Got into a fight with someone here about Ovarit and it makes me not want to go back. There is a reason many working class women don't identify with hardcore feminists, they can be some of the worst gatekeepers ever. I thought the point was letting women be free but oh NO! For many of them you need to act or speak in the ways that seem empowering to them or you aren't worthy.

I have a degree too but I'm still poor and came from nothing. Quit policing my body and language. Let me rage and bitch about my pathetic little life to anyone who will listen!

Yes... most women aren't well versed in all the minute details of radical feminism and associated theories. Being extremely particular about where people post threads seems to be self-defeating when one considers the goal/aim of the website. I guarantee you women have just walked away after seeing that their threads get deleted. Considering how busy many women are, it's a miracle they are able to take the time out to post at all.

Even if there are different mods for different subs, one would imagine those on Ovarit have similar goals in mind in terms of benefitting women overall. If I were a mod, for example, on a sub that was dedicated to politics, and someone posted a useful health article by accident-- I'd probably leave it up if I couldn't move it to a better suited circle. I might tell the OP "you might want to post this to the health circle", but I wouldn't nuke the whole thread unless it grossly violated the rules of the whole site. Someone might appreciate that misplaced health article, and find something extremely useful within it, so why take it down?

Yes... I think the response I received to my question was the most off putting of all.
