As I see how dangerous the world is becoming for women, I am seeing the urgency for women to come together with other women to protect ourselves against predatory males. As patriarchy becomes more and more dismantled, women are going to be raped, assaulted and killed at greater and greater rates. I'd like to buy a house with a lot of land in a rural area, in a cheap to live state, possibly Georgia, or in Puerto Rico as well, where Rad Fem women can live in community. We can grow own food, live off the land, teach ourselves about self defense via martial arts and train on guns, we can have a practice shooting area. We can have our own farm with chickens for egg, and other animals..And just support each other. There isn't anything like this in the world as far as I know. I don't have the logistics figured out, it would take a lot of help from every woman, but I think this is necessary.

I spoke to a person who wants to buy her own island for women only because she's tired of the crimes in Detroit, it's usually males who make that place into a dung hole.
But even if there is a community full of women nothing will protect us from males unless the whole world becomes a Matriarchy society, or even better Gynarchy.
What kind of protection do we have when we run our own countries and men decide to invade and enslave the women and girls there ? unless you believe in freedom or death and building weapons and blacksmithing for women at an early age then it's easy for men to take over the land once more.
with other words I'd love to have our gerudo town but we can't survive if we don't train the future generation of girls to be warriors.
Sounds great to me. I’m thinking of other rural areas with better laws though. Don’t stop brainstorming!
They should just send all the scrotey men to Mars to start colonizing there and leave us to take over the Earth👀
I think about this but I also worry sometimes if we truly have the patriarchy out of us since it is all we know. My concern is that while certain biological issues would be practically eliminated by virtue of there being no male bodies, I am not sure about psychological ones. Would we just end up recreating dynamics we have lived in our entire lives? Unnecessary hierarchies (outside of necessary leadership positions) that seek to rank women in terms of their value, creating subgroups considered less than, and demanding thought compliance?
I don’t think such segregated communities are a bad idea but I also think in establishing them we would have to take a hard look at what patriarchal concepts we have unconsciously espoused and root them out so they do not manifest too much in a new community…and commit to rectifying situations where we see them cropping up. Even on these forums, I see them at times, despite them not allowing men. Women are not a monolith so we’d really have to take into account differences of opinion in terms of what radical feminism is (aside from core foundational stuff) and decide what differences we can tolerate as a group (are we going to talk shit about the women who shave their legs or let it go? can the anitnatalists be tolerant of those who want children? how do we handle differences in opinion of how we address economic/racial/able bodied/etc. privilege within the group? this stuff all get muddy).
Anyway, I think such a group really has to define how restricted it wants to be in its radical feminism as even radfems come in all stripes, and when nuance of thought pops up- and it will- how we deal with it. Because after living in a society run by men, the last thing I’d want to do is pop over to another social group that mimics patriarchy via seeking out some kind of Lord of the Flies-esque dominance assertion BS, to value people based on their usefulness, and overreacts to any level of individuality (outside of, again, basic core values as stated by the group…a constitution i guess) as being a threat to the group.
