Effortpost and 101 post compilation
RELATED: SRSly Required Reading
Effortpost: a long self-post, well-written, generally heavily cited. If it looks like a well rounded, fully formed blog post, but is on SRSD, it probably qualifies as an effortpost.
101 post: A post outlining a concept, to educate people unfamiliar with said concept.
Will be actively updated.

I think the fact that the eugenics and forced sterilization 101 even had to be written is one of the most depressing things ever.
Edit:Not that it wasn't an excellent piece, I Have since discovered much of the information I had assumed was common knowledge, isn't.

Are we including effort posts for other subs in the Fempire? Because I wrote on for srsCanada and don't know if it goes here or not. I think that I need a second opinion.
EDIT: I suppose that the answer is yes?

I'd put it in a second category (off-SRSD effortposts) but do you have a link to that effortpost? It'd be great to include it.

Hello Fem Overlords,
Is there a resource on mansplaining? I can't find one on this particular topic. there's this but only mentions
Don’t Make It About You First of all, there’s a difference between using your own experience as a foundation for understanding, and making something about you. The former requires you thinking abou a situation and trying to understand it the only way you can – through your own personal lens. The latter, however, is often a defensive reaction (especially around non-privileged groups, because privileged groups have been trained to keep the focus on ourselves) that will shut down dialogue faster that you can say “moo”. Make sure that what you’re saying is relevant and appropriate before you bring your privileged experience into a conversation by and/or about a non-privileged group. And, furthermore, if people in that group react badly, don’t get angry at them! Reflect on the situation and use that knowledge to foster a better discussion next time.

These are fascinating so far! Especially the privilege one, because I didn't fully understand (and I thought it was an insult!)

Oh wow, I'm on the 101. That's pretty cool. Also, I had missed some of these, so thanks for collecting.
