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!".

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.)

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".

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.

I felt the same way about GC before it got banned regarding the TIM issue. Nowadays I DO see how this gender ideology gets shoved down our throats, and I see it as a threat.

I definitely felt as if a lot of the the reddit GC posts were also tone deaf to women who were impoverished/ single mothers, etc. Quite a few opinion-piece articles posted, for example, were written by women who were extremely wealthy and privileged to begin with. There was one woman who's articles kept being posted, for example, who lives in the most expensive part of NYC and works in a STEM job. Every time I saw her articles getting circulated, I rolled my eyes. Part of me sees this as a side effect of having an online community moderated by people in STEM, who often seem dismissive and nasty to those who are self-described poor and/or single mothers online. (This is also part of the reason I find technology infiltrating every aspect of our lives as problematic-- those who work in this industry tend to be wealthy and look down on people who don't earn as much as they do-- of course their tools would be biased in favor of the wealthy--> that's another topic all together.)

I also noticed (as of late) some really bizarre racist posts on Ovarit, which makes me wonder if there has been some major infiltration on that site. Most women who identify as feminist of any stripe are decidedly anti-racist. I'm sure gender activists have the time and inclination to do so, as they've already shown how talented they are for that kind of thing.

That's the whole point, to indoctrinate people, and to get to children in particular. Notice all the flagrant grooming subs that are moderated by t r a n s people who have well known connections to violent pedophiles. They literally GIVE information to minors on how to obtain estrogen, they post cartoons that push gender-extremism propaganda, they offer to "foster" children with gender "dysphoria". It's sinister.

My issue was having my threads deleted for being in the "wrong circles", when the "circles" themselves overlap heavily-- and when it's not even easy to pick which "circle" one "should" post a new thread on-- at least on mobile.

This particular article I posted in itself wasn't against the whole site's general belief system. I think that's what really sets me off. They're deleting entire threads that aren't totally irrelevant to the circles they're being posted to.

I posted an article about something related to China on the GC "circle". Posted it on mobile, wasn't sure which circle to use, knew that I had some of my threads deleted for being in the "wrong circle" before. Chose GC because I figured it would fit. There was also a post on there at one time about a twitter message China had put out that bragged about "re-educating" women in terms of "gender ideology", and I thought this seemed related to that.

I checked Ovarit to see what comments I had, there were many good ones, but I also realized my thread was deleted because "this belongs to XYZ circle instead!"

I post a comment on "circles" asking "why can't mods move a post?" or something to that effect. I've had some of my threads deleted before for being in the "wrong circle", but like I said before, so many of these "circles" overlap in terms of the topics they cover. It's not like "women" and "gender critical" and "women's liberation", etc., don't all sound similar or relevant to one another. I think once or twice I re-posted threads that were deleted by mods who told me I was posting to the "wrong circle". Once or twice I said, "screw this, I'm not going through the trouble of posting that again!". This time around, I got pissed.

One of the people who kept criticizing me in my post actually posted the SAME China-related article I did (in a different circle) on the SAME day my China thread was deleted!

One of the other posters who kept needling me was a mod on GC-- and was actually the same person who gave me the Ovarit invitation code in the first place!

I'm like "really"? It's like they don't want people starting threads or something. I could totally understand if it was a "duplicate" post, but that wasn't the reason I was given. It's like they just delete threads and use the "wrong circle" as an excuse for doing so.

LOL. That's crazy. If anything, I could see a warning, or a mod saying "we try not to encourage people posting their physical locations due to safety reasons" or something.. not a total BAN.

Just like with the posts of mine that were deleted. I could see a "this post might be better suited for (circle name here)" message from the mod, but I don't see why the post would be DELETED. Most people who use the site probably just use the "new posts" or "all" feed, I doubt most of the users narrow their viewed posts to one or two "circles".

I deleted my twitter. Seriously, they've been banning so many women, it's ridiculous.

I don't feel that Ovarit is as "dangerous" as Twitter or Reddit in terms of doxing/stalking/banning, however. The latter two platforms definitely have hardcore gender activists on staff.

Seriously, though, the attitude I encountered when I brought up my reasonable question on Ovarit makes made me lose interest in remaining on there. It didn't seem to be "regular posters" on there giving me grief, but actual mods.

I knew a woman who was totally burdened by her enormous breasts. This woman was thin, always had a stoop, and was in her 60s. I figured she had horrific osteoporosis.

Then she had a breast reduction, and her back was suddenly ramrod straight. She seemed so much happier and healthier without all that extra weight on her chest-- I think it took her forever to get it approved by insurance, and she worked for a hospital.

And yes, tons of women get billed like crazy for implants after cancer related mastectomies, which I think is bullshit.

You're probably right-- cliques would be a better term for them to use. To me, it would make better sense for them to use "flares" instead of "circles", and to avoid nuking threads unless they were obvious duplicates and/or outright offensive and against the site's general focus. More posts and threads = more engagement = more clicks. Why be so particular about who posts to what "circle" if most people probably view "all" when it comes to their feeds?

LOL. I actually posted my criticism to the "circles" circle, then realized AFTER the fact that there was a "suggestions" circle. I made a snark comment about "watch this thread get nuked because I didn't post it to "suggestions". THEN one of them scolds me for not putting it in "suggestions", asking me "so why didn't you use suggestions?" which I didn't know existed in the first place! Someone else tells me they will generously leave my comment up despite being in the "wrong circle"!

