OVARIT SUCKS

akkordeonplayer · 2021-02-06T15:39:44+00:00

It's just crazy. It's like they DELETE whole threads that aren't even offensive and/or totally off topic... and then get all pissy if you question "why".

I guess this is why people accuse them of obsessing over "ideological purity".

It's like... you bake a cake and place it on the dining room table for them and everyone else to enjoy. They come along and proclaim, "This cake belongs in the refrigerator or the kitchen counter, not on this dining room table", so they toss the cake in the TRASH. Then they say, "We tossed this cake because it was placed in the wrong spot. You can't move this cake. You will have to bake a new one if you want it, and place it where we tell you to. It might still get tossed again, however!".

No. A transhumanist lobby funded by tech billionaires pushed this, not women.

Elon Musk had IVF on purpose to avoid having female children.

That in itself keeps me from ever wanting to date again.

akkordeonplayer · 2021-02-07T05:24:14+00:00

Which is fine, but many topics still overlap, which is why it's bizarre to nuke entire threads unless they're completely 100% off topic... like posting cat pictures in a "dog meme only" circle.

akkordeonplayer · 2021-02-06T17:37:23+00:00

I'm not "crying like a baby"-- Give me a break about posting things "properly". Just look at their "circles" and explain to me why the majority of them don't sound like they could totally overlap in terms of topics.

I delete shit, call it out, move on. I'm not the first person to see this happen on their site. Other people had asked the same question when I searched the same issue. It's ridiculous, and doesn't help their cause or attract posters. The whole reason the site exists is because of bizarre censorship rules on reddit, you'd think they'd be more lax about rigid "subs" in order to increase traffic, clicks, or to welcome posters. You'd think they'd accept criticism without attacking the person making their point.

It would make more sense to reply to the poster, "next time you post about this kind of topic, please use XYZ circle instead" instead of deleting the whole thing.

So what if many websites don't have the code structure to move posts? Is every poster going to be a programmer who realizes this? NO.

Many old school forums DO move posts and threads to "appropriate" subs.

akkordeonplayer · 2021-02-06T17:10:47+00:00

I want insurance to cover a facelift for me, because I have "age dysphoria".

I also want insurance to cover iris laser lightening treatment, because my dark eyes give me "eye dysphoria".

I want insurance to cover my hair keratin treatments, because my kinky Irish hair gives me "hair texture dysphoria".

akkordeonplayer · 2021-02-06T17:00:29+00:00

The way in which they kept implying that I was dumb, incapable of following rules, or that I shouldn't expect any better from them "because reddit does the same thing", was infuriating... and one of the people needling me was the same person who sent me the invite code in the first place!!!

If the truth was "we don't have the capability to move posts to another circle yet", that would've been acceptable-- instead I was attacked.

Then I see one of the other major posters who kept arguing with me was both a STEMlord in her own right, and reposted the SAME article that I had posted (which was deleted, had 37 comments and tons of upvotes)... it's like there's this weird gatekeeping/censorship by wealthy women/women in programming and other high paying jobs or something. I can't really put my finger on it. This is probably part of what many women of color complain about when it comes to GC being unfriendly to them. Perhaps there is an income/education/youth related bias among them or something? Their recognition of the issues the majority of women face-- which is low income, parental burdens, etc., seems to fly over their heads. I remember being turned off by the focus on TIMs back in the old reddit GC because as a low-income woman, I rarely ever encountered them in the first place. To me I felt "this must be an issue wealthier women in better paying jobs must face, or much younger women face, because I never see TIMs in my line of work-- it must be young women in college or women in high paying jobs who have to deal with them!" If anything, I was more focused on the economic discrimination and sexual exploitation of women, pornography, etc. when it came to the old reddit sub. Seeing GC get banned and realizing how many gender extremists were in admin roles on reddit is what made me "peak".

