| About: | Ecofeminism is a world-wide movement encompassing many different definitions, all of which hold that the oppression of women and the oppression of all life on earth are intricately and fundamentally connected.
Some define ecofeminism as the most radical feminism. Some define it as a movement similar to, or maybe the same as, anarchafeminism, that seeks to create a world without domination. Some focus more on the connections between feminism and environmentalism, while others focus on the connections between feminism and animal liberation. Some hold that ecofeminism is an ideology that seeks to create a world on the basis of "power with" as opposed to "power over". Some consider ecofeminism a feminist spiritual movement.

Community Rules-- READ BEFORE POSTING:
1.General
- Keep posts relevant and, if necessary, explain their relevance. - Cite sources for your information if possible. - Please remember that this is not a United States-only space. - Posts in languages other than English are welcome and encouraged. These resources can be used for translation: Dictionary.com and Translation Experts
2.Debating/Trolls/Etc.
- No sexist, racist, classist, transphobic, homophobic, ablist, speciesist, ethnocentric, etc. comments. - This community is pro-choice. End of story. - This community strives to be as drama-free as possible. If you post incites drama it will be deleted. - This isn't a community for debating about the validity of ecofeminism. People who aren't ecofeminists are one-hundred percent welcome, but come with the attitude of learning, not teaching. - Please note that Vandana Shiva, who has been widely criticized, is not the only ecofeminist in the world. Ecofeminism is a huge field of study with incredibly diverse literature.
3.Safe Space
- If you post something that could be triggering, put it behind a cut and label it as potentially triggering. This means no numbers AT ALL when talking about eating disorders or weight issues, no gory pictures that aren't behind a cut, no personal stories about rape, abortion, or like issues that aren't behind a cut, using words like "rape" out of context, etc. This is really important.
- This is a safe space for all oppressed groups/ non-power groups or victims of discrimination, basically. By safe space here, I mean a space in which people can be themselves freely and without fear. However, if your idea of a safe space is a space in which you are "free" to discriminate against or exlude certain other marginalized groups, or that you can say anything you wish, sorry.
- Anybody who engages in survivor-blaming will be banned.
4.Non-liberal feminisms
- This is not a liberal or reformist feminist journal. In other words, don't post about things that only effect rich white american women, don't make pop-culture posts, and don't talk about how moving up in the workplace should be everybody's feminist goal. -Check ALL of your status privileges at the door or else expect to be called on it. This means gender, race, nationality, ethnicity, sexuality, physical ability, species, and other privileges. This is not a support group for people who can't come to terms with their hitherto unquestioned privileges.
5.Moderation -This community was created and is moderated by cookieavalanche. Contact the moderator at thecarolynconspiracy@yahoo.com with any problems or questions. Posters/posts that the moderator believes create an unsafe, violent, or inappropriate atmosphere in the community will be banned/deleted.
-If you are banned or your post deleted: Don't feel entitled to prior notice. Don't feel entitled to whine about censorship-- this space, like all others, is organized in a certain way, around certain ideas and rules. Your being here is an agreement that you have accepted and understood these ideas and rules. So if you don't like this community, don't whine about it; go start your own.
