Then, search for a location. Let’s say you live in Melbourne and you see that Melbourne doesn’t have a page yet. No problem! You can create the Melbourne page yourself (or ask me to do it for you, which I really don’t mind… contact me at gynopediawiki@gmail.com for help of any kind). | ||

Then, when you go into the ‘Edit’ view, paste in the template (provided in the [[Gynopedia Guidelines]]), which is the basic format of all the topics and subtopics, and you’re good to go.

Right now, very few people know about Gynopedia yet, and that’s okay. Gotta start somewhere, right? But I do know that, if this site will be at all useful or relevant to users, we need to get the word out. That’s the only way that people will begin to read, contribute, edit, translate and enjoy this wealth of information. So, if you can help spread the word, whether it’s sharing this post on social media or even just telling some friends, that would be so incredibly helpful, and we thank you. | Right now, very few people know about Gynopedia yet, and that’s okay.

So, to wrap things up, here’s what I’m trying to say: We talk about women’s bodies all the time. And yet we provide so little autonomy, despite the endless scrutiny. I’m no health expert or seasoned tech entrepreneur. But I’m someone who has been uninsured, in need of medication/health care, and lost in cities many times. And that’s just me. There are millions of women who have it much worse -- cut off from information and progressive health care, isolated from so many resources. So, that’s it. I got fed up with the state of things, so now I feel crazy passionate about this new ‘lil website. | So, to wrap things up, here’s what I’m trying to say: We talk about women’s bodies all the time.