Censorship is off the charts right now when it comes to women's issues. Your average everyday woman, earning piss poor wages, overburdened by domestic drudgery, doesn't have the time or inclination to READ tons of GC books or to read the specific micromanaging rules for every single "ovarit circle" before posting a damn post. I'm certain women who join Ovarit are getting turned off to the site by having their threads deleted for ridiculous reasons. Seriously, most of us are tired of being censored on platforms.

There was another poster who claimed she felt compelled to delete her parenting related post because she inquired about how she should raise her son-- apparently she was attacked by other posters? Someone else was branded a racist for questioning a meme? What is going on?

Again, here we see your "average" woman-- probably low income, a parent, not deeply well versed in "gender critical" ideology, being attacked for a question. How do they expect to attract people if they expect such purity? Not everyone is a single, STEMming, wealthy woman with a masters degree... many of us have "made mistakes", don't have the time for endless deep reading on politics, or have become parents of sons.

It doesn't feel like this is "the time" for micromanaging gatekeeping when it comes to social media platforms dedicated to women's rights (and bucking the gender ideology trend which directly targets children!!!). We need all the help we can get from all types of women... do they not realize this?

(Obviously, deleting troll comments that are meant to provoke people or make the whole site look bad makes sense, but this isn't what I'm referring to.)

akkordeonplayer · 2021-02-06T16:01:21+00:00

The thought occurred to me that people in STEM might have this superiority complex in general, including women. It's a shame that they're shooting themselves in the foot. You won't attract normal "dumb" low wage women like me when you act holier-than-thou and accuse other women of being "stupid".

akkordeonplayer · 2021-01-25T04:01:42+00:00

I think a large problem for this country (and yes, I can call myself a hypocrite here) has to do with digital/media addiction. I'm more of the forum-addict here, and I prefer conversations online vs in person. It leads to a depersonalization of others which is probably poisonous to humans in terms of human behavior/relationships.

I'm thinking in the biggest culprits include social media, gaming and porn. Example... People are now addicted to 24/7 internet porn where they weren't 20 years ago. Nobody wants to admit to this, but it changes people's personalities/desires/impulses and takes up a lot of their "mental space", impacts how they view other people and relationships, how they view sexual consent laws.

There was a time I wanted to have a long term relationship with a guy, but he became OBSESSED with internet porn to the point where I couldn't stand to be with him any longer. There is only so much physical sexual violence and coersion one can take before one has to check out. We're talking hours and hours in his "den" while life still went on. Felt like I was single (and yes, I take care of my body, so it wasn't an issue that I stopped taking care of myself). If I confronted him about it, he refused to listen to me, like a knee-jerk addict. This is a super common pattern among women I've talked to... the men go down this porn/dating app rabbit hole, become completely disinterested in terms of being responsible partners/fathers, refuse to acknowledge any issues. These are often women who include conservative "obedient" types who adhere to religious beliefs. Nothing they could do or try swayed their partner away from their addiction. If you're with a man like this, you're better off single.

Give a man like this religion, he still won't dump the porn addiction, because most churches will tell them "it's not your fault". Men aren't expected to adhere to sexual morality even in most major abrahamic religions, but women are. With internet porn/dating apps, infidelity along with the associated STDs/unplanned extra marital pregnancies are now epidemic or even "normalized". There's no reason for a woman, even if she wants the traditional family, to start a relationship as she has no idea what kind of nightmare she's in for. Herpes, aids are forever, anal prolapse is dangerous, and no one wants to be choked to death by "surprise" while having sex.

My ex was raised hardcore Catholic, but he wasn't immune to the sexual degeneracy. And now, I see how lucky I was, because at least HE didn't decide to t r 0 0 n out, which is becoming more and more popular and pushed by mass media/tech.

I can see a lot of women get totally consumed by social media, and some dive into internet shopping addiction, some get addicted to porn and dating apps, so I'm not claiming it's only a one way street. Children are also addicted, and exposed to a shit ton of propaganda that no one seems to be stopping.

akkordeonplayer · 2021-01-25T03:43:54+00:00

Yes. There are still women who are going berserk on twitter claiming Biden was still a better option. It's like the stages of mourning are going on, and they're still in denial.

