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.

MODERATORS
Sure. But if the point is to try to "fix" masculinity, which is seemingly the point of the post, that needs to involve men. You're allowed to discuss anything you want.
I will point out, the comments seem to fit my point where it seems it's mostly men discussing it. I also assume the rule is waived, for this reason. I have seen no removed comments or warnings about the rule. I'm literally the only person who has brought it up. If there's no official response, the rule is de facto waived for this post.
If the point of the post is to say "men should act like this, not that" then yes, the point is fixing. Sure, it might not actively be aimed to externally influence, but it is trying to point to a solution to a problem, aka a fix.
I clearly said they are. The point of the post seems to be aimed more towards a solution to a problem though, as I stated. If you want it to happen, it needs to reach men. I guess you can just not want things to change, but I don't think most people do, and I'd wager the OP doesn't want that.
Anway, again, the moderators of the community seem to agree that men are allowed on this post since I'm the only one who has discussed this rule. Usually they're pretty quick on asking men not to comment (which is fine and good), but they haven't here. I noticed this so I asked. I guess I could just not ask and assume it's allowed.
I'm trying to not be hostile. I don't know what more to say. The moderators are either AWOL or they approve of the discussion (the latter seems much more likely). I was asking if it's allowed, because it seems to be. If you disagree, take it up with them, not me.
