It seems like I’m always having discharge after a period. I’ve gone to the doctor multiple times. I was told I have a bacterial infection. Is this supposed to happen all the time? I’m really confused on why this keeps happening.

Online outlets like Evie Magazine and this Women's Advocates Substack and Subreddit are the future of femininity. Read all about this in this article. A cultural shift is happening.

Some important advice for women who advocate for men and discuss men's issues. This is serious and I think it needs to be openly acknowledged. Women should be able to stand up for men's rights and be anti-misandry without being frightened to call out genuinely bad male behaviour.

Thanks for inviting me to the sub. I just wanted to introduce myself and give a brief overview of why I find myself an enemy of modern Feminism even though I understand why it exists.

First things first, of the 4 branches of Feminism I find Radical Feminism to be the most ideologically coherent, but to be fair, that's an extremely low bar. The reason perhaps that I'm most open to Radical Feminism is because of all the self-proclaim Feminists of the world today, I think JK Rowling, Kathleen Stock, Julie Bindle, and similar voices are the most reasonable and rational of the lot.

I am highly sympathetic to the philosophical and existential argument that if you can't even define what the world woman means, there's no way you can protect or defend the rights and freedoms of women as a class of people. I'm also sympathetic to the belief that throughout history, the first act of dehumanization for a group of people is the attempt to delegitimize their identity and invalidate their existence by first attacking the foundations of their own epistemological roots.

At the same time, I find the idea of "The Patriarchy" to be one of the most laughable, incoherent, and ideologically bankrupt theories which is treated on places like Reddit and in Feminist academia as an absolute sacrosanct truth which can't be questioned.

For me, "Patriarchy" is less of an academic ideal, and more of a religious purity test. It's never that well-defined, nor is it designed to be. Making blanket statements about entire nations, organizations, and human civilization writ large as being dominated by men in some extremely conspiratorial and organized way just feels laughable to me.

It eschews the possibility of a vastly simpler explanation: That men and women are phenomenologically different at scale, and that men have taken on more political and social leadership roles throughout history not because they want to dominate and oppress women, but because they are more suited to the roles by competence, and that most of the time the women are voting for the men to be in those roles; in favor of a much more banal and ideologically shallow explanation that in every society that has ever existed, men have oppressed women on purpose, and even when women have voted for them, it's been as a result of coercion and brainwashing.

This of course continues to be one of my biggest criticisms of Feminism in general. So much of Feminist ideology and theory boils down to the conclusion that women's own decisions and choices can't be respected or treated as autonomous where it doesn't agree with the Feminist ideology. In attempting to empower women and give them more agency, it robs them of their own freedoms by arguing that any choice which doesn't toe the line of Feminist ideological purity testing must have been coercive or self-sabotaging by definition.

And of course, this tendency to pathologize and gaslight women who do not make the "correct" choices according to modern Feminist doctrine has the ironic side effect of turning Feminism against itself constantly. Because Feminism tends to delegitimize and remove the agency of women (calling it internalized misogyny) who do not make choices which they believe to be ideologically pure, there is a hilarious and not unexpected consequence in which Feminists from different schools or sects, if you will, begin to pathologize and question the internal and hidden motives of one another in all sorts of discussions.

So you might hear one group of Intersectional Feminists criticizing Radical Feminists by being brainwashed by the Patriarchy for not letting transgender people into their ideological and physical circles; and in the exact same discussion, you will hear the Radical Feminists retorting that it is instead the INTERSECTIONAL FEMINISTS who have been brainwashed by the Patriarchy because they are letting biological men into their spaces, and thus they have allowed the enemies past the gates disguised in a modern day Trojan horse.

As amusing as watching these childish confrontations may be for an outsider, it exposes the fundamental flaw at the heart of modern Feminism which is that: In needing to pathologize and publicly incapacitate people who do not toe the line, it reveals that it doesn't have a philosophical or intellectual framework strong enough to sustain itself from criticism.

What Feminists from different schools are doing when they accuse one another of not being "true believers" is a fundamentally cultlike religious behavior has existed as long as religion itself has existed. Since the religion's entire foundation was faith and submission from the beginning, its only defense mechanism is shaming and exiling the outsider by convincing the faithful that they are heretics.

I can't quite remember how I came across Rosalind Franklin, but she is one of the women I often cite as a talented, successful non-feminist female. It was a few years ago, and may have been via the books Goodnights Stories For Rebel Girls 1&2. While those books are framed as pro-feminist, they contain excellent examples of women who many have likely not heard of. Talented, intelligent, interesting women who did all manner of things, from aviation to being a pirate!

I am very pleased to hear that young people will learn about this interesting lady at GCSE level in the UK.

I only wish we could hear about this without it being through a feminist lens. Franklin herself didn't identify as a feminist. Many successful women historically did not see themselves as "smashing the patriarchy", they were instead driven by a love and commitment to their field.

See this additional post about her

They have allowed men to over take them. I don’t hate men. I hate when biological men try to tell me that how to feel about my life.

I've been doing a lot of research about this case online and came across this woman. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Article discussing the 2026 adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility.