I think it’s almost religious— but I think this is a consequence of tech moguls realizing that the conservative Christians would NEVER support transhumanism and it’s goals. They used conservatives politically in order to gain more corporate rights— and they then discarded those conservatives when the “time was right”, and decided to put all their money behind liberal causes (which obeyed them/ allowed themselves to be bought by tech money).

I also think information garnered will be used to create robots to replace women engaged in “women’s work”. Women will be forced to wear devices to record their “domestic duties” in order to get payment. This data will be used to create robotic versions of ourselves. Just note at how our online activity has been data-mined and harvested by tech, they will do this to our bodies as well.

"You must submit posts to circles with vaguely differing names, and make sure you get the exact circle right or people who are much much smarter than you will nuke your thread!"

akkordeonplayer · 2021-02-08T21:25:24+00:00

This isn't the case where someone is posting cat memes to a dog sub, though. Most people know what a cat is, or what a dog is.
Most women aren't well versed in feminism, feminist theories, and even the general definitions of terms are debatable among self proclaimed "experts". Many women grew up thinking "feminism" itself was a dirty word.

Deleting threads because they "would be better placed over there" puts posters off, annoys readers who enjoy a thread then see it nuked, and doesn't really help the overall aim of the site. "Oh great, these people who run the site think they're smarter than everyone else... No wonder people hate feminists! I'll pass on this!"

This is assuming the thread isn't violating regular site standards of not advocating violence, of course, or that it isn't literally a cat picture in a dog meme circle.

akkordeonplayer · 2021-02-08T21:18:10+00:00

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.

I work with 2 young gay men-- both are really smart and reasonably attractive. One of them walks around with a JKR themed flask, LOL. I think these guys are literally having issues dating as of late because so many young people are adopting the "queer" label, give them fake signs of interest, then flake out on having actually dating. Can't really imagine how difficult it must be to be gay or lesbian and young, since it's as if so many people are "posing" when they're really just straight. What's also sad is that some of the gay and lesbian people who encounter this phenomenon are probably just blaming themselves for their lack of luck.

akkordeonplayer · 2021-02-08T17:30:40+00:00

I imagine some of the men who are fighting gender ideology might find any association with "feminism" or self-proclaimed feminists as problematic in terms of their strategy. People like Chris might not get the monetary donations from anti-gender-ideology techie dude bros and other rich men if they see some kind of "feminism" behind the resistance. Some people will literally shut their ears off if they smell a whiff of "feminism" when it comes to arguing against gender extremism, which might be part of the reason people aren't listening to arguments against it in general. If that was the reason he was culling his twitter feed, I wish he had done it in a different way.

akkordeonplayer · 2021-02-08T17:26:53+00:00

No mainstream media is reliable anymore... no, seriously. They will publish whatever people pay them to, literally.

I was reading an article the other day that talked about how magazines, such as Rolling Stone, are literally allowing people to publish pieces in their magazines for a high fee. The justification is that many publishers have lost a ton of money over the years, which I believe. I remember when nearly everyone had some kind of paid magazine or newspaper subscription, and nowadays either people can't afford them or have no interest in having them. This pay-to-publish explained a large part of what I've been noticing in mainstream magazines/news publications as of late-- they're totally pushing the corporate transhumanist line.

akkordeonplayer · 2021-02-08T17:23:58+00:00

I noticed this before I left reddit, too. They're definitely pushing gender ideology on vulnerable posters. I'm sure many teenagers and pre-teens click on those "suggestions" and wind up down bizarre gender bender ideology rabbit holes.

I noticed some of these results on duck duck go, which is really bizarre. I know about cookies... I figure search results also have to do with geographic location. I'm in the US, too.

I agree with you on how the only stories concerning domestic violence are only extremely local. National news media seems to have no desire to cover stories like this, which I find ominous.

Thanks for the information about bulbs.

