This is a women-only discussion community. If you do not identify as a women or fall under the umbrella cited in the community sidebar, then please refrain from posting or replying.

We’re fighting a losing battle. This is a space where we are very clearly not wanted, and we cannot discuss women’s issues without hostility.

Keep it limited to makeup and fashion, I guess, unless you want to be brigaded!

I’m over it. Let the boys have their playground. Lemmy is not a space that is welcoming to women, and, because of that, unless sweeping changes are made, I just don’t see myself ever recommending it to any women as a good place to make a community.

I’m not going to contribute to its growth or content any longer. “PROGRESSIVE” space. Garbage. Absolute fucking hypocrisy. I’m so sick of having to explain myself and be made to feel like I need to justify my existence here.

Good luck, sisters. I’m desperate for community, but this feels more like a battleground than it does a home.

We appreciate the sideline supporters who respect the community rules & expectations and are respectful enough to not interject. You are very much loved and respected, brothers. 🫶

EDIT: This community & its moderators have been nothing but kind & respectful to men who post here, and are constantly shit on & downvoted because of it.

I have resorted to being hostile! And I see very little difference in how this is being received compared to them.

My blood pressure too high rn.

EDIT 2: Mods… I’m sorry for leaving you to find this dumpster fire of a thread! I gotta go to bed and I’m sick of trying to explain things to people who don’t actually care or want to understand.

Women: attempt to foster & curate their own community to talk about women-centric issues and experiences without being drowned out by majority voices

    Perfect! There’s a group meeting in a park. They are all in a circle chatting with each other. Is it your right to suddenly start inserting yourself into the discussion? Do you often do that to strangers talking amongst themselves?

    Boundaries ≠ misandry.

    Small group dedicated to a minority community ≠ misandry.

    Do you often interject in amputee communities talking about their struggles? Cancer survivors? Abuse victims? Groups with a common experience that they’d like to share with people who often experience the same struggles trying to find solidarity in a community?

    But no. Please talk over us!

    Fuck off.

      You aren’t “chatting with eachother” you are screaming at passerbys that they cannot join your chat. You are walking up to them. Nobody is “talking over you”.

      And no, I don’t interject in amputee communities, or any you mentioned, because those communities don’t interest me at all, just as yours didn’t interest me (and not because I’m “a man”, because that’s not who I am). But one thing that they don’t do, is preface all posts with “YOU HAVE TO BE AN AMPUTEE TO POST HERE”. You don’t do that on a public forum that reaches everyone.

      This is not how you create a private community, plain and simple.

      Your comic is cute, except for the tiny fact that the three red guys never left and never made their own box.

        My bad! This space isn’t really ours because we didn’t create it from scratch.

        “Leave Lemmy because you can’t have your own space! Because people like me will come and invade it after you asked me not to! 😎 haha gotcha!”

        I have no expectation of privacy when posting in places like this. The men spectating while respectfully not commenting are watching you be a fucking embarrassment. “Look! Anyone can be a dickwad! Even me! Don’t tell me not to comment! Hehehe!”

        We get it. You suck and enjoy continually harassing women. Wow. Super. Congrats, I guess. Sincerely hope you repeatedly stub your smallest toe on every piece of furniture in your home.

          For a third time, I don’t identify as a man. You are making a lot of assumptions here about everyone.

          Edit: also, nobody is telling you to “leave lemmy”. Stop putting words in my mouth.

            You can be a woman and your opinions can still suck! They’re not mutually exclusive.

            If you’re unhappy with a women’s-only community with its own set of community guidelines, you don’t have to be here.

              I’m not identifying as a woman either. And yes, you can be a woman and have your opinions suck, as evident by your behavior towards me and the countless assumptions you keep making.

              I won’t be replying to you anymore, you have shown me the kind of person you are repeatedly and I don’t want to talk to you.

        “Hello! This is a women-only community! Please don’t post here if you do not identify as a women or fall under the trans/enby umbrella! Thank you!”

        you are screaming at passerbys that they cannot join your chat. You are walking up to them. Nobody is “talking over you”.

        You literally waltzed over into this community and got mad we said “no thank you”

        🤡

          Why are you quoting a rule that doesn’t apply to me(one that I’m not breaking)? Who is this “we”?
