I believe that the best way to maintain a genuinely safe space is to protect fr0m the front door. By making the network invite-only, we effectively block bots, trolls, and bad actors from mass-creating accounts, ensuring our community remains authentic and secure.
Absolutely not. Womyn is anonymous by choice. You are never required to link your real name, phone number, or even a personal email to your profile. You can generate a completely unique handle and interact with total peace of mind.
On traditional platforms, AI is often used to exploit users—harvesting your data, tracking your behavior, and pushing addictive content just to keep you scrolling. At Womyn, AI is strictly used as a shield, not a spy.
We leverage artificial intelligence purely for your protection: from adding 'noise' to your photos to block malicious facial recognition, detecting non-consensual deepfakes, and powering context-aware moderation to catch harassment before you have to see it. AI should be used to defend your privacy and agency, rather than compromise it.
When you upload a photo to Womyn, my system applies a special layer of "noise" to the image using an AI technique, at this stage a version of the Basic Iterative Method (BIM). To the human eye, your photo looks the same, but to malicious algorithms and data scrapers, the image becomes next to unreadable. The aim is to ensure your identity cannot be tracked or misused across the web.
Besides our invite-only barrier, and peer-admin moderation system, we are actively developing advanced, context-aware AI moderation. Instead of relying on easily bypassed keyword filters, our intelligent moderation is designed to understand nuance, catching harassment and issues before they ever reach your feed.
I am currently taking applications for early testers! You can apply to become a "Founding Myn" by clicking the "Join womyn" button on this site. Founders get project updates and the first opportunities for early verification.
Not at all. Creating a space specifically for women is not about hating men, it is about recognizing that as women, we have unique vulnerabilities, realities, and experiences.
Just as society recognizes the need for women-only gyms, shelters, and professional networking events in the physical world to provide entertainment, comfort and safety, the digital world requires this too.
The mainstream internet is overwhelmingly a mixed-sex space, and unfortunately, it has proven to be disproportionately hostile to women regarding harassment, surveillance, and non-consensual image exploitation. By making Womyn a female-only platform, we are not making a malicious statement against men, we are simply creating a much needed sanctuary for women to connect, share, and exist online without being on guard.
The womyn.network is a single-sex platform exclusively built for, and restricted to, women (adult human females). By joining the Beta or signing up for the network, users agree to uphold this boundary. This policy is not an afterthought; it is the foundational pillar of our network's architecture and community guidelines.
The modern internet is frequently hostile to women. From disproportionate levels of online harassment and deepfake exploitation to the chilling effect of male surveillance in digital spaces, women navigate a distinctly different online landscape. We define our user base strictly as women to provide a new sort of space: free of the usual expectations and dynamics, for our users to feel relaxed and comfortable.Â
A dedicated single-sex space fosters a unique level of safety. It allows for uninhibited discussion, vulnerable sharing, and authentic connection regarding topics ranging from healthcare, career mentorship to personal safety, or just having a laugh! By protecting the front door, we ensure the network remains a sanctuary focused entirely on the needs, voices, and security of women.
Providing a single-sex service is a legally recognized and protected right when it serves a clear, justifiable purpose. Under UK law (specifically the Equality Act 2010 exemptions for single-sex services), restricting a service to one sex is lawful when it is a "proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim."
Our legitimate aims are explicitly clear:
Privacy and Decency: Ensuring digital privacy and preventing the non-consensual exploitation of female users.
Targeted Need: Addressing the specific, documented need for female-only digital safety tools and networking spaces.
Efficacy: Providing a level of security and open communication that would be demonstrably less effective in a mixed-sex provision.
We (I) proudly stand by these aims to protect the integrity of womyn.network.
