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…
- 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.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

The big move here is nod along silently to this post, secure in the knowledge that, whether or not the poster you're contemplating is a dyed-in-the-wool misandrist or merely venting their frustrations with males in general, you are a Cool And Well Adjusted Dude who need not worry if he is One of the All Men or the Not All Men. You, Cool And Well Adjusted Dude, may simply say to yourself "a woman's lot is hard and many women online bond over commisserating that fact, and indeed they may paint the male sex in a broad brush that is not perhaps fair to all males, but that is their business and I will leave them to it here on the Women's Spaces online chat community." Then you go about your day, secure in the knowledge that whether or not anyone even knows or recognizes you for your efforts, you are not one of these Philistine maladjusted males the women likely gripe at. You simply are you, and you are not insecure and do not need to check and ask permission to dwell in the venting spaces of the females, and even if you are not wanted in such places, you realize, you are also not needed.
Being a man can be whatever you want, but most would agree it most definitely does not involve being a wet blanket and injecting this very tired Not All Men script into every single one of these venting communities.
Hey everyone reporting this thanks so much for keeping our community safe! If you read the comment properly you can see it's supportive
Not if you're a butthurt male it's not :)
did you bother to read the women-only rules of this sub, or are you just oblivious to where you post?
Genuinely curious: what do you do to make life as a woman easier?
