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.

There are a lot of good answers here that expand on broader social problems, so I'll focus on reasons given by men in my life.

  1. Equality is legally enshrined, therefore any women still complaining are just experiencing the same things as men and calling it misogyny

  2. A litany of reasons men are unfairly treated as well, all real, but taken out of the broader context of how much worse it is for women.

  3. Misogyny isn't real, people are just assholes.

  4. There are a codified differences between sexes and therefore different roles we need to fill, stepping outside those roles brings depression and misery.

Adding one I've heard: women are capable of granting the gift of life, which is the greatest ability and brings the greatest sense of fulfillment. So it all balances out.

They honestly thought this was a good argument.

So we can do this amazing thing… and that makes it okay to treat us worse?

Dafuc?

lol I read this to my hubby and he said ‘that’s like one guy saying ‘horses shouldn’t be made into glue!’ And another guy going ‘but they can run really fast so it’s okay!’

Equality is not legally enshrined everywhere.

To reiterate: These are reasons men have given me.