I've noticed that the bulbs in my enclosed fixture ceiling fans have been going out really quickly, and they're tricky to change as I'm short and they're high on the ceiling. There's like three bulbs within the fixtures themselves, so I'd rather not have to change them constantly. As it turns out, I was using the wrong kinds of bulbs. Some styles are "too hot" for fixtures, so they go out more quickly. At the same time, light bulbs aren't as cheap as they used to be, so I agonize more over the cost than I would have in the past.

Off topic-- I just realized a lamp I've been using (which I wound up with after my father died) has 5+ year old CFL light bulbs. Before my father died, he went into this weird kick where he was obsessed with getting the "best light bulbs". Realized after the fact he was going BLIND.

People really don't think women are underdogs anymore...

I think there have been coordinated efforts from multiple sides to push this narrative that women are "privileged" compared to men-- it's been going on for decades. Consider how Rush Limbaugh's term "feminazis" has become mainstream.

THANK YOU. The article which I posted I was also eager to post-- because it's not uncommon for certain types of articles to be "rescinded" as soon as they're published as of late. Normally I dislike posting things via mobile, but it was the end of a 12 hour overnight shift at a medical facility when I saw it. I had literally just punched out of work, hopped on the elevator, looked at the news on my phone-- and wanted to share the article immediately.

Inability to "see" circles on mobile also stinks for women who don't have desktop access due to income reasons, privacy reasons, etc..

Moreover, again in my view and only in my view, the way ovarit is set up discourages - even prohibits - thinking and posting in a "big picture" way that seeks to find and explore connections between phenomena that might appear to be separate at first glance when looked at superficially but which are actually linked. I've always been a big picture kind of thinker attuned to how multiple elements and forces shape our lives, and I've always been very interested in history and understanding how the complex forces shaping us in the now came to be - and how we're all products of the past as much as the present.

This is a great way of putting it. The thread I created (that was deleted) was an article could have been linked to GC in that this same political entity that is torturing a particular minority group of women was Tweeting about how they were "re-educating" those same women in terms of their "gender ideology" just a few weeks prior. The manner of which these same people are torturing these women also echos what trans extremists fantasize about doing to "terfs". It's not as if the article was completely unrelated to gender extremism.

It doesn't take a big leap in imagination to wonder and fear that there might be a link between removing posts "for being in the wrong category" and removing them coz they contain "wrong think" and might have been made persons of "the wrong sort."

THIS also, particularly at this moment in time- women are being censored for the most minor "infractions" on various platforms. Deleting entire threads for being slightly off topic seems self-defeating when one reflects on what the larger end goal of the entire website/platform is. Is the end goal to place information in perfectly contained bubbles, or is it meant to educate women about what's going on in the world, and to give them a voice and a means for sharing information?

OK, thanks. It's good to know I'm not "crazy" or alone in this assessment, if you get what I mean.

akkordeonplayer · 2021-02-07T19:35:20+00:00

Yes, they have an agenda. They're also actively grooming minors into gender theory as well.

.. and some of those topics overlap by a huge margin. If it's that big of a deal to get threads in the "right circle", but comments in a moderation queue and sort them out into the "right circles".

I nuked my account anyway, particularly after getting some sh-tty feedback from mods. Lose threads, insightful comments and followers.

Another platform, another group of censors. Just like any other day for a woman posting online in 2021.

He was going off on weird rants and banning any women who claimed to be "feminists". It was really weird. This was back in October, I think.

akkordeonplayer · 2021-02-07T01:49:56+00:00

She's not wrong. There are a lot of men who are addicted to internet porn, and think normal relationships include the female partner allowing herself to be subjected to sexual torture 24/7.

It could have been sarcasm, but wasn't marked as such-- one could easily say it could be used as an "example" to "justify" smearing the whole site.

akkordeonplayer · 2021-02-07T01:37:40+00:00

Most of the categories overlap... and I know one poster mentioned in the thread I had started that her post on "women" was moved for being in the "wrong circle"--- this was after someone told her it was the "miscellaneous" circle.

