Femosphere
Collection of feminist online communities
Summary
The femosphere is an umbrella term for a diverse ecology of online communities, content creators, and spaces centred on women's experiences of gender, dating, and relationships. The term was coined by feminist media researcher Jilly Boyce Kay, who defined it as a loose network of female-centric online spaces that emerged primarily from 2018 onward, partly in reaction to the manosphere. While some scholars characterise the femosphere as broadly misandrist and a gender-flipped mirror of the manosphere, others have emphasised its internal variation, noting that communities within it differ considerably in size, ideology, and intent.
