Because there are people who ask why there is no International Men's Day and no Straight Pride.

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.

But being straight is illegal in so much of the world! And adult men are so often murdered by adult wome!
Oh no wait...

Because people like my father and one of the local elected officials I work with say, out loud and in public and to my face, that women don't belong in the work force, sigh.
• Abortion is not legal everywhere or severely restricted and/or criminalised
• The right to become a woman is limited in many places
• The wage gap (women often get paid 20% less!)
• In some places, women still cannot vote at all
• Or we cannot buy things of our own
• We cannot always travel home safely unlike men, and have to inform each other where we are
To name a few!
Because there are people demanding to see women's genitals in the bathroom on the off chance one of them has a penis (the possession of which is frowned upon for some reason)
Yep! If trans+ people bother you that much pee at home.
I live alone, so have a group chat with several friends and family members with the sole purpose of me sharing my location whenever I'm going home from somewhere alone at night and telling them when I arrived safely.
There are of course many bigger reasons, especially if you look worldwide. But sometimes it's worth looking at all the small adjustments we have to do in our daily lives. Sometimes I just want to walk somewhere at night without listening for every car approaching from behind to check if it slows down when nearing me.
That group chat is a great idea!
"But we men protect women!"
Protect them from what buddy? OTHER MEN.
