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.

Same here! What do I do to get DMs from whiny manosphere types?
Am I the only one happy not to be getting those sorts of DMs?
Nah I’m also fine without.
I'm more amused about it than anything. I will fully admit I used Reddit and similar sites for conversing and such before and my comments on Lemmy are very similar. But the amount of screeching manosphere types are SO LOUD on Lemmy! It's astonishing the kinds of things people say to me here.
I call out bullshit when I see it, but I'm rather kind and positive in general. So when I've got a message telling me that my attitude is why women should be subjugated or raped, I feel a little pride in upsetting a truly horrible person just by being myself.
Well done for putting up with it ... it's amazing how online discourse just keeps on getting worse. But then I remember just a tiny number if the IRL atrocities that have happened and are happening now, and I wonder how I could be surprised at all.
They're determined to drive women to either misandry or subjugation, and I don't understand why.
Territorial, maybe? Women are ‘invading their spaces’ (i.e. the job market, sports teams…) so they have to chase us away to defend their territory?
Not sure about that, since it's men like them who defined those as "their spaces" in the first place ... they would only be happy if every space was their space.
Right; they declared it their territory, all kids keep off the lawn, and then us women just stroll on in like we want jobs and money and hobbies and all the other stuff they said was theirs, no touchie!
And they don’t want every space as their space, just every one that gets them a good wage (defending hunting grounds?), or good recognition (keeping a higher place in the tribe?). Like, brewing beer and doing computer work (for example) were a woman’s space until men realized they could make a lot of money at that stuff.
FR I really think it’s a tribalism/territorial thing. I mean, pretty much all humans are kinda tribal/territorial but a lot of men seem to especially be so?
Men can't stand it when a woman has more than them, whether being a supervisor in the workplace or being better than them at a skill or knowledge or any other metric. The men that don't act as threatened just consider themselves higher on the ladder. The ones that know they're at the bottom screech harder about women even existing in their spaces because of it.
All good points, though I think it's also about control and power over others, of which women are the most readily available others
I like the cool people here more than I’m bothered by the assholes, I guess lol
Same same :-)
My wondering why was aimed at the whiny chuds
Oh yeah who knows probably just driven by insecurity and anger, bypassing any sort of introspection and lashing out at others instead.
Mmm :-/
No, but it could be server choice.
Not really. I was joking about being jealous. 😉
Ah, fair enough ... carry on o7
