    Tweeps, I'm setting up a forum for women opposed to the disempowerment of women & demonisation of men. The website-developer who is kindly helping me with this has asked me to look at a number of forums & get an idea of what kind I want. I don't use forums. Can you suggest some?

        It will be a place from which we can organise responses to occurrences which need addressing with a strong and unified female voice in opposition to the worst kind of disempowering/demonising feminist voices.

        I am a little antsy about it being a forum just for women but I think it needs to be, strategically. Sadly, if it included a lot of men, I think responses would be dismissed as male self-interest.

        I think it's very important a significant number of women are seen to oppose the narrative which makes us fragile & incompetent to function in the public sphere & demonises those of our family, friends, lovers & colleagues who own penises.

        Wish you luck. My suggestion would be that no matter which forum you decide on, make sure it follows basic accessibility principles so as not to inadvertently exclude would-be thoughtful conversations.

        I've been a subscriber to a library youth services forum called PUBYAC, for at least 15 years: https://www.pubyac.org/index.html  Listserve style, notifications via email.

        I like a Facebook forum called Be Your Own Hero. We include all who identify as female and those who have female physical characteristics but identify as male.

        You might look at the sports blogs on http://sbnation.com  Clean scrolldown, mod-driven but comments still accessible from the front page

        I think they look a lot more professional than the normal turn-of-millenium style forums. For comparison: https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/

        I'll cheerfully promote it to anyone relevant I can think of when it's launched, & yeah, I get why it has to be all-women: anything you say will be dismissed out-of-hand by the SJWs otherwise. That might happen anyway of course: they do love to attack character over content...🙄
