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.

There used to be a form of chivalry that kinda got close in the past, but it was still rooted in a lot of hierarchy and patriarchy. That's been eroded away and toxic traits have dominated masculine discussion and practice for a while now. I'm hopeful a sincerely loving and empathetic form of masculinity can become the norm in my lifetime.
Good point. We've lost a lot of the good out of patriarchy like chivalry and protection, but kept the bad.
Indeed. There did used to be some good that came along with the bad of patriarchy.
Now there appears to only be the bad.
