I am a writer of articles, poetry and feminist polemic who has been censored/
hidden/ deleted on 15 separate occassions from the Indy.ie Newswire.

I am not the only one.
There is a policy amongst the male editors to hide/delete/censor
anything which is 'outside' of their experience.

One of the things which is outside their experience is ' being a woman',
or being a woman who writes without a mask- and really gets up their noses.

I am not sure how one asks that an indymedia should be disaffilated
for acting against the ideology of open-newswire, or indeed for having
the same editorial team since it's inception in the 26 counties.

The idea of an anti-patriarchy section is in Irish parlance:
'completely beyond the pale'.
The idea of a Northern Irish Indymedia has not happened.
A 'womyn's' indymedia is in process.

Thank you UK Kollectives for operating an open newswire
which reflects diversity of opinion.

Any girls who would like to join or take part in feminist outreach
in the IMC Global Network can volunteer as feminist Outreach
or tech volunteers through the global site.

There is a womyn's indymedia discussion list available.
[I shall add the link as a comment].
There are also womyn at indymedia chat spaces.
and a colective project to bring womyn's voices into IMC.

* The Womyn's Indymedia Project is a creation of a space wherin
women who use and develop tech have a room to develop
ideas and images pertinent to our experience.Its quite common
for tech to be male-dominated and subject to little cliques.
