What Femthropocene Is

Femthropocene is a distinctive global feminist studio for creative thinkers, focused on deep analysis, collaborative creation, and tangible impact. Over our six months, we’ve carefully cultivated a unique space that is distinct from both conventional online feminist communities and established large-scale policy institutions.

At our core, Femthropocene is dedicated to anchoring its work in women’s material reality and cultivating an unfiltered analysis. Our mission is to empower women and girls globally to create their own worlds, share their voices, and contribute to tangible, real-world change.

We do this by emphasizing:

• Voice Calls: Prioritizing direct, live, and in-depth discussions that are rare in online feminist discourse.
• Sharing Your Own Experience: Creating a space where personal insights are valued as integral to collective understanding.
• Global Connection: Actively seeking and amplifying the voices of women from across the world, moving beyond Western-centric or reactionary discussions.
• Actionable Insights: Translating deep theoretical discussions into practical guides and projects for overcoming everyday patriarchal challenges.

What Femthropocene Is Not

We are clear about what Femthropocene is not, to ensure our space remains focused and productive for our specific community:

• Not typical professional development or “sisterhood” workshop series: While we value collaboration, our focus is on deep intellectual and creative work, not career coaching.
• Not another asynchronous chat platform: We are not a Discord server, Crystal Cafe, or Reddit forum for general feminist topics or casual discussion. These spaces already exist in abundance and serve a different purpose.
• Not a macro-level, detached policy organization: We admire organizations like UN Women or Women’s Declaration, but we are not focused on high-level policy advocacy that feels removed from daily life. Our emphasis is on accessible contribution and tangible, local-to-global impact.
• Not a media aggregation platform: We are not solely consolidating existing feminist YouTube channels, podcasts, or social media content. While we appreciate high-quality content, our aim is to foster original creation and direct engagement within our community.
• Not a platform for highlighting general tragedy or fundraising campaigns: While we empathize with individual struggles, we are not a primary hub for sharing personal gofundme links or focusing solely on individual tragic events.
• Not a book club for entertainment or academic exercise: Our book readings emphasize in-depth, female-centered discussions and the integration of lessons into our lives for real-world application.
• Not a space for debating foundational principles: This is not a space for debating the fundamentals of sex-based oppression, women’s material reality, or biological sex. We operate from these established principles as our starting point for deeper analysis and action.
• We do not entertain discussions that re-center male perspectives, patriarchal, or other tangential ideologies. Our focus is exclusively on women’s experiences and liberation.