It's ridiculous to have to ask permission from every mod in every possible circle to inquire as to which "circle" your post is allowed to be in. I think my post could have been applicable to GC, as the tactics used on the women mentioned are almost identical to some of the "scenarios" the gender extremists love to dream up about what they want to do to "terfs".

I wasn't a "new" poster, either. Many women, I'm sure, just move on to different sites and/or don't bother posting anything new after getting their threads deleted.

akkordeonplayer · 2021-02-07T01:29:50+00:00

Meh, I think the "boredom" increase was due to kids. And there's no point in googling a lot of topics as of late, since you either get biased results, and/or nothing you search on their platform is "private".

akkordeonplayer · 2021-02-06T22:06:34+00:00

Yes— that would be a better option to give users, one would think, than to delete an entire thread.

akkordeonplayer · 2021-02-06T20:39:23+00:00

Yes. I remember going to my son's kindergarten orientation years ago, and noticing that the majority of the class was mixed-race. It's very common nowadays in many parts of the country, so much that no one takes a second glance. Granted, we lived close to the first US city to legalize interracial marriage.

I also remember the 23andme sub on reddit, and nearly everyone was "mixed race" to some extent regardless of what they looked like.

Even within a "race" of people, there is always a huge spectrum in terms of appearance... I have blond/blue eyed and brown haired/brown eyed in my immediate family. Both of my parents had light eyes, too, hazel green and hazel blue... which kind of defies the whole dominant/recessive gene thing. My brother with dark eyes/dark hair, married to a woman with similar coloring (her hair is almost black, her eyes as well), and they have one kid who's blond/blue eyed, the other is brown/brown.

I don't know how CRT "folx" deal with that kind of phenomenon. Unless completely fracturing families is part of their goal.

I saw something like "black women aren't really women" or something like that, which freaked me out.

I wasn't sure if it was meant in sarcasm, but I reported it regardless-- that's the kind of post that could be used to "justify" calling Ovarit a "hate site".

I DO think there is some truth to arguing that the whole "Karen" meme is a way of discrediting all feminism via some form of "anti-white racism"... a way to discourage minority women from embracing women's rights.... or as a way to cast all white women as "always wealthy and always extremely racist", which isn't the case... OR to make the insinuation that women who argue on behalf of women's rights are ALSO "always racist, too".

The classism thing I can definitely relate to-- women who are married comfortably or have high paying jobs tend to be more classist than those who are single. It's like they're incapable of realizing how difficult it is to be single, borderline poverty or impoverished, with children. For that reason, I am often extremely reluctant to bring up my personal life at work, because I know that can and will be used against me... What used to make me really cringe (particularly at work) was when I'd hear these same comfortably married women complain about certain groups of people "being on welfare", etc., when I knew their own grandkids, kids or husbands were on SSDI. It was like, "seriously?". Where I work now I don't hear as much of this stuff, thankfully. Now bring up being single/with kids/poor online and you DEFINITELY get slammed, no matter where you go.

Yes, I do remember the gc_woc subreddit existing. I remember one post on regular GC where the article posted discussed a black woman going to college, getting a job in social work, and being paid a low wage-- and remembered reading all the ridiculous comments about "she should've thought of XYZ before having children.. she should have picked STEM" and that kind of thing. I was like "what the f---"? So, yes, I wasn't shocked when the new sub was created.

akkordeonplayer · 2021-02-06T20:11:24+00:00

I know, didn't Pat Robertson come out in support of this? It's insane. Then again, there is a subset of US Christianity that was always big on beauty pageant culture, which also coincided with accepting plastic surgery as a "way of life". I remember back when JonBenet Ramsey was murdered (a child who happened to be a beauty pageant contestant), there was a sudden interest in beauty pageant subculture. I remember surfing on some web boards that discussed them-- and I was shocked when I realized how many parents literally bought breast implants for their teenaged daughters so they could be "competitive" in the pageant circuit. The children who competed often had their hair dyed, wore fake teeth, wore colored eye contacts, had spray-on tans, etc.. which also shocked me. This was back in the 90s so I can only imagine it's worse now.
