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.

I work in a very male dominated office and profession. We have a young lady who occasionally gets things mansplained to her and she will use the loudest "Janice from Friends" type of nasally "Woooooooooow" over and over disrupting his explanation until he just turns and walks away.

All the guys on our team love it and find it hilarious. We also find ways to slip in our own "Woooooooooow" when talking to that guy over a few days just to drive the point home.

hey there, thanks for your comment and for backing up your colleague! Unfortunately this community has a rule that only women are permitted to comment, so please don't make further comments in /c/WomensStuff. Hope you understand! 💛

My apologies, I didn't mean to intrude. Just thought it was a unique and obvious way to get rid of someone by making it awkward for them. Figured I'd pass it along.

No worries at all, it happens all the time - just wanted to raise awareness. 😊
