    But like what even is a social media for women? I wasn’t aware the ones we currently have were for men

      reddit has /r/TwoXChromosomes which is one of my favorite subs. It’s a general womens subreddit, and though it obviously leans feminist it’s not its main purpose. It welcomes all genders, but remains a womens space.

      The fediverse could really use that energy.

        I wondered if they made the jump over here. Guess not, sadly. Reading that sub has made me a better man, because it offers some pretty harsh critiques of male behavior.

        We used to have an equivalent on our instance, but it was constantly flooded with reply-bros and trans people complaining about the name, so we archived it as no women was willing to moderate it (for understandable reasons).

        Yeah but thats a subreddit not REDDIT itself, you can similarly start a /c/TwoX on just about any Lemmy instance.

        There’s also /r/WitchesVsPatriarchy which is also very strictly woman-centered.

          Damn women appropriating witchdom. Excluding boywitches just reaffirms the patriarchy’s gendering of magic. It’s re-inventing the same gender roles.

            I’m sorry, what?

            It’s women-centered because it’s “against patriarchy”… not because it’s witchy. And they are trans & queer inclusive as well.

              I think it would be even more against patriarchy if it was enby centered. They should change that.
