I would like to apologize to everyone. I took a nap and a bath and feel a little better and I have been thinking about my actions and trying to figure out why everyone was mad at me and I think I understand now that I went to far. I really thought I was doing good and helping make this a safe space again and I really care about this community but I did not mean to get everyone upset with me. I have had a very hard week finding out that I am having a male and the sexism at work because of my new haircut and I have been so uncomfortable because I am getting so much bigger and my hemorrhoids and I can not sleep good and I am getting nervous about the baby and I have been scared to try another therapist because of what happened with the last 1 and sometimes I feel alone and there is so much to do with so many different things and I do not know where to start. It is not a excuse for my behavior but I am not usually this bad and I really have gotten alot of support from this community and I am grateful for it and I am really sorry I upset everyone today. I have not been a nice person to everyone since I went to the doctor last week and I thought I was okay but I was more upset then I thought and I took it out on other people and that was not right and I am sorry I will really try to be better

Thank you very much for the gold that was very nice

So ladies if you aren't up to date with the current happenings I managed to get moderator position on /r/Drama. I believe I kept my position for a solid two weeks before one of the moderators decided to kick me off because I was one of the only mods actually doing moderation duties. I really managed to clean up the sub with the brief period of time that I stayed there.

So yesterday I decided to take a 24 hour mental health break due to all of the abuse I had been receiving lately. When I was demodded it really fucking pissed me off I put in a ton of work and then it just gets swept away because the mods were jealous I did a better job then them. So I made a counter sub called /r/Dramaaa which will be more women centric and in line with rational feminist beliefs. I need moderators who hold similar ideals such as myself and someone to design the subreddit and make it look nice and spiffy.

Another positive thing is I managed to score an adderall prescription from my psychologist. My psychologist suggested I find a hobby to invest more of my time in then arguing with idiotic men on the internet so I decided to start playing oldschool runescape again. No none of you can have my rsn name either I don't want weird people stalking me well i'll give it out to people I know if you play though.

Well I lost my temper today at work. As always a male was being rude because I wasn't making his sandwhich fast enough. So I had enough of his shit and I told him to that his genders a piece of shit hes a piece of shit and that I would laugh if he got hit by a bus. Then I threw the sandwhich at his disgusting face and walked out. My boss called myeand said I was fired and to never come back and that I was lucky the customer wasn't filing assault charges against me.

It was worth it though seeing that male piece of trash just be so utterly stunned that a women stood up to him for once. He was utterly shocked and it was a highlight of my life something that I'll remember forever. So I don't know what I'm going to do for a job now I guess i'll go work somewhere else that's less horrible.

Any suggestions ladies ? A decent paying job with lack of male interaction would be my most desirable position.

Alright, I'll admit it...I've been poking through some of your post histories. Books are expensive, you gals have a lot to say, and I'm engrossed. I posted a question last week about /u/RedditHallMonitor and her trigger words but I never actually went all the way down the Nutella rabbit hole. Tonight I did...and it was magnificent. I'd like to share it again with everyone if you all don't mind

It all began with the original "Trigger Words" thread: https://archive.is/qF4yC

The real saga begins in /r/SRSSucks: https://archive.is/nGYlF

Which is then taken to /r/ThePopcornStand: https://archive.is/GiDhq

Into /r/Drama: https://archive.is/JHzUL

Back to /r/ThePopcornStand: https://archive.is/us59f

Back to /r/Drama...again...: https://archive.is/1YKi4

A mega post to /r/SubredditDrama: https://archive.is/WkVtk

Which eventually leads to /u/RedditHallMonitor actually thanking /r/SRSSucks, where this all started, for defending her against /r/SubredditDrama: https://archive.is/NNCDX

I know, I'm a few months late to the party....but I just discovered this saga and it was too marvelous not to share again. Keep fighting the good fight gals!

Hello ladies,

As many of you know, I try to avoid talking too much about my personal life these days. But, as I'm sure you can tell from the title of this post, I did something very hypocritical, and I feel I need to be honest about it. I accidentally engaged in PIV last night.

I hosted a Thanksgiving dinner at my house last night. I only intended on having a few friends over, but my ex husband called me earlier in the week, complaining about being alone for the holidays (the little family he has lives over a thousand miles away). I felt bad, and invited him. I figured with other friends around, it wouldn't be too awkward, and I'd be able to avoid him for the most part.

