Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.
No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.
We love art credits when possible.

There are 19,102 women's health centers in the US. There are 233 men's health centers in the US.
Yeah, our society totally doesn't care about women's health ๐
Medicine has always assumed a male patient, which is why it's redundant to call something a men's hospital and why it's necessary to specify a women's health center. Women are the "other" under patriarchy, and men the default.
Women weren't even included in clinical trials in the US until 1993.

Simone de Beauvoir's Second Sex covers a lot of ground about women being the "other" in case you wanted more on that.
Beautifully executed.
