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.

I mean, yeah. Why not?
Mainly those are skills that take time to master, and we live in an age of specialization where we make a living by doing specific things well and getting paid by people who do things we don't do. I've learned a few skills related to home maintenance and remodeling because I found them interesting. Years ago I rebuilt the engine in my old VW bus. That was enough car mechanic work for me in this lifetime. Just my thing. I'm also not interested in raising and butchering animals, and I find vegetable gardening tedious. Just a different point of view I guess. I don't see any ethical problems with paying somebody else to prepare my meat, or put out fires, or arrest burglars, replace roofing, etc.
You're being pedantic about my old fashioned idea.
Yeah but it's good old-fashioned pedantry, as our ancestors would have wanted.
