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.

Probably a very minor one really but in the theme of the right vs left handed comment before - early birds vs night owls.
I'm very much a night owl. Mornings are rough for me and I'm definitely not at my best or most productive. Yet society only realy caters for early birds. My job starts at 9:00 and ends at 17:30 - people who start earlier and finish earlier (like 7:30 - 16:00) are seen so much more positively than starting late and finishing late (like 10:30 - 19:00). And its common for important meetings to be front loaded in the day in the mornings, i dread and hate the 09:00 meeting with passion.
I constantly get comments when we are doing an on site go live event during breakfast that I look really tired or I'm not a morning person/haven't had my coffee etc.. yet calling out somebody who is tired, grumpy or flagging during dinner isn't socially acceptable.
And the fact that night time is seen as sacred quiet time (more an issue when I was growing up) but early morning isn't. People go to bed at 9 and I remain quiet and respectful of people trying to go to bed. But 8 am? Time to crash about the house, mow the garden, talk loudly etc. with no real respect for those still asleep.
Society sees night owls as lazy and societal norms are't built for us.
Introverts too. They always want team building to get us out of our shell. Why do they have the right to my energy just because they cannot sit for more than 30 seconds in cognitive silence without having a seizure. Who is really the one with the problem there?
There was a post in here a month ago, something along the lines of: "Morning People Monopolised Work". And the reply that stuck with me the most was: "Night People Monopolised Fun". So no real winners, I would say.
