We are a women’s only community, so please no male comments.

Edit: thanks all for reporting the hostile remarks! You really are an amazing group of people. Really appreciate how positive so many men have been as well. I see you all and value you ❤️

    Jesus christ. I saw a thread in some other community the other day about Women’s Stuff and the men wah-wah-wahing like little babies about this sub were ridiculous. Same thing - in that thread some man was saying that when he replied to threads here he felt like he had to walk on eggshells.

    You guys, all we want is one tiny corner of lemmy to ourselves. Somewhere we can talk about things that uniquely affect us -or- perhaps they affect men too but they affect us in a unique way due to our gender. And many men are cool with this concept and generally supportive (and a sincere thank you to those guys!) but a significant number are butthurt little babies about being unwanted here.

    Those are the same butthurt little babies in the Fox News poll. If you can’t keep it civil in the workplace I don’t know what to tell you other than you’re a low-quality human. Have some fucking empathy.

    Edit: here’s the post I was talking about.

      99.44% of Lemmy is dominated by men.

      One group out of thousand (maybe even tens of thousands by now!) asks men not to post.

      The more emotional gender melts down.

      It’s the circle of life.

      I looked at that thread earlier and there were so many disgusting comments in there. It reminds me of why I left reddit a few years ago. The API changes and discussion of alternate places led me here, but I left primarily because of all the rampant misogyny, transphobia, racism, etc and the mods and admins who refused to do anything about it.

      I really enjoy Blåhaj and the mods and admins here who actually care about kicking out bigots.

      Also feel like this is very relevant here: comic strip

        This, I miss the old Late Stage Capitalism Reddit circa 2016, 2015. I wish I could join a forum with those people again

      Or just talk about things without every single thread being about men and their shitty brittle little feelings and having to explain shit to them constantly because they’re dumber than rocks.

      Kinda typing this on rocks right now, and they retain informatuon pretty well.

      Yep! They have the whole rest of lemmy to hang out in we’re literally ONE group. I saw the thread but I was heartened to see how many men were standing up for is, plus a man warned me about the thread so we could protect ourselves. There were so many men there moaning that they couldn’t come here and tell us we were wrong.

        Both genders have the exact same amount of lemmy to hang out in. I dont understand why this community is so public if its meant to be a safe space. You can’t just post a sign that says “gurlz only” and expect it to actually work as a deterrent.

      Love this, these men on Lemmy need some feminism 101 and some training. This is good for them and will improve the Lemmy community overall. (Which is why the misogynists are mad about it)

      Unfortunately the link doesn’t work, could you tell me the name of the community? I’ve recently started using Reddit again because I lacked female content so much, knowing that such a community exists is amazing and I want to join

        I would guess the link was to a post on the lemmyshitpost community on lemmyworld. There was a meme that mentioned this community and is now gone.

        It was a meme about writing a “banger” comment and then deleting it to respect the women’s only rule. Discussion did what you would expect.

        This community here at womensstuff is a women’s only place that is quite nice.
