I watched this video a long time ago but I was instantly reminded of it when I wore heels again last week! I don't often wear heels but every time I do, I remember why I don't!

I saw a comment on a post in the community once from somebody like you who asked politely to be banned. The mods were glad to help and it was a very wholesome exchange!

If you take that away after reading my comment I cannot help you. WomensStuff is ONE community out of hundreds, just block it and move on with your life.

I'll try to explain why women want and need a women only space here.

It is actually quite easy and has mostly to do with how many men there are on Lemmy compared to women.

Let's say I post a question on WomensStuff. I might get 10 answers from women and one answer from a very nice and respectful men. So, no harm was done, right?

Well if you allow everybody to participate you will quickly get a lot of "not a woman, but ..." type of answers. The 10 original comments made by the demographic that was actually targeted will be quickly drowned out.

This is how every post is on here. That is just how it is but that's ok. What we want is just one small part of Lemmy where we can talk among ourselves without being overshadowed. Just accept that because our lovely mods will not back down.

If you're tired of seeing our posts, no worries! Just block the community or ask to be banned. No harm will be done and we can continue with our nice supportive community.

I never has that option enabled, so that doesn't seem to be my issue (replying from my lemmy account on connect because voyager didn't load my inbox properly)

But that's one less app and there are great alternatives, so why continue using one that tracks you?

That sounds super stressful to me and you need to have a lot of energy left after your workday to look for a new job. I'm so glad I don't have to do that

Love the pictures but the OP should have credited the photographer in their tweet

What's up with this title?? Dropping something small and not finding it again is probably as close to a universal experience as possible

That's not even the dutch flag

I honestly don't get to bagel hype so I would be glad if somebody could explain it to me. Why wouldn't you just have a sandwich instead?

Edit: Thank you for your detailed explanations! I don't live in the US and I have dietary restrictions, so I'm sure that I've just never had a good bagel. However you've convinced me that they are out there!

In your the last sentences of your last paragraph you could exchange the word rape for murder and it would still be true. Similarly for most crimes there is no necessity. So I really don't understand why you think "rape isn't like other crimes".

It seems like you have your own irrational opinion that you don't want to change so I really don't see the point in this discussion.
