Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Who's in charge of what is and is not "intolerant"?
that's the problem
For example, Christianity, Islam, Judaism are ALL intolerant faiths by their own admission.
Shhh Redditors really like this idea.
i'd say it's relative to your culture. if you're a liberal woman growing up in iran or saudi arabia you're gonna hate your life.
but this opens up genuine discussions about right/wrong and whatever else.
the fact of the matter is that we just make up everything about humans and their relations as we go along. there is no real right or wrong, there's just perspective in any given moment in time and context.
if there are 34738434739473 iranian women who support their lifestyle and 40000 who don't then who's right?
according to americans the minority is right, but we pretend that they aren't in america when it comes to domestic concerns.
whoa.
I know of a guy with a funny mustache who solves this problem by being intolerant of the... Hey wait a minute..
They've been murdering each other over their religious disagreements for more than a thousand years, long before he ever came along. He just used them, like a tool, to reach his own ends.
He gave those who believe in such tripe the opportunity to exercise their beliefs "legally". They are waiting for another opportunity to do their holy work, always. Something something "chosen people", there can be only one.
