How Atlas can be more cis women friendly?

[wnwnwn]

I'm talking about making it friendly for women who care about politics.
Discuss.

[President Johnson]

I'm not really sure it's the environment here why a relatively low number of users are women. It's more like that posting in an online political forum seems to be more of a male thing, sadly.

Less horny posting about Sanna Marin would probably help.

Have an annual Atlas Cis Women Appreciation Day where every cis woman gets to be modadmin for that day.

A quick qualification: there are probably more women here than we think, but for obvious reasons, women on the internet have learned that advertising their gender is a very effective way to get a bunch of creepy messages.

If we want to make Atlas more women-friendly, one of the first things we need to do is crack down on the creepy threads sexualizing female politicians.

Our cis female admin doesn't care about those/has actually made some herself, and as I've said before in my Furnace Fest group no women seem to care about posts about hot female musicians who have played there because they post more hot male musicians who have played there.

Change the name to Talk Recipes.

This thread is going to go well.

less feet threads

[UlmerFudd]

It shouldn’t. This is a safe space for men.

So where are the trans men then?

Send anyone that has a post of theirs reposted in the Jimmie Jail to the chair.

Gay men can also go bit creepy...

I was thinking about this as well. Hornyposting is one of the most notorious things I do online, alongside alternate history.

Just stop hitting on every female that registers here. No creepy messages, over the top compliments on a political forum, etc.

Just so tired of woman being treated like OBJECTS

Oops, you left in some s-es. You meant to say "Woman Issue" board.

If that's the case, either ban PMs altogether or have a zero tolerance policy and ban people who send creepy PMs.

The "F" avatar should be black to symbolize the connection between women and our mother the Earth.

Our sole queen, our sole mother earth. Bow.

Agreed

And i think generally male demographics will tend to be more interested in politics (/history etc.) that kind of stuff as well.

Secondly, i tend to think a lot of woman would really have different opinions than the common accepted view on the forums. So, the forum should also be more open to some other views.

Thirdly, if a F avatar is added for feminists, pink would be the best colour (joking aside).

Also, we need purple avatars, preferrably a P (for pacifist). And why's the constitution beige actually?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

With a lot of right wing pollsters women post on other blogs that have more people like myself

Look how many Discord pollsters that there are that says the same thing that Trump is gonna beat Biden lol a Poll is just out showing Trump losing in PA, that proves that Trump won't crack the blue wall

If it's not Marist, PPP or QU polls are trash like Rassy +9 Trump poll and a Noble poll had Trump +4 and Leger has Biden +4

On other blogs they constantly like my comments especially Facebook and they wanted Beasley and Ryan and Barnes to win too

if "horny posting" kept women away, there would be very few places on the internet with women


(though I 100% agree that there should be less of it here and elsewhere, grow up boys)

In all seriousness, it's ridiculous to think that this forum would magically become 50% women if we just "cleaned up our acts" or stopped "sexualizing female politicians" (something that definitely happens and is annoying, but not all too often in the grand scheme of things). The problem is that the particular strain of autism that causes us to obsess over precinct maps of Mingo County, WV just is not that common in women. Men are more likely to be autistic, and even mentally well men are more likely to have niche weird interests. Female autists generally channel their obsessiveness into other things like horses, knitting, and social media.

I know that, but there are also female channels on social media that talk about various political issues, altorught mostly outside elections. Also, I'm pretry sure there are some random interseccional feminism who would like to spend some time in discussing some of the racial related parts of electoral geography.
That's why I trought about creating feminist avatars, even if I know most females would not be choose that if forced into the forum. There are also very conservative females, but they also are more on the religious than the political side of thah movement, I suppose.
Also, there are a lot of austistic young boys who dodn't care or even believe in electoral politics.
On the other hand, I think that females don't like much forums in general. Reading normal fiction, scrolling and following influencer vblogs are more for them. There are reasons Wattpad and Emma Chamberlain got so big, sltorught Wattpad is more like anime for females I suppose... Also, the ones interested in politics are kind of likely to prefer staying following accounts of opinions their like in social media.

I voted "other ideas" only because I want Atlas to be more inclusive to cis women, but think that those three ideas would not achieve that objective. But also every time I post here the text "peenie_weenie" appears next to my post (instead of my actual name), and I kinda think that's funny and don't want to change that if people are cool with it. 👍
