ONLY WOMEN AND TRANS+ WOMEN INC NON BINARY ARE ALLOWED TO POST. WE ARE A WOMEN ONLY COMMUNITY

See full rules below

Welcome to WomensStuff! We are here for all things women. Examples include…

  1. Fashion, style, make up
  2. Feminism, patriarchy
  3. Friendly chit chat with other women.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (eg non binary) is welcome
  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.

Please see our twinned community !dadforaminute@lemmy.world They’re WomensStuff’s official male cheerleaders, and great for when you need dad advice or hugs… They’re also a great way for male posters to support women.

    I know it says men can’t post, but does that include comments?

    If we can’t comment either perhaps it would be cool for post makers to add a tag if they want male input or not.

    Either way cool space and wish you all a nice time.

    Just noticed this now and just want to say, it’s very cool of you to include NB people. While I currently fall somewhere under that banner, I’m also my biggest doubter and harshest bully so I probably still wouldn’t feel right participating but at least I can feel better about reading and upvoting things.

    Thanks for making quite a big difference to this place, btw. Before you came along, the landscape here as far as women-centric stuff goes looked particularly bleak and gave me the impression that there had even been hostility towards any women’s spaces that tried to exist here (which also means that the decision to limit participation here was the right call to start this place off).

    But not just that, even just posting random inconsequential questions goes a long way to making this place more alive and friendly. Makes me realise that this place doesn’t need millions of users, it just needs a few more users like you that make a noticeable splash and difference. So I hope you keep it up lol. And thanks for helping make this place worth sticking around in.

      Mate that’s such a kind thing to say, thanks for taking the time to write it out! It’s a really good bunch here which makes it easy. And it’s ok that you’re not ready to post, whenever you are we’re ready to chat with you ❤️

    Would this be welcome too: women venting about their partners, talking about medical problems/conditions women have (even sex-related), birth control, bras and how they fit, parenthood, etc.? Just getting a feel for the place.

    do you mind men participating as long as they don’t center the space on themselves, or do you not want them to participate at all?

      Thanks for asking, it’s really decent of you. For now it’s women only (although I really value positive men like you)

        Does this extend to reading/joining the community without posting liking etc. As well or is reading okay?

        I know one can’t really enforce this but I would like to respect it if you say men shouldnt be here and read.

          I’m honestly blown away by you asking, it’s really respectful. You’re welcome to read, only if women did ask for it to be more locked down, that might change. But liking and reading is fine 🙂

    I’m a guy and this’ll be my only comment here but am wishing you the best! Always nice to see spaces for women.

    I am a guy and saw a general question about what tea folks recommend. I love tea and dont think my gender would get in the way of that discussion, but I understand that this is supposed to be a community with just women.

    Do you recommend I stay out of discussions like that? There really isn’t anyone talking about tea on Lemmy and I yearn for it.

    No worries either way.
