By using The Feminist Files, you agree to these terms, to our Content Policy, and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
2. Anonymous participation
You do not need an account. Choose a display name or stay anonymous. Remember that anonymity is a feature, not a guarantee — never share personal information that you would not want public.
3. Your content
You keep ownership of what you post. By publishing on The Feminist Files, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, display, and distribute your content on the site and in connected editorial activities (such as the monthly competition, social promotion with attribution, and archives). Submitting an article does not guarantee publication.
4. Prohibited content and conduct
Do not post: illegal content; hate speech or targeted harassment; doxxing; sexual content involving minors; spam, scams, or self-promotion; or material that endangers someone's safety.
5. Moderation and takedowns
Editors may hide, pin, lock, or remove content, and may disqualify competition entries, at their discretion and without notice. If you see content that violates this policy, use the report button or contact us directly. We respond to lawful takedown requests promptly.
6. The monthly competition
Articles that meet the published theme and deadline criteria auto-enter the monthly competition. Prizes, judging, and winner selection are described on the Competition page. Editors' decisions are final.
7. Disclaimer of warranties and liability
The site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not responsible for the accuracy of user-generated content or third-party resources listed in the directory. Resources (helplines, laws, NGOs) are informational only and not professional advice.
