According to their webpage Refinery29 is :-Refinery29 is the leading global media company focused on young women. We inspire, entertain, and empower our audience through optimistic and diverse storytelling, experiences, and points of view.
Why then in money diaries does the women writing the diary have to state her pronoun as in she/her.
Why the need for this?

Refinery29 are straight down the line adherents to gender identity ideology and would cheerfully dispense with just about all women's rights if they conflicted with what trans activists demanded.

Kind of like the Womens Council of Ireland who state
"Feminism is a core and essential value of our organisation. This means we consistently act to achieve true equality for all women and girls."

And then follow it up with
By ‘woman’ we refer to any person who identifies as a woman.

Yup. I stopped reading them when I discovered feminism.

They published that opinion piece where two liberal feminists yelled at ('cisgender') survivors of rape for not being inclusive enough towards trans women survivors of rape, right? I probably have the original saved somewhere, as someone later edited the published opinion piece because they received so many complaints. To make it sound less misogynistic.

So no, not particularly pro-women, that site.

Their misogyny rap sheet is so long I was tempted to post some links there's not really any point. It's best to direct attention to publications and people where there's a chance of them acknowledging that there are conflicting rights.

I think for the CEOs (male) 'women' is 100% a commercial marketing category. 'People we can sell shit to' would be their definition I expect.