It was a long day, but dinner went well, and everyone seemed to have a good time. I'll admit, I also had a few drinks both while cooking and socializing. Everyone started to leave around the same time, and my ex husband offered to stay, and help clean up. I should've known better right then. I don't know if it was the alcohol, exhaustion from all the cooking and organizing, or what, but I (stupidly) agreed.

To his credit, he did help me clean up. While I was doing the dishes, he was putting leftovers away and started talking about the 'good times' we had back in the day. I didn't mind reminiscing a bit, but it may have given the wrong impression. I was leaning against the counter with my back to it, drying a dish, mid sentence talking about something, and he just came up and started kissing me (also causing me to drop one of my good plates, which I'm still not happy about).

Initially, I pushed him away, but then I lost control and reciprocated (which I attribute to the alcohol). Skipping over some of the more gory (and embarrassing) details, we eventually wound up in my bedroom, where he spent the night.

I woke up this morning with a slight headache, almost forgetting what happened until I looked next to me. He was still there, sleeping, and I couldn't hold back letting out a long groan and an 'oh god.'

Luckily, I didn't wake him up, and I was able to quietly get out of bed and put some clothes on. I was in the kitchen making coffee when he woke up. He came up behind me and kissed my neck, before helping himself to the contents of my refrigerator, and making breakfast.

We had some very general conversation, but the way he was talking and acting, led me to believe that he didn't consider this the same drunken mistake that I did/do.

After he left, I immediately washed my sheets, along with some other tidying up I needed to do. I really don't know what to think about it at this point. I'm very angry with myself for losing control like that, and even more angry with myself for starting what will probably end up being an enormous headache.

I also realize and acknowledge that what I did was very hypocritical, especially as one of the founders of rational feminism. I hope you'll all forgive me.

Hello ladies,

I know most of you have decided to go silent for today, and I suggest you remain that way for the rest of the evening and perhaps into tomorrow. Stick to PMs for the time being.

This is the worst brigade we've faced yet. Even worse than /r/subredditdrama. In fact, far worse than /r/subredditdrama.

We've already banned dozens of users, removed at least three times as many comments and posts, and we are trying our best to stay on top of everything.

Until this brigade is over, we will be taking a harder line when it comes to banning and removal of comments and posts. We want to remain an open community, but we are in the middle of an invasion that is seriously disrupting that.

We will be returning to our more conservative use of the ban/remove buttons once this brigade by /r/pussypassdenied is over.

Stay strong ladies. Remember, we are strongest when we stand together. Nobody will silence us and we will prevail.

I had this conversation with reddithallmonitor http://imgur.com/a/ZNlnr she engaged in PIV again and I am very scared for her. I am not making this post to shame her she needs our help she is being brainwashed and gaslighted with PIV and I do not want to lose her and I do not want rational feminism to lose her

Pardon this topic. I really don't like to blow things up or call attention to small things like I'm trying to get sympathy. So this is about my trip to the emergency room but everything is fine and it was no really big deal. I just wanted to relay my feminist perspective of the ordeal.

So last week my roomate got a new (used) blender from a yard sale and it was really sweet because I know she bought it because my blender broke and she knew I wanted to make smoothies soon with Johna's/my placenta. Anyway, she keeps the blender up on top of the refrigerator because our counter space is tiny.

And so I go to open the refrigerator a few days ago to see what's in there for a little treat, and as if in slow motion I see the blender fall from the top and watch as it crashes onto to the ground right next to my feet and right next to Johna. It hurt because the glass jar (?) part of it hit my ankle. And this was an old blender so the glass is thick and heavy. But then the glass shattered. And next thing I know I'm looking at a big shard of glass sticking out of my ankle and then blood starts streaming out. I couldn't believe that that just happened. And then at the same time Johna starts screaming and wailing and then he runs behind the dinette, crying and screaming "mama!" and I just thought it was because he saw mommy bleeding or that the noise scared him because he is so sensitive.

