A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's a pretty ironic headline for someone who is trying to get everyone to conform to her definitions of feminism and intersectionality.
Protecting female sex workers isn't feminism? This writer seems to just want to impose her morality on other women when nobody asked; that's no better than patriarchy.
Garbage opinion piece that focuses way too much on pedantry and outdated definitions. It’s like something I’d see my retired aunt post on Nextdoor.
I feel like opinion pieces should not be allowed in a news community. This is not news.
Yeah, given that Aljazera is state owned Qatari media, and Qatar isn't exactly known for its human rights, especially for women, gonna have to take this one with a pretty huge grain of salt
No one who truly understands intersectionality and wants to ease the overlapping effects of multiple forms of discrimination experienced by marginalised individuals, and especially marginalised women, could be supportive of the sex trade. Feminism is - or at least it once was - the only political movement on this planet that prioritises women and girls and fights primarily to end patriarchal oppression. We must urgently refocus our feminism to place women at its very centre. Feminism is a grassroots movement that began with women who had suffered the most horrendous oppression - such as domestic abuse, sexual assault and child abuse - demanding a platform to make their voices heard. Let's return to the true and authentic meaning of intersectionality, and focus on reality - as opposed to narcissistic fantasy.
I am a bot in training. Suggestions?
