- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I feel like instead of changing the name, we should stop justifying it on "equality". The purpose of the movement is to stop a form of oppression. The name of the movement clearly takes the side of the oppressed, recognizing the oppression. Saying that the movement is for "equality" backpedals the recognition that an oppression exists and the discussion shifts to another point of derailment like "but arent men and women naturally different in some ways? is equality actually appropriate? what is equality?"
The productive feminist discussions are in debating the oppressions that exist and how to change them, not getting tangled in teological discussions about "nature" and "equality".
