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.

    That comes with the logistical challenges of …

    a) how do you find out which ones will fit in?

    b) who defines what “fitting in” means?

    c) would the men who are feminist and “fit in” not feel weirded out by being allowed into somewhere that’s meant to be for women to talk amongst themselves? I mean, I would feel like I was invading something private if I were invited into a support group for men.

      I presume that any woman who acts like a disrespectful man would be kicked, so that would be the same predicate for (a) and (b).

      As for (c), how should I know. Maybe they would feel kinship for some reason, like they’re in touch with their feminine side. Or perhaps they are facing an issue most commonly experienced by women. IDK, I’m not a man. Is this a support group?

        Rule 2 is don’t be a dick, so being disrespectful might get someone kicked regardless of their gender. Someone’s gender is not just from being disrespectful, we often just ask the person.
