Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

The meme literally talks about when men harass women. But women need to chill out?

Please read the rules for this community.

Okay I admit I didn't read that. In that scenario I get you guys

As an aside, telling men "no" does not always work. Sometimes women do need to resort to saying they're "owned" by another man for men like this to back off. Because ultimately men like this do not see women as people that deserve respect, they view women as objects.

Just something to think about next time you want to believe all men are good and respectful.

I'm aware. I never want to intrude and women don't initiate in my country so I've got strong arms and a sad heart

If you were aware, you wouldn't assert that men would take a "no" the same way as "I have a boyfriend".

Read through the comments in this thread. There's quite a good discussion around approaching people with the intent to date.

Ah sexism

Well why federate at all then

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Because there's women and femmes and enbies in the fediverse.

[–] TheparishofChigwell@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yes but there is no way you read rules on every single subforum before you post either

Jeez I get it enough already go cluck around and I'll make sure to mute you shithole

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

You are the type of man the meme is talking about btw.

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 8 points 1 month ago

Alternatively, why subscribe to a community when you don't agree with the rules?

Or, if you browse by 'all' for some godforsaken reason, why not be aware that different communities have different rules?

There's a comm called dullmensclub (or similar, my brain is bad rn), and I stay out of it cuz im not a man.

Ah but don’t you see? The entire internet is for men and it’s sexist for women to gather on our own. We must have male escorts lest we devolve into misandry and witchcraft as women do when left on our own.
