That link doesn't work. Also, What's the problem with a women only community? I just won't go there, no big deal.

yeah the post was taken down, apparently

i'm playing devil's advocate and asking what is the difference between a community that is women-only and one that is white-only. aren't both discrimination? and if people can just declare a community for themselves, can't they both do so?

i.e., where is the "law is blind" principle in this?

Edit: JUST TO BE CLEAR, i'm not advocating for white-only communities or anything like it. i'd merely like to understand what arguments one might bring up to counter it?

I think both women only communities and whites only communities are okay, so long as they're not bothering anyone else what's the stress? I wouldn't go to a women only community because I'm not one and I wouldn't go to a whites only community because it sounds fucking horrible. But if they're not harming anyone I don't see the problem

Edit Ah yeah sorry you were doing the devil's advocate thing anyway. I should go to bed! G'night

fwiw, whites-only communities are illegal in my country :canada: (true for any race actually). I don't know if there is a law against women-only communities.

Boycott US

1392 readers
256 users here now

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
