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.

Hey all! My housemate has moved out, she's not western so her standards of hygiene were different.

Her curtains and bedding smells awful. Her bedding is going to a local cat sanctuary, I washed them on a 2 hour 60 degree wash with double detergent and they still smell.

Her curtains are washable polycotton, how can I get the smell out of them?

Are you insinuating that anyone who isn’t a white European smells bad?

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

She is a white European.

Did mentioning the fact that she is not western add anything though? You could have just as easily said "my roommate was unhygenic and now her stuff smells bad"

I don't mean this in a judgemental way, it's just good for us all to think about the way unconscious bias peeks through when we speak.

Ah, so you're insinuating Europeans smell bad. That makes it better?

sigh

The purity checks of the western left are oh so wearying. I guess that's what happens when you don't have actual problems in your life. You make problems up to get offended by.