What the hell?

A year ago I would have been far more tolerant, but I'm just not having it anymore. If I smell a rat on a social media platform, or too much censorship for no justifiable reason, I jump ship. Nuked my Reddit account, nuked my Twitter account, now nuked my Ovarit account. I'd rather stick to Saidit for this particular topic.

I noticed the change around the first of the fiscal year-- around July 2020. Suddenly there was obvious political pandering to one side of the US political spectrum. As someone who was normally left wing, I thought this was highly suspicious... and I was really pissed off when I realized that anyone who disagreed with gender extremism was suddenly designated a "Neo nazi". Not long after that, all the other social media platforms when all-out in banning people for simply not being "woke" enough.

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.

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.

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.

I keep thinking there is much more to this Reddit bullshit than people are recognizing. I was reading a thread on Ru qq us from a techy engineer type who is speculating that Reddit has some capabilities that are beyond what is typical for a social media platform in terms of weeding individuals out for "wrong think". He said he tried to circumvent a ban (he was banned for something really benign) and he couldn't figure out how Reddit kept identifying him and prevented him from making a new account. I am really terrified that somehow the Reddit pogroms are going to mimic what our US government is planning to do to us online to some extent-- as if they're going to blanket ban anyone who falls outside the extreme Woke spectrum... and that any one of us who questions gender extremism will be deemed "Neo-nazi d o m e s t I c t e r r o r is t s" and either be persecuted, prosecuted, permanently banned, or just have all of our platforms cancelled/destroyed. I'm worried someone high up in Reddit now has massive political power-- as obviously TECH helped many people win this past election, and Reddit itself flagrantly pushed certain parties/politicians over others. Tech and their misogynistic woke bros have bought our government (no, I'm not a right winger).

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.

What is to come of future with this moral decline? by PencilPusher55 in AskSaidIt

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.

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.

It's so obvious that the whole gender extremism ideology will create MORE barriers for women (and men) of color in terms of scholarships, educational and employment opportunities-- it will make TIMs who are white, born male and likely already privileged go ahead of them in terms of consideration when it comes to affirmative action. I'm a white person, and I recognize this as huge potential problem.

The gender extremists/CRT attacks on religion are also dubious, as many missionary groups help fund and support immigrants from countries including Africa and South America to the US. They don't always advertise that they do this, but they definitely do.

Consider how many minority children will be brainwashed by this cult, rendering them sterile for life. Gender ideology will become a form of eugenics in itself.

I recall one twitter comment by a black man stating "emasculation is something that happens to men in prison". He was relentlessly attacked by TIMs of course, but he was right. Emasculation in the form of castration and sexual slavery has historically been something that happens to men and boys who are conquered by other nations-- look up Köçek boys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Köçek. Hopefully more men wake up and realize that their sons are being brainwashed into castrating themselves.

I've also read in many places that many of the corporate interests that are pushing CRT and gender extremism are also eyeing up colonizing Africa and South America under the guise of "environmentalism". They see a potential payday in exploiting the natural resources of nations they deem "underdeveloped" and their whole guise of pretending to care about racism is just a ruse to win over people. I think I read about it on wrongkindofgreen.org.

I thought there was something really "off" when the "against hate" subreddit started banning conservative accounts left and right, meanwhile the admins for AHS were active on "vote blue" and "act blue" and BLM/antifa subreddits. At that time, I did not consider myself a conservative, yet I was really suspicious about this. This just confirms my suspicions even more-- the manipulation of social media was totally an inside job.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Well, honestly, even with the conspiracy theories surrounding environmentalism-- they make sense. Corporate interests don't push ideologies that won't ultimately enrich them. Corporate interests won't pour funds into education campaigns in 3rd world countries unless they see a potential profit for themselves down the line-- in terms of cheaper employees, for example. Corporate interests will create flowery-sounding campaigns filled with positive woke lingo to hide the fact they want to find any way to slash wages that they possibly can.

Tons of these tech companies and wealthy STEMlord billionaires, for example, have pages where they talk about how they want to "promote women in STEM, promote women's economic opportunities", meanwhile, these same companies are funding the TRA agenda HARD along with the pro-sex-work ideology, transitioning children/eradicating mother's rights ideology, pro-men's-sex-rights ideology. What they say and what they mean are two completely different things. There was once a time where philanthropists poured money into their pet projects "just because", but I don't feel that's the case anymore. Profit is always the motive.

What's bizarre is that one could argue that race is a "spectrum", at least on the DNA level. Even then, with race and experiencing racism, one's culture/appearance overrides wherever you technically fall on that "spectrum".

I'm not totally shocked, though. "Sanctity of the human body" was always considered a big issue for Christians at large, and many old hospitals were started by clergy/religious organizations in some form or another.

Sometimes I wonder if this is the modern version of what "psychiatric treatment" was a decade or so ago. People 10-20 years ago would drag their adolescent kids to the shrinks, drug them up beyond recognition, because they didn't like how they behaved. Unhappy people would also seek psychiatric meds hoping they would cure their emotional problems. Now "transitioning" has replaced what used to be psychiatric treatment.
