Mad Fucking Witches
Mad Fucking Witches (MFW) is an Australian feminist skate collective and community group that uses skateboarding as a tool for empowerment, inclusivity, and challenging gender norms.
Background
- MFW (Mad Fucking Witches) is an Australian feminist collective and online platform known for its confrontational, satirical, and left-wing commentary on gender, politics, and pop culture.
- The site emerged from the Australian blogosphere and social-media scene in the late 2010s, gaining attention for its aggressive take-no-prisoners style that blends humour, rage, and sharp cultural criticism.
- The name itself is a deliberate, ironic reclamation of gendered slurs — the collective aims to weaponise the anger that women and non-binary people are often told to suppress.
- MFW covers a wide range of topics, including Australian domestic politics, online misogyny, media analysis, and feminist theory, often from an intersectional perspective.
- It functions as both a content publisher and a loose community hub, with written essays, podcasts, and a lively social-media presence.
