Millions of women are on Reddit. Among other reasons, they come here to create a community for themselves online that they may not have in their physical world and dive deeper into the topics they love most — and there are communities for just about any culture, identity, interest, hobby, or stage of life a woman identifies with. International Women’s Day is upon us (March 8th, mark your calendars!) and to celebrate, we’re sharing just a few or our favorite women-focused communities — from the long-standing OGs (looking at you r/twoxchromosomes) to the rising (psst.. r/actuallesbians). This list of communities is not exhaustive and we encourage you to consider what’s missing from it so that you can go out there and create your own.

r/twoxchromosomes

Celebrating its 11th anniversary this year, r/twoxchromosomes is one of the oldest and the 47th largest community on Reddit with 12.6M active subscribers. Labeled as a subreddit for “both serious and silly content, intended for women’s perspectives,” r/twoxchromosomes welcomes all genders so long as they are respectful of the community’s guidelines and fellow members. It’s a place for women seeking a community with whom they can share their voice or for anyone that is looking to expose themselves to more viewpoints on a variety of topics — and in today’s climate, those are both very good things. For many women, this subreddit often serves as a gateway to joining other more niche collectives on Reddit.

r/trollxchromosomes

If r/twoxchromosomes had a sarcastic twin, it would be r/trollxchromosomes. This is a home for women and allies of women to share political and social issue memes that pertain to — you guessed it — women. These memes often act as springboards for thoughtful discussion about the topic at hand. If you prefer your civil discourse served with humor, this community is worth checking out.

r/thegirlsurvivalguide

A subreddit created in 2012 for girls to share and discuss tips, r/thegirlsurvivalguide is like a crowd-sourced user manual for life that is constantly being added to. From the most awkward of period questions to suggestions for nailing a job interview, no stone goes unturned. Seriously, where was this community when I was navigating high school and college?

r/actuallesbians

A place for discussion among cisgender and transgender lesbians, bisexual women, allies, and everyone in between, r/actuallesbians is one of the more inclusive corners of the internet. In just a year and a half, r/actuallesbians has already amassed 226k members and is one of the largest LGBTQ communities on Reddit.

r/xxfitness

Don’t let its name deter you, this community is completely SFW. r/xxfitness is toning up for its 10 year anniversary this summer. Boasting over 374k members, this is the go-to subreddit for health and fitness-minded women and non-binary folks who are looking to share motivation, challenges, and regimens with their peers.

r/girlgamers

Ready Player 1? Whether you’re a diehard Halo fan or more of a Sims kind of girl, r/girlgamers is a space for ladies to talk about gaming and find fellow gamers to play with. The rules aren’t hard-and-fast though, they also discuss topics related to being a woman within the broader “geek” culture.

r/mommit

If you’re tired of being inundated with unrealistic expectations of motherhood on Instagram, Pinterest, and the like, you’re not alone. In fact, nearly 100k women have already formed a community to share their extremely real experiences of being a mom in r/mommit. Their motto: “We are people. Mucking through the ickier parts of child raising. It may not always be fun, awesome, and pretty, but we do it.” Finally, parenting content that isn’t picture perfect. Praise be.

r/ladiesofscience

r/ladiesofscience is just one of the many STEM-related corners of Reddit. Whether you’re a scientist, a wannabe scientist, or just a woman who loves science (which should be everyone because it’s awesome), your questions and thoughts are welcome here.

Happy International Women’s Day to all of our redditors who identify as women and their allies! Us Reddit Admins will be wearing white on Friday, March 6 to show our support and encourage you to celebrate in ways that feel meaningful to you. For more community insights, stay tuned to our blog.
