Does anybody else get on fds and just have a moment of calm where it’s like things just make sense for a minute. every post is relatable, im not rolling my eyes because some girls bikini body is getting shoved into my face every two minutes like Facebook or insta or anything else. I almost Feel like I’m in some secret cult here or rather an elite secret society. And then I have this moment where I’m like, this is clearly such a demanded thing for women, why can’t this type of content and info be everywhere? Why the fuck is fds not between cosmo and seventeen??? And then I remember, oh yea….. the same reason that brought me here

This, amen. I’m new, and I feel like I’ve across a goldmine of info that I had no idea about, & a community of women with values that I can’t find in the people in my life. Not in my family, my friends or colleagues.
This place is a refuge for me. I check it often for the wisdom all you women offer and the sense of solidarity. I feel stronger since joining this community. And I've committed even more to my own growth and prioritizing myself unapologetically .
I come here for respite from pickmes, honestly I don't know where I would be without FDS. Since finding FDS a few years ago I've changed careers into something I adore, gotten fit, and absolutely love my life and my space. My mental health was always in the toilet when I tried to incorporate men into my life and it took FDS to make me wake the fuck up. Although I have a nice bunch of female friends to socialise with, literally every one of them is in a questionable relationship that makes me wince. Most of them are "on board" with FDS principles, in theory - but of course, can't seem to apply it to their own lives. I keep most of them at a safe arm's length, for my own sanity.
Agreed, this is one of my favorite spaces online and has changed my life.
Yes. This group keeps me sane. I only wish I could be more public about it and shout it from the rooftops so other women know, too. We all deserve this solidarity and support!
Whenever I read some dumb shit on the internet that infuriates me I always think 'better go on FDS' and it calms me down. It's a real refuge of sanity.
Same! I love all you gals. It feels real, supportive and special to me. this is my IG, FB and twitter
FDS lifts a lifetime of societal gaslighting off of women's shoulders. It was never us. it's always been them.
And they said we wouldn't last. HA! Still here, still going strong, still growing our members.
Same here. I've known about FDS for what I think is over a year now and it's such a great place to learn to centre myself again and call things as they are.
Even when I get mad at certain people in FDS or strongly disagree with a few things, even those people have something to offer that is helpful. Today, I saw someone’s comment about what kind of person not to choose, to let those mindsets and behaviors get extinguished and it really helped me, even though it came from someone I may not particularly get along with irl
Oh my God imagine an FDS magazine... that would be incredible! You could have one aimed at adult women and then the teen version too. I grew up reading Bliss and Mizz (aimed at tweens) and pretty much every page is about boys or make up for the male gaze. Then you have Cosmo and Glamour telling us how feminist they are when again every page is about catering to men.
FDS has improved all of our lives greatly. Forever thankful for it. And yes, it is a women's secret society.
