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…
- 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.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

There's a small problem with the "pornography use" framing.
Which pornography?
My SO and I use pornography. But it's specifically "couples porn" most times, not the hyper-degrading stuff that seems to be most popular these days. There's a lot of room for nuance in the pornography discussion. There's a world of difference between Japanese rape porn (and yes, I'm calling it out that specifically!), American degradation porn (and yes, again I'm calling it out that specifically!), and so on down a spectrum that leads to couples-oriented porn.
My read here is that the study backs you up on that, since it suggests the misogynistic attitudes are driving so much of the extremism, but the survey didn't get more granular than frequency of use. What I'd love to know is if certain categories of pornography overlap with advertising for the manosphere, since the picture coming into focus here is one of overlapping, rather unpleasant content soup.
