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.

Call out sexist comments from other men.

You arent an ally if you only pay lip service to the women in your life and never say anything to the men.

[–] LadyButterfly@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Yep! Being silent is being complicit

Wear skirts. I know a few guys who will unapologetically wear skirts. They don't consider it cross dressing, they just find them comfortable.

Skirts are great, more people should be able to wear them without getting odd looks.

It doesn't make sense that we somehow decided skirts/dresses are for women and trousers for men. Skirts provide airflow to keep testicles cool. Men are the ones who should be actively pushed by society to wear skirts.

Based in genital structure men should really be the ones wearing skirts and women should be wearing pants.

Right? Makes way more sense for keeping bits cool.

Have you had a chance to take a look at the rules for this comm by chance?

[–] Simon_Shitewood@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have - my name is mostly unrelated to my identity, I just enjoy defaming my MP.

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

That's cool :)

Only downside of skirts is that they keep flying up when bicycling :(

Other than that, they're great!

I collected a bunch of "chub rub shorts" from Snag Tights for just this reason! Well and to stop my thighs from becoming red and angry from walking haha

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 7 points 1 week ago

Yep, shorts are the way.

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

Oohh that’s a good one. Would love to see more men embrace the skirt!

Understand the concept of no?

Thought tbh, the men i have around me aren't like that, but the amount of horrible shit I read in women's communities is horrific.

Shutting up and actually listening for once when women tell them about the fucked up shit other men do

Was having a discussion with a guy about the masturbating arseholes in dollar tree. Mentioned that this is a good example of failure because women don't do that shit

"Yeah but those guys are just arseholes". And i pointed out that dude, not the point. Women don't do this shit. "Only because they can't ejaculate on you" the guy could. Not. Conceive of the fact that masturbating on a fucking stranger in a dollar tree is not a thing that occurs to women to do. And when it sank in "I wouldn't do that, that's a really shitty way to look at an entire gender"

And we get fucking nowhere because their ears are purposefully deaf

Have long styled hair, wax, wear kilts, apply eyeshadow. Value their feminine and childish qualities more. Shame other men for being patriarchal. Quit with the athletic aesthetic already.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

A few of my guy friends have the most gorgeous long hair. They also fully embrace painting their nails. It's the best.

Wash their hands after going to the toilet.
Sit down to wee if using a normal home type toilet.

Respect the boundaries of this community and of women in general, so far I haven't seen any of them here but I can almost guarantee some asshole will comment on this post when they aren't allowed here.

remove their body hair. i know its like a meme at this point how women are expected to remove our body hair, but personally i have a sensory thing about hair so i prefer to remove as much of my body hair as possible. i also prefer my partners to be smooth to some extent, but im finding it matters to me less than it used to. anyway i still find most men to be way too hairy for my taste, which kind of sucks because i do have some attraction to men and would like to explore it, but so many men just do nothing about even their pubic hair let alone their body hair. so many of them expect us to be hairless so its only fair they do some hair removal too.
