Ovarit is just as guilty of random censorship as reddit. What happened?

Yeah I never made it over there, too many hurdles. Yes a secret code is just too juvenile for me, sorry. I didn't agree with hardcore feminists all the time before this all started and I'm not about to now. My point is we need places for everyone to be able to discuss freely. I don't want my own echo chamber and that's pretty much what I expected. best Marty Crane impression I can manage

It's not a "secret code". It's an invite code to minimize flooding in of TRAs, MRAs and libfems intending to cause chaos while ovarit's in its beta phase. Anyone can generate it, though the community relies each inviter does some degree of vetting of the invitee.

Funny how your disdain for it (calling it an echo chamber) and naive desire for it to be a space for everyone is already addressed by ovarit. It's written on each and every page of their site, if you cared to read it "All space becomes male space unless females maintain a concerted effort to mark a space for themselves. -Sheila Jeffreys"

Yes and I don't necessarily disagree with that quote. I got an invite code but honestly the format isn't the best I prefer here and reddit. I like being able to talk to people outside that pool of like minded thinkers.

I do check articles from there frequently and I don't feel I am missing much by simply lurking for now. You kind of proved my point by coming here in that tone. Really makes me want to come visit you over there, amiright?

So you easily got a code and yet.. "Too many hurdles"... Ok.

You go to a specific forum and not expect a specific POV? Then criticize said site for having their specific POV? It's not them that's problematic, but you. If it's not your cup of tea, it's fine, but don't make it out like they're being unreasonable and irrational in how they do things-especially after you say you agree with the quote about the effort needed to make and maintain a space as your own.

Visit me? Like I mentioned to a different comment, I'm not even on it yet. I will after I tire of twitter. I very much appreciate the creation of Ovarit, I appreciate that team's bts work, that's why I put effort to reply to this post.

I'm not looking for a woman only space, just one where I can talk freely as a woman. I check out articles that get cross posted here but don't want to go log in because I don't fully agree I am just a gender critical woman tired of being silenced. You are on twitter, enough said. You are problematic because you keep explaining this to me like I'm an idiot. I just disagree with you. Yes a code is dumb to me. Die mad about it.

Ovarit isn't a women-only place. And it's not for any and all GC women (conservative women, female TRAs and libfems can be shades of gc too). It's not an anti-trans central, it's a rf site primarily. You got so many things wrong and here you are complaining lolll you won't be "silenced" if you're not being inappropriate.

As for the idiot comment, hey, didn't come from me, but well, quacking ducks and all...

[–]Greykittymomma 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

You used the quote about women having spaces of their own did you not? I never claimed to be anything but GC and that is why I migrated here after Reddit banned us all. Many people recommended Ovarit and I could never get into it so leave me alone why are you arguing over our opinions of online spaces? Go the fuck away.

[–]peregrine_throw 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

The space being women-centered and women-prioritizing, u/Greykittymomma. It would do you good to read up on the site before, you know, complaining about it.

I'm not arguing for you to go/stay on Ovarit. Who gives a shit. I'm pointing out your complaints are nonsensical, to put it mildly, and on you for not understanding what you wanted to access/complain about lol

Those women, especially the founder, are putting a lot into it building an alternative that no woman-hating entity (corp or person) can delete at whim-- be it financial, energy, time, doxxing risk, etc. the least women like you can do is say "ok but not for me since I'm not rf" and move on, instead of bitching about their efforts for nonsensical reasons. Enough men and tras already want to tear them down.

You like reddit and saidit better? No problem! Oh wait, yeah, reddit deleted the entire gc network... And cross your fingers and toes saidit won't down the road... Head on to twox for your "everyone" needs then and try to ignore the testosterone.

We are on Saidit talking freely about places we like to discuss GC views. Some people dont like Ovarit. The name alone makes me want to steer clear. I am expressing my opinion.

I am speaking generally about being silenced as a woman. No, I don't want a space just for people who think like me. I want to talk to people on Reddit still because talking to people with differing views is interesting to me. I am just tired of being censored on every platform.

I wanted to like Ovarit but it seems very much the same, if you don't bend over and think what they think they delete your stuff instead of letting people with brain cells think for themselves.

Saidit isn't perfect but until I ran into you I have found it more open and accepting. You keep coming back to tell me I'm wrong about venting my frustrations here. Maybe you should get over it. I think it is funny you have to make me feel bad for "bitching" yeah I will bitch about it, thank you.

[–]peregrine_throw 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I frankly don't care to make you "feel bad", I only care to point out that the basis of your opinion is nonsensical ("i am not rf but I will go to an rf board, then complain they're being rf!!1!") in case others, especially younger girls who want to explore women-centered feminism boards, come across your comment and skip looking into Ovarit.

You be careful, though, this very saidit sub is also accused of being a transphobic gc echo chamber by genderists. Lol

your complaints are nonsensical

She was recently banned (forced) off of another discussion site for not having beliefs APPROVED of TM by the moderators.

Legal beliefs, that were censored for religious reasons.

She wants a wider range of ideas in her forums, and doesn't like administrators deciding by fiat who is ALLOWED to have an opinion on a website. THat's why most of us even came to saiddit.

If you're okay with silencing women at the BEHEST of faceless administrators, then you're no better than the tims that got us silenced over on reddit.

If anything, YOU're a TOTAL hypocrite, and shouldn't call yourself a feminist.

no woman-hating entity (corp or person) can delete at whim--

Limiting the "acceptible" opinions DOESNT prevent mtfs trying to get it shut down.

Enough men and tras already want to tear them down.

And tearing her down for having other opinions makes you just the same as the radical mtfs.

And cross your fingers and toes saidit won't down the road...

Saidit has already banned people for being lawful and offending the administrator, and we could take back reddit if we tried.

Head on to twox for your "everyone" needs then and try to ignore the testosterone.

Limiting discussion on its successors is no better.

It's not an anti-trans central, it's a rf site primarily.

The irony. It can't be rad fem and also silencing women for speaking against men in their spaces.

This is what doublethink looks like, irl.

don't make it out like they're being unreasonable and irrational in how they do things-especially after you say you agree with the quote about the effort needed to make and maintain a space as your own.

The mtfs were justified in silencing women on reddit, they were just making their own space!!
