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.
I feel like men can do all of those things, so I don’t see why we are excluding them. Just because it’s a women-centric community doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be allowed. I think we should exclude people who are bigoted instead, or even people who just don’t “get” women’s issues.
Aside: I’m personally irritated that make-up is what’s considered a woman-centric topic. That’s kind of reductive – not everyone is femme.

It’s fine. I am not insulted that you thought I was a man; I am not insecure about my gender. I’m used to people assuming I’m a man online, and I don’t mind it. I prefer to avoid the harassment I get when I actively identify myself as a woman, which is why I don’t put pronouns in my username.
Having a space where you aren’t harassed by men is precisely the reason for the rule to exclude men … You shouldn’t have to hide who you are to avoid harassment, you should be able to feel safe to be yourself.
Oh absolutely. It bothers me – that’s why I wanted to mention this here.
