Antisexism
This community is about Antisexism, a joint movement of men, women and nonbinary people against gender stereotypes and all sorts of gender-based discrimination.
Here you can share useful materials (articles, research, statistics, opinions...) on gender-based discrimination against men, women, and nonbinary people, and participate in common discussions and activities.
Rules:
1. No promotion of patriarchy (or matriarchy)
Systems based on dominance of one gender harm everyone, including, often times, people in the dominant group. They are intrinsically sexist and therefore strictly forbidden in this community.
2. Be civil and listen before you speak
The issues of gender equality often come as contentious. Remember - there are no enemies here! The purpose of this place is to discuss and find solutions together.
3. Respect personal experiences
All of us have different history and issues regarding gender stereotypes. Every experience is valid! Don't try to belittle it.
4. Everyone is welcome!
Antisexism is about everyone: men, women and nonbinary, cis- and trans-people. Every group and every person individually have unique experiences that we need to address.

I feel like there's a very clear message here that people should be respected for who they are. Feminism as far as I know has two very separate major sects, but I also haven't studied it in a very long time. There's difference feminism which believes that there are intrinsic biological differences between the sexes, but that these differences do not equate to any being superior. Then there is equality feminism which focuses more on the fact that humans are a diverse range of individuals and that the best individual for any given task should be allowed to perform it.
I think a lot of feminism focuses on gender to be honest. Even difference feminist. I think a lot of that terfy stuff comes from that. But also all minorities tend to face adversities, and I think a lot of women feel that transwomen minimize their experience through existance? I don't know. I am not a terf. I can't really tell you, although I have mulled it over because some very intelligent people have a lot of anger towards transwomen (mostly, I said it before but I think a lot of people don't even think transmen exist or something).
Adding to the layers, non-binary people break their brains.
I think, as you can see over on the side - it looks like this place is for all folks and is trying to just create a safe space for people to explore and express themselves beyond their sex. Or as their sex. Just however they want. Feminism tends to be centered as a cis-ish woman-centric experience. This supersedes that.
Also if I offended anyone, apologies! Was just my take.
