women's only community please only comment if you identify as female or non binary

Far more adult women are murdered by adult men than vice versa. Women are high risk for violence and sexual abuse. We often face bullying at work.

What would help women's safety?

The main tools we need to focus on is education and community. Isolating women and children is the way predators and murderers get away with abuse.

If you have friends or family members, that are becoming distant with a new partner, keep in touch. If parents are isolating and indoctrinating their kids, be there - stay in touch even if you hate the parents politics and let them know there are other options in life.

Share your experiences with bad men even if it’s awful, because the darkness never disappears if you don’t shine a light on it.

Don’t let propaganda or men divide us. A group of angry women is a powerful thing.

Family to keep in touch.

A safeguard I didnt have when I was involved in a dv relationship.

Unfortunately, women who are raised in abusive household have such a higher rate of finding themselves in abusive relationships.

It's one of the main points of Borderline personality disorder. You grow accustomed to the shitty childhood. The chaos feels normal because you know no different. Your ideas of what a healthy relationship looks like are skewed/non existent. So shocker, you easily ignore red flags with these men, and unconsciously seek the same chaos you grew up in.

Thus the cycle repeats.

If I could have had parents I could move back home to in my early 20s, having parents willing to stick up for me, my dv relationship would have been four months (this first time i tried to leave him) instead of three years. Support your kids man.

Stong community absolutely is a benefit to all people in all ways.

Isolation is an excellent point, people are always safer in a group of good people. We can keep an eye on each other, and pull back in people that are drifting out. Community groups can be good for that as well.

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. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
  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 [email protected] for that, but here is an escape from it.
