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.

hmmmm, really depends . . . . I know some women who hate men, because their fathers were assholes who abused their mothers. I completely understand why such women would hate men categorically, because they were raised horribly by the first man they encountered in life.

It really sucks for men like me, who were raised with love, but because of other men who weren't raised right, I'm thrown in the same bucket as the abusers because well, I'm just a man, right?

Gently, I think this is a comment is worth bringing up somewhere, but better posed on c/mensliberation or elsewhere. Women just want a space to vent amongst ourselves, and this is the space designated for that, per rule #1. If you're one of the good ones like you say, then you have nothing to worry about, your actions will show through and don't need to interject in this particular space.

That is reinforcing the statement in the meme that women hate men as a system.

Even here, you're blaming these men's parents for not raising them right which is interesting.

There are men that are abusers. If you're not, then why do you lump yourself in with those types of men?

Good point. Yes absolutely it's about how they were raised, but abusive men have responsibility for their choices