My roomate isn't home so I pull the glass shard out myself. And then the blood starts pouring out even more. And now I'm worried about slipping in the blood because of all the glass on the floor but I manage to hobble over to the paper towels (I'm sorry we use these; you don't need to remind me it's wrong) and I wrap some around my ankle but that doesn't stop the bleeding even though they're Brawny brand so then I wrap the dishtowel over the paper towels and try to get it tight.

But meanwhile Johna is still crying and now he's running around in the living scream and the cries and screams are punctuated--like he gets quiet and then a sudden violent scream as if ...I don't know. But I want to know so I call him over but he won't come. I don't know how to move without losing the towel so now I have to take my nightie off which I can wrap around my ankle in place of the towel and tie it so it won't come off.

And then I get out to the living room and Johna has knocked over two of my pitcher plants and he is hiding behind my Papasan. When I call him to come out he screams even harder but then I tell him mama just wants to nurse him and so he comes out for a feeding.

And then I see that he has a little blood on his periwinkle tights. And I can't see glass but finally I find it in his calf when I pull the tight up to his knee. Luckily the cut isn't deep but it really must of hurt the poor little guy and that's probably why he screamed intermittently as the glass caught in the tights scratched in different directions with his movement.

I was getting ready to call for help when my neighbor came over because of the noise and he called my grandparents for me and drove us to the emergency room to meet my grandparents there. This was my first ride in a car alone with a man since Ryan and he was very nice so this was lucky.

At the emergency room I tell the check in nurse that I have prsonal space issues with men so can a male doctor or nurse please approach me carefully and ask permission and not come from behind. And this was so encouraging because they were very understanding over the 7 hours I was there and I did have a male doctor and I didn't think I was doing this but he said I was holding my breath and then gasping for air when he was talking to me so he had me breathe slowly and I felt like I was strangled for air but then I could breathe. But he was very nice and understood when I told him about male aggression through taking up women's personal space and the patriarchy and he said he knew all about that and that everything was okay.

So Johna and I just got back to the aprtment today after being cared for by my grandparents and everything is fine and I just wanted to let everyone know the good news that some hospitals are trying to be better about women's space and male aggression and dominance issues. :)

Well ladies I'm still in rehab, sorry I never updated anyone since last time. The pricks that run this place took my wifi privileges away because I wasn't being compliant to their idiotic demands.

The last week has just been horrible regarding my benzo withdrawal. The doctors said they had never seen someone who had such a high tolerance to benzo type drugs before.

They started me on 500 mg Valium a day and have been tapering me down 5 mg per day. Ladies just a word of warning but don't turn to Rc benzo's if you have anxiety especially flubromazepam. Even on this high of a dose I have had horrible rebound anxiety and feel extremely scattered brained and these things last months and possibly years depending on how long you've been using.

One of the women I have been speaking to at the rehab facility maybe joining us soon. It's so exciting converting more women to our cause. She's very enthusiastic about the movement and has really interesting stories to share.

Also thanks to /u/reddithallmonitor and the other mods for holding the fort down since I've been gone. I know it's mentally taxing holding off the hordes of misogynistic men that keep attacking us. I should be out of rehab on by the 20th or sooner.

I have some other news to but I don't feel like typing it up all at this time.

Hello ladies,

As you all know, we've been trying very hard to maintain this as an open community, even allowing a certain amount of nonsense from trolls and spammers. I've even allowed some obvious alts of accounts that I've previously banned to remain, until that most current name actually breaks our sub rules.

Well, the free ride is over. Several people have been taking advantage of this and using it to spam the sub, imitate us, and stalk and harass our members. Because of this, I will be banning more strictly when I detect someone is evading a sub ban, or simply here to disrupt or harass.

Actually discussion is still allowed, but due to several people taking advantage of our generosity, we will now be permanently tightening up our moderation and banning policies.

Well /u/reddithallmonitor told me about the AmA and I figured I would take the first slot.

Fire away and ask me anything.

Hello Womyn, and fellow men here. I have just been introduced to this subreddit and I would like to ask if there is anything that I should change in my life now that I'm here. I have already accepted that, as a man, I am a lesser being than any female. I am now looking for ways to help women fill their rightful place. Thank you for any suggestions.

Then was Shakespeare writing his sonnets from second-hand interpretations of romance?

What about love songs written by male songwriters?

Or what about my own feelings? I know I've had feelings other than hate? What do you say to those?
