Loopy Feminist Website Can’t Give Its Bizarre Content Away, Wants To Charge $120 Per Year

The founders of a loopy feminist website dedicated to social justice causes continue to beg America for cash so they won’t have to shut down.

The latest gambit of the five-year-old website, Everyday Feminism, is a membership program which will charge readers $120 each year for free content.

“Over the years, you’ve come to rely on Everyday Feminism to help you understand what’s happening and what you can do about it,” the membership program spiel pleads.

“But, like so much in our society right now, Everyday Feminism might not make it if our community of loyal readers doesn’t come together to support this important work.”

“Across the media industry, dropping ad rates are wreaking havoc. Companies are being forced to lay people off and, sometimes, even shut down.”

The nutty feminist website is asking readers to pony up $10 each month.

“If only 4,000 of you sign up for a $10/month membership (the cost of a Netflix account!) we will no longer be in danger of shutting down,” the plea for cash says.

Everyday Feminism prefers that its readers provide handouts via credit card. However, the website will also accept checks.

The mailing address at which Everyday Feminism says it will receive checks is located in the student union complex at taxpayer-funded Florida State University: 75 N Woodward Ave #87683, Tallahassee, Florida.

Membership levels range from $5 each month (“supporter”) to $40 each month (“defender”). “Defenders” of Everyday Feminism will pay $480 each year for the site’s “free” content.

Independent journalist Robert Stacy McCain has noted that Everyday Feminism’s income streams are obscure. The website had previously appeared to run few — if any — advertisements.

Now, there are ads. Current advertisers include the Mattress Firm, Jewel-Osco, and Sub-Zero, the fancypants refrigerator company.

However, the ladies who oversee Everyday Feminism would prefer to avoid the low indignity of advertising.

“Being financially sustainable means you will continue getting the life-changing articles you’ve come to expect from us, without the worry of us disappearing — ever,” they say. “As icing on the cake, it also means we’ll be able to go ad-free. That’s great, because we all hate ads!”

Stories currently on the front page of Everyday Feminism include “5 Badass Muslim Women Who Have Led Feminist Movements Around the World” and “Should Light-Skinned People of Color Voluntarily Exclude Ourselves from People of Color Spaces?”

Past stories which appeared at Everyday Feminism include “Healing from Toxic Whiteness” and “5 Ways Mexican Queerness Is a Radical Act Against Colonialism and Machismo.”

Back in May, Everyday Feminism warned of “scary financial trouble that’s threatening to put a halt to our work” unless it received a massive, immediate cash infusion.

America “shouldn’t have to live in a world without independent feminist media” or “an [sic] unique, educational, inside-out approach to fighting everyday oppression,” the website said at the time.

“It’s quite a challenge, to say the least, to create independent, intersectional feminist media in a financially sustainable way, especially in a world that doesn’t value what we do.”

According the “About Everyday Feminism” webpage, the site works “to amplify and accelerate the progressive cultural shifts taking place across the US and the world.” The site also helps people “apply intersectional feminism and compassionate activism to their real everyday lives.” (RELATED: Thousands Of Women Will Wear Pink, Knitted ‘Pussy Power Hats’ To Protest Trump)

The term “intersectionality” means the study of links — “intersections” — between different forms of oppression and discrimination. The idea is to bind different groups of fringe activists together. Frequently, however, the concept tends to lead to friction because various fringe activists accuse others of putting insufficient focus on their particular, obscure causes.

Everyday Feminism claims to be “one of the most popular feminist digital media sites in the world.” The founder and CEO is Sandra Kim, “a person with multiple marginalized identities.”

The staff of Everyday Feminism has not detailed the site’s financial troubles of how they began.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
