feminetik.se opened on 13 September 2003 and has from its inception had the ambition to strengthen the feminist struggle by offering all feminists are a meeting place and a chance to express themselves on the Internet. feminetik.se based on simple and clear principles. Everyone who calls herself a feminist and stick to feminetik.se's Rules may become a member. We have no official definition of what feminism is, but welcomed the meeting and the dynamics of what separates the feminists. This is to reduce the gaps between different orientations and for feminists of all ages, gender, sexuality, provenance and other political opinion shall feel at home here. All members receive just as much space and place in the debate that the member takes, within the limits of good diskussionssed. Here lies the strength of feminetik.se; we have no board, no political platform, no statutes. Everyone speaks for itself. The result is a site online where we can demonstrate feminist diversity, ability to internal criticism, attempts to understand and propose solutions. feminetik.se thus provides a very different view of feminism than the one presented in the media. feminetik.se also offers the opportunity for real change work, when feminists across the country may come into contact with each other and cooperate on the very issues they consider important. Our members represent a tremendous bank of knowledge and inspiration. By feminetik.se, companies, organizations, students and journalists in contact with feminist writers / speakers / interviewees and more. In order to meet members' needs have feminetik.se also a section for people who do not call themselves feminists. Opponents are invited therefore to side to ask questions and discuss feminism. This gives feminetik.se yet another dimension, where internal criticism and discussion, supplemented by external one. feminetik.se financing from its owners of their own pockets, along with the donations of individuals generously donate. All in feminetik.se's crew is working volunteers.
