<p>The instructions and ideas contained in this post could technically be used by any group that seeks to fly under the radar of the mainstream "clearnet". I write "female-only" because I started thinking about this after receiving many DMs from women on Ovarit asking if I could potentially in the future provide technical support for their own personal liberation projects. In case any of those women are reading this right now: I'm sorry I'm so busy! I'm trying to get back into my state's Vocational Rehabilitation Services program and also looking into if I'm eligible for Section 8 rent assistance so I can finally move out of the hellhole I call my parents' house. Plus, you know, living under a (borderline-)abusive household is rather draining on the psyche, and the lack of control over my own life makes me accidentally lash out at others in unproductive-at-best ways. I hope soon I'll get into a living situation that doesn't send me into an "I want to die" spiral every other night so I know what it's like to live without a constant fight-or-flight reflex tight in my chest.</p>

<p>A common theme in imageboards and other alt-tech spaces is a feeling that ranges from resentment (at best) to vitriol (at worst) at women as a class for not being as technologically literate as their male counterparts. Never mind that the damn field of study was <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221006024237/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace">invented by women in the first place</a>. I like to call the resulting spiral "the techbro cycle of exclusion", which goes as follows:</p>

<li>Men mock women for not knowing about the trendy piece of software <em>du jour</em> or not having the will or time to go looking for alternatives to websites they use daily, such as Facebook.</li>
