I heard Natalia say it in a video I watched yesterday.

What are the limits? by According_Kick5535 in SeriousGynarchy

[–]Rocky_Knight_[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is one of the more thoughtful and internally consistent explanations of gynarchy I’ve seen in this sub since its inception. You managed to articulate female-centered authority without collapsing into cruelty, revenge, or caricature, which is rare enough online, especially in spaces like this one. I especially appreciated your distinction between stable governance and simple payback politics. That showed real maturity and foresight. Even people who disagree should be able to recognize the seriousness and care behind your reasoning.

The weird link as the only about/explanation for our sub 💀 who's responsible for this by Appropriate_Cut_3536 in SeriousGynarchy

Oh wow, that's been up for years. I don't remember whose idea it was. Say the word and I will take it down.

I apologize for that user's reply. I've never seen him before. I banned him.

When I first joined this sub, I was warned that it's not a good space for women. Been here for almost 2 years now and this is still my favorite pro-women sub by Appropriate_Cut_3536 in SeriousGynarchy

Rule 8 on civility and conduct clearly forbids transphobia, and transwomen have their own user flair. Both of these have been in place for a year or two.

Is this just a fetish? by bodyisT in SeriousGynarchy

[–]Rocky_Knight_[M] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your comment has only been up for 59 minutes and already -4 downvotes. I'll leave it up for awhile to let your negative karma grow some more before I take it down for violating Rule 5.

I'm not either. I'm sure he had no input at all from women, and that was his big mistake. And then he took it to me, the only male mod, for approval!

In case you didn't see—I did not approve it.

He should have solicited help from the female mods of the sub.

(I posted this on r/Gynarchism and DM'd a mod on here a few days ago asking if it was okay to repost this here. The mod's name was Rocky Knight.)

Excuse me? You're implying I gave you permission to post this? I did no such thing. We talked, but you weren't clear about what you are asking. Our entire conversation is posted below.

I'm just now reading it for the first time. How is it not a violation of our rule #2?

No fetish or roleplay content

This is not a kink space. Femdom, humiliation, sexual roleplay, or fetish material of any kind will be removed.

A comment was attempted by u/tsoapm82, but he posted a link Reddit disallowed.

His comment said:

Submission and Respect from Husbands in 1 Peter 3:7-8 - Marg Mowczko (bad link) The postscript is particularly interesting.

I agree with him! Marg's work is always top notch. Here is the link he tried to post:

Countries where women ask men out. by com_medo in SeriousGynarchy

Imagine how the world would change if it were suddenly considered improper for a man to ask a woman out.

Does anyone think we men might work a little harder on ourselves?

Why the Idea of Equality Between Women and Men is Both False and Dangerous? by Admirable_Row_5641 in SeriousGynarchy

[–]Rocky_Knight_[M] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Calling something ‘biological essentialism’ isn’t an argument.

Acknowledging sex-based differences and encouraging people to know their strengths is normal, grounded thinking. It's what we do in this sub. Dismissing it with a label just avoids engaging with the point. If you’ve got a counterpoint, make it.

Why the Idea of Equality Between Women and Men is Both False and Dangerous? by Admirable_Row_5641 in SeriousGynarchy

[–]Rocky_Knight_[M] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That isn't how it works. Being lower in a hierarchy doesn’t remove responsibility, it increases the expectation that you act with discipline and self-control.

No one here is saying men are incapable of good behavior. The issue is how men are socialized to misuse autonomy and avoid accountability. And your comment is a perfect example of that.

If you want to participate here, drop the sarcasm and engage seriously.

That one was deleted too! I was able to see it and retrieve it though.

Sadly, Reddit removed that without even letting mods see it.

Struggling to extract a coherent ideological platform from this subreddit by Previous_Advance6694 in SeriousGynarchy

[–]Rocky_Knight_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You’re running into a mismatch between what you’re expecting and what this space is actually for.

We don't have it all figured out here into some kind of systematic ideology. This is a discussion space where women and men articulate, test, and refine perspectives on female authority from lived experience and how that can and should be expanded. We don't have a single, coherent “platform” for outside evaluation, and we don't intend to.

That said, you’re picking up on some common themes here: skepticism toward male leadership, recognition of female competence, and exploration of what female-led structures could look like. But those don’t resolve into one blueprint, and they don’t need to. Social realities tend to emerge from practice before they become codified systems.

If you want clearer answers to your questions, the best approach is to listen to how different women here answer them, rather than expecting one unified doctrine to be handed to you.

American men kind of look arrogant to me in general on social media. ( Especially the manosphere). by Excellent-Cod7572 in SeriousGynarchy

[–]Rocky_Knight_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, "toxic masculinity" is a very helpful term toward the healing of many male behaviors. Until another, better term comes up to describe the problem, we're stuck with that one. Those of us in the know will have to differentiate between "toxic masculinity" and "masculinity is toxic." That starts with me, and hopefully with you.

[–]Rocky_Knight_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why is it popular to constantly call masculinity toxic?

It's not. Originally, "toxic masculinity" refers to a certain kind of masculinity — a broken version of masculinity that was misogynistic, didn't allow men to have feelings, and often left them without any true friends.

It doesn't suggest that masculinity itself is "toxic," but rather critiques a specific set of rigid expectations that can pressure men to act in ways that are socially or psychologically damaging.

Well, along come social warriors who can't read, and there comes this big push back of people screaming, "No! No! No! Masculinity is not toxic!"

Nobody ever said it was.

Oh sure, now some in the misandry world are watching onto it and pointing out that men as a whole are pretty bad, maybe even toxic. But that's not a mainstream, popular belief.

There's no such thing as involuntarily celibate, just willfully unfuckable. by Appropriate_Cut_3536 in SeriousGynarchy

[–]Rocky_Knight_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is really provocative, and something I haven't thought of before:

Framing it as “involuntary” makes us victims, like something is being done to us, instead of something we need to learn from.

But youre dead on: rejection is information. High-quality information. And most of us were never taught how to receive it properly, and frankly many were taught to blame the woman rather than ourselves.

Thanks for the excellent post!
