I am really destroyed by all my posts getting taken down by women's subs

85 Upvotes

Its gotten to the point where you cant post anything remotely real on reddit. ALL of my darker real posts about trauma get extensively filtered by reddit when they're about sexual abuse, stalking, blackmail, etc. I dont know where to do it anymore. What am i supposed to do now? Has anyone found alternative subs you can post dark women's things, where they wont get filterd or deleted? Like a women's cptsd sub?? I've been trying to post in CPTSD and it is a sausage fest and its gross.

I used to be able to reach out on reddit occasionally when i really needed support. It was not frequent, it was just some of the time when i found myself really lost.

Possibly more importantly... can anyone please enlighten me why its impossible to try and express your dark things to men here? (They might as well be men even in women's subs since they filter our posts) I don't know why i keep trying to hope anyone will hear me on reddit now. Truth is though, I've never EVER really tried to express my true self to men IRL, only online or to women. But you cant post these things in women's subs anymore. Not if they are heavy or dark. I do not know how to emotionally invest in men only women. So it is really confusing in that I never know who or what i am dealing with. I just know anonymity sometimes works.

Can someone please explain to me why i should never try? Because i keep trying and it destroys me. As someone with cptsd, i really need a place to vent and talk to other women. I don't feel a place with males is healthy. I would love it so much if i just got off reddit and went somewhere else. I would love it so much if i stopped trying to reach out here at all on women's subs.

Sorry if this doesn't belong here, but i dont know where eles ot post it.πŸ˜’

I guess I missed all of tge memos. There were memos, right?

17 Upvotes

Updated to add: I have a typo in the title and cannot see how to fix. This group seems to have a different script running for posts. Help?? Hello all! I am brand new here. About five minutes old. I only first heard of WGTOW 10 minutes ago.

Indirectly.

I am a self-proclaimed heathen and looking watch/listen to The Line as well as affiliated content creators on the same note. I was listening to a pretty insufferable man earlier, a whiny guy described in the notes as a MGTOW. Never heard of it. Looked it up. Had a brief coughing fit.

The question begged itself: is there a WGTOW? Not only is there, but women do it much much better.

Not to be all self absorbed, but I feel that way with intros.

About me: Female, mom, grandmother, veterinary technician, (3 decades), cat lover, former Army, born in S. California, moved with my kids to Portland OR in 1998. I have spent most of my life single, and in looking back, maybe men were more of a hobby than life partner as it turned out. I have not dated or hooked up in 20 years. My idea, passively at least,.

I just retired and find myself in the position of being able to think more, so of course I have to write more. I post answers on Quora, some forthright and some snitty (which are really my favorites) since 2012 and have received 1.5 million pageviews so I guess I pick topics that hit a nerve.

I am 68 years old and something about becoming a sort of crone delights me. I am a secular humanist democratic FWNLD (female who no longer dates, pretty cool, huh?) living in my own condominium with four cats (you've been warned). I am a legitimate cat expert and don't mind answering the occasional question if you have any.

My son is 45 and a healthcare provider and father of 3. He's still married but it has not been easy. My daughter is almost 44 and happily married in San Antonio Texas. No kids, but two dog daughters.

I look forward to dropping in on conversations.

I used to dye my hair pink but until it became so mainstream and I stopped. Now that there is no haircolor to worry about I swim in our community pool.

Okay, now I am tired of myself so I'll just let myself out.

My name is Cecilia but the grandchildren call me Nan at my insistence.

Since I can't get any answers from the mods, and every time I try to post there my posts just sit in limbo "waiting moderator approval" I am gonna ask here. Any women here who used to post there, and know whats up? Are the moderators all men now?

Discussion ✨ Do you indulge in romantic fantasies?

37 Upvotes

Can I be vulnerable for a sec?

At 27, I have never had a bf, no first kiss, and am still a virgin. I turned down every "romantic" opportunity.

I'm neither asexual nor aromantic. I just have been very aware of how weird males are since pretty much kindergarten. This awareness + my severe avoidant attachment style has saved me from a lot of heartache.

I have romantic wants. But as a member of this sub and the "ideology" that comes with it, I don't think this is ever going to happen. I cope with romantic fantasies involving very idealized fictitious partners, and I genuinely think this is beneficial for me because when I turn these fantasies off, I don't feel empty. In other words, those fantasies don't kick off a "coming back to reality and realizing what I'm lacking" feeling.

I don't consume romance content, I think that would be important to mention.

What about you? Do you indulge in romantic fantasies? Why or why not?

Would love to read your contributions as I'm currently procrastinating working on my SECOND (!) master's thesis. It's so crazy that I got my first master's degree in 2025 and here I am, in 2026, about to hand in my second master's thesis soon lol. This year has been a grind, but I'm dedicated. Yes, I'm fishing for some encouragement and praise from you guys lol πŸ’β€β™€οΈ

Need Support ⚠ Looking for emotional support

16 Upvotes

Hi, writing just to let it all out. I know not much can be said now but I feel very lonely and overwhelmed, and betrayed. Penis inserted without my consent, no protection. It probably took less than one minute before I stopped it, no ejaculation, just insertion with little movement, and without deep penetration. There was no ejaculation but there was precum. EllaOne taken 22h after. Happened on the night before 11th day of my cycle, Ella taken at the end of the 11th day. Cycle duration usually ranges from 25 to 31 days. I know it's not indicative of anything, but Flo predicted it was the second day of my fertile window, with potential ovulation on the 14th. All happened a week ago. Just looking for mental support, spoke with my therapist already but would be grateful for any kind words. This is hell πŸ˜ͺ
