely likely to be removed. This is a friendly and supportive general chat community, not a debate or argument board.
Examples of topics which belong here:
- Rants, raves, advice seeking, or discussions about your relationships, jobs, family, pets, hobbies, travels, etc.
- Links to random media like music, or funny, silly, or uplifting things like alpaca videos.
- Links to various news or articles which don’t fit in other circles and are not about violence, male depravity, the oppression of women, and contentious topics including politics which either belong in other circles or do not lend themselves to friendly, supportive discussion in an ideologically diverse community.
The Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are both enforced here. Thank you for reporting rule violations.
If you are having a mental health or medical emergency, we unfortunately cannot help you. Please call a crisis helpline or use another qualified service.
Personal fundraisers are not allowed.
Do not post rants about other users.
Advertisements for Discord chat rooms or other private groups are only allowed to be posted by users who are level 7 or above and have been on the site for more than six months. Never give anyone sensitive information that could be used to de-anonymize you without first vetting them yourself. Be careful!
Some other circles on Ovarit are also women-only and are focused on specific topics:
-
/o/WomensHealthLounge: a women-only community to talk about all health topics, including mental health
-
/o/Fitness: a women-only community to talk about personal fitness
-

I would like to find another parallel that isn’t offensive to black women yes. Because they’re the afterthought in every feminist movement.
I suppose it’s different if you are also advocating for black women.
How does this one person speak for all black women? She's just sharing her personal view and you've decided never to bring up blackface again. She isn't even saying never say it again; she's saying it's done too loosely and too frequently. She says she personally thinks the two can be critiqued independently, but other black women hold that the comparison is apt and useful.
People can hold a different opinion and still advocate for black women. I believe black women are fully capable of forming rock-solid arguments without completely relying on appeals to emotion. That's me advocating for black women's full humanity.
Black women are not a monolith and one black woman's ideas about what's best might actually be a disservice to black women. Being offended isn't a great argument.
I definitely didn’t say anything about her speaking for all black women. I’m trying to be more mindful with my words. I don’t know why we are having this back and forth or why you’re saying what black women really need as if there isn’t black women in the post talking about it you can engage with.
Because women and girls are socialized to defer to anyone who says they are offended and that includes deferring to emotional appeals concerned with race that shut down discussions that need to be had. I see it as posturing, that's why.
I actually agree with that. Maybe I’m subconsciously doing that to an extent. But I’m also working on being anti-racist at this moment, so I’m trying to be more open minded and listen to black women about their feelings.

You have beaten your point repetitively now. I get it.