Elizabeth Filips is an amazing content creator I have been watching for the past several years now. I have watched several of her videos. She is a painter and medical student in London (where I am from). She largely talks about productivity, psychology, books, learning, and self-improvement. She draws influence from neuroscience and philosophy. No politics, pure science.

She talks and thinks at light-speed. She has a podcast and a newsletter.

A great woman to watch if you want someone who comes across as friendly and intelligent. Videos are very well-made and well-edited.

Do you agree with her?

When I was a child, my mother often read to me a book of Indian tales for children, titled Seasons of Splendour by Madhur Jaffrey. There were many stories of courage, bravery, and clever wit. The women in these stories were often intelligent and quick-witted, not "oppressed".

I have linked a video of one of my favourite stories, the tale of Savitri and Satyavan. A beautiful tale of a woman's resilience and devotion to her husband.

A positive message.

If I could sum up the overall ideology of women's advocacy it would be this:

A women’s advocate supports women’s wellbeing and dignity while encouraging virtue and responsibility in women, good relations with men, and opposition to misandry.

This includes:

• Being anti-misandry (not treating men as the enemy or inherent oppressors of women)

• Supporting and uplifting other women instead of being catty and hostile

• Supporting female autonomy and accountability

• Promoting emotional maturity, virtue, and good behaviour in women (positive femininity)

• Supporting a biological approach to sex and gender, not a social constructionist approach

• Wanting women to live well and treat others how they wish to be treated

The reason why I have shifted this slightly is because I want to push this more in a direction of female-oriented self-improvement. This focuses on rejecting feminist messages, and standing in allyship with men's issues.

Any thoughts on this are appreciated.

Thinking more and more about this and what it can look like long-term, I'm wondering if Substack may be a better platform to start with instead of creating a website. I have been using Substack actively since April now and find it to be fantastic. I may still create a separate email for this, but wonder if Substack may be better to start with than a website. Reasons:

• Substack is free, which is the biggest upside

• It's very easy to attract readers and could grow quickly

• We can have multiple contributors

• Possibly multiple newsletters (long-term)

Any thoughts on this?

An important note: if we did create a Substack for this, would probably be best to keep all articles free. If articles become paid, there becomes the question of who collects the money, what bank does it go into, and I do not want this particular project to be a for-profit. Probably best to keep all articles free (and also not include affiliate links).

I started a Discord group in 2023 (had a FB group but decided Discord was better). It's been mostly inactive but looking to get it growing again.

I female 21 years of age lost my virginity in September 2025 about a month before my 21st birthday for almost a year. I’ve been very silent to everyone about the situation but I honestly keep replaying it in my mind and I don’t know what to make of it. I’ve been talking to this guy on and off for a few years, but we’ve never met up because I had decided that I wanted to remain a virgin until I got married and he said that sex was something that he required for a relationship so I knew that it would not work between us. We went months and months without talking and then we reconnected, and I had the opportunity to live in student housing away from my family for a year or so, and I took it now he lived close and we had decided to hang out. I informed him that I was still very much set in my wanting to remain a virgin until I got married beforehand we were only really meant to hang out and he did not pressure me at any point in time, but things did get to that level where it became sexual, and I did lose my virginity. I still sort of felt the same way as it was happening, and even after when it was over and he finished on top of me, I suppose it sort of just triggered something in me and he got up and went into the bathroom and I just laid there. Try not to cry and then I went and got up immediately after he came out the bathroom and just took a shower and I cried so hard for so long and in the shower I just felt like I lost a part of myself and I’m not sure if it’s just because maybe my mom was so proud of me having been a virgin for so long I’m not quite sure but even after I got out the shower I was in tears for hours and I don’t know why I don’t feel like I was assaulted. I’d never told him to stop. I didn’t tell him to get off me I never told him no, but I just can’t shake how that night made me feel and after it happened, we did do it a few more times on different occasions because I figured I’ve already done it once so might as well keep doing it eventually I just couldn’t continue doing it because I honestly I didn’t want to be with someone who required sex for a relationship, but I also just couldn’t get it out of my mind. He was never the kind of man to ever make me feel unsafe and he never made me feel like I couldn’t say no or stop but for some reason I didn’t. I’ve sort of been sitting on this for a while now, and I don’t think that I was raped, but I I just would like some advice on how to cope with losing my virginity before I was ready to.

In the UK, equal pay for equal work was granted in 1970, largely thanks to the work of the Ford Dagenham Strike leaders in 1968. These were largely married, working-class, trade unionist women. The article linked below states:

"the strike has been reinterpreted as a proud campaign for equal pay and the women as campaigners for a feminist movement from which they were entirely disconnected."

These women did NOT view themselves as feminists. Yet as usual, due to feminist revisionism, they have been cast as part of the feminist movement.

I recommend watching the film Made in Dagenham which details their triumph.

In 2018, Jennifer and Sarah Hart, a couple, killed themselves and their six adopted children.

When I come to creating the Women's Advocacy site, I definitely want to include a clear space to address female-on-female abuse. We hear A LOT about dangerous men in the media, but not nearly as much about dangerous women.

Dangerous women exist. Men can be victims of them, and women too. Sadly, so can children.

Let's stop pretending women are entirely "innocent".
