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.

      For the sake of transparency, can you explain the decision?

      I’m feeling like I walked in, said, “hello,” and got somebody banned.

        You absolutely didn’t get anyone banned, nothing you did was responsible for them being a man and violating the rules by commenting.

        While I hear your concern about transparency (and I am sympathetic - I can imagine feeling the same way in your situation), I should point out that transparency is not owed in this context, nor is this the appropriate place or context for litigating my moderation decisions.

        The decision I made was based on what I considered sufficient evidence that superkret is not a woman, and my judgement was seconded by @[email protected].

        While I’m always open to being wrong (I am human after all, I make mistakes!), and I hope you would let me know if you found compelling evidence that I made a mistake, I stand by my decision based on the evidence I have (even if it is not appropriate to disclose and litigate that evidence and my reasoning with you here in public).
