What are your red flags? Of any kind:

  • Romantic
  • Sexual
  • Interpersonal
  • Social
  • Business/Employment
  • ... and a list of thousands more

I'm kind of curious.

I actually forgot a big one, and it will likely be contentious.

Interpersonal/Romantic/Sexual

  • men who call themselves "feminist",

I've seen enough self-proclained "feminist" men who clearly only use the language and the public persona to get laid that this is an automatic red flag for me that makes me dig deeper. If they proclaim their "feminism" completely out of the blue/out of context that red flag turns into a four-alarm fire.

Some prominent examples of what I mean from the public sphere:

  • Joss Whedon
  • Gareth Ward
  • Harvey Weinstein (yes, he publicly proclaimed support for feminism!)
  • John Lasseter
  • Juno Diaz
  • Bill Cosby
  • Charlie Rose

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
