A wiki is a knowledge-base like an encyclopedia, but managed by the public. The FeministWiki specializes on feminism, and is managed by feminists and their supporters. Further, the FeministWiki platform offers an integrated "digital home" for feminists, consisting of a chat, forum, email accounts (''janedoe@feministwiki.org''), per-member and shared file storage, and more. To become a member, all you need to do is contact an existing member and let them know about your commitment to the feminist cause. You can also contact the project's technician at [mailto:admin@feministwiki.org admin@feministwiki.org] or [https://twitter.com/FeministWiki @FeministWiki] on Twitter. | A wiki is a knowledge-base like an encyclopedia, but managed by the public.

As such, a feminist community cannot possibly support all ideologies that have been labelled feminism. The FeministWiki is for feminists who adhere to a relatively straightforward and classical interpretation of feminism: the liberation of female people from male supremacy. This is sometimes called ''radical feminism'' because male supremacy is a radical notion for many people, and its elimination requires radical changes to society. | ||
Male supremacy refers to social and political systems that use stereotypes, myths, discrimination, belittlement, violence, and other means to keep female people down, so male people can exploit them for domestic labor, sexual enjoyment, reproductive work, or even unearned emotional support.
