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…

  1. 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.
  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.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I think it's excellent! I've been saying for decades that men aren't animals, the ones that are dangerous are usually choosing to be. If a dog can resist a cooked chicken a man can stop himself from hurting a woman

Except dogs don't choose to want chicken.

Sorry, I know I'm not supposed to post here, but I don't see how this isn't super sexist. Which is fine, if that's what you're going for, but your comment implies otherwise. Eating meat is part of the dog's basic natural instinct, so this meme presupposes that all men naturally want to hurt women, just "the good ones" have been trained to suppress those instincts. Again, if sexism is the goal, good job (and I totally get it, a lot of men suck really really hard and sex/gender inequality is still rampant in our society). If not, you might want to reassess your interpretation. Don't worry, I'll go now.

Thanks so much for sharing your opinion! Sadly you are right, you aren't supposed to post you so you've been banned. Have a lovely Christmas ❤️

The people to block just love to self-ID, don't they?

If a dog can resist a cooked chicken

I dunno if it's because i'm overly cynical, or because I've only ever had cats, but I feel like that dog isn't abstaining from chicken because of morals, but for fear of punished by the woman sitting next to it.

Exactly, and in comparison most men I've known don't want to rape. If anything it seems some are trained to want to commit sexual violence rather than to be trained to resist an innate urge to do so.

You're not supposed to punish dogs (or children for that matter), but reward them for good and wanted behavior. Positive reinforcement learning has a much bigger effect that negative reinforcement. I trained my dog to wait for a signal before eating without any punishments, just rewards when she does what I want. So the dog might not have any "morals" that are keeping it from eating that, but it's not fear either.
