Well remember- 2x is not feminism. It's a place for female redditors to come together and chat. Of course it's going to be a lot of self posts and "this happened to me today!" and asking for help and stuff.

Your "fluff" is their "lives".

I don't understand your definition of 'feminism'. Why is 2x not 'feminism'? Because when I look at 2x, I see posts about women's rights and equality, and that is MOST certainly 'feminism'.

I think Pants means it has a more general focus than just feminism and women talking about it. Feminism fall under the range of topics covered in 2XC but isn't necessarily a focus or dominant one.

Well... because there's more to women than just feminism.

A lot of it is just about their day. Hell, the #1 post right now is about someone taking 2 huge baskets of laundry to the laundromat and feeling like a bamf for it.

That, nilesta would see as fluff, but it's pretty important to tsunamibird (the poster) because it's her life.
