    I think that while terfs should be banned, it seems reasonable for there to be a forum for women over 40 to discuss dating. I don’t know the nature of the subject in question. But what it purports to be seems fine.

    The moderators are of course failing to ban bigots

    Oof. This place is bad. Terfy, swerfy, anti kink., and cloaking support of right wing politics in pseudo feminism and its all from the mods down.

      “Could it be I’m still single at 40 because all I attract with my bigotry is other bigots, especially misogynistic bigots? No, clearly it’s the trans women, who are firebombing Chicago as part of the auntie Vuh supersoldier terrorist network.”

          Yeah I had a skim of their front page transphobia, homophobia, biphobia, lesbophobia, racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, classism, SWERFism etc.

          The difference is that femaledatingstrategy despite having all the above still did a lot criticism of reactionary and misogynistic cishet male behaviour, which this lacks.

          It’s like looking at all the fucked up stuff Jordan Peterson said and saying okay no more of this cleaning your room shit. Like the one “Brock clock being right twice a day” has gone.

            All I can really say is that I see bigotry, openly and explicitly as a policy by the moderators, and that this makes it a space for bigots by bigots. I cant comment on the history of the place or what worth a different sub could have had. I assume you know what youre talking about

              Yeah definitely this place is vile and full of bigots. And I must say nothing above was a defence of r/FDS it was equally awful.

              But the latter would occasionally make other terrible bigots mad when they called out the actual shitty behaviour of specific men.

              Reddit chuds calling them misandrists and stuff like that. Real let-them-fight moment
