worldfeminism - Profile (original) (raw)

on 9 April 2007 (#12684558)

A feminist community with a focus on global events, created in response to a need for a feminist community not primarily focused on events and practices in the USA. Posting on anything you think would be of interest to feminists is welcome, including, but not limited to discriminatory practices against women and/or racial, ethnic or religious groups, people with disabilities; sexuality related discrimination; transgender related discrimination; class or poverty issues; government policies around the world addressing or not addressing any of these.

Membership is moderated but feminists throughout the world are welcome to join.

Some rules:

- No name calling;
- Attack the argument, not the person;
- No running down other communities;
- Sh*t stirring and LJ dramas don't belong here;
- Put large images/videos etc behind a cut;
- Warn for potentially disturbing content in links and behind cuts;

Please remember, that although everyone is free to express their opinion here, this is a feminist community and therefore misogyny, sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, religious intolerance, classism and other attitudes which seek to exclude people on the basis of their immutable characteristics will will not be tolerated;

It would be helpful if new members would complete this poll so we have some idea of whereabouts most of our members are: http://www.livejournal.com/poll/?id=973920
