For those out of the loop, WomensStuff has a women-only rule, where men are respectfully asked to not reply to posts.

    I feel based on the name of the community, some rules would be obvious. But a “absolutely nothing from you, male scum” isn’t obvious.

    I posted one there yesterday or this morning, haven’t checked on it, but it’s probably deleted now. No harm no foul. It wasn’t meant to break a rule, and they can do what they want. But I would’ve never even known if not for this post.

    But I will be blocking the sub now. Both because I’m apparently not welcome, and because I will probably accidentally do it again otherwise.

    Edit: It wasn’t that sub after checking. Phew. One less toxic place to be.

      “male scum” oof. Maybe cool it a little with the self-victimization, friend.

      If you genuinely don’t understand why it’s helpful to have both kinds of spaces and not something to get mad about, I’m happy to explain. But some good-faith effort on your part is required.

      “Women only…trans women are women, and gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (eg non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a woman’s community is a good fit for them”

      Literally does not say “male scum”, that’s something you’ve invented entirely. Wonder why that’s your response.

      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.

      I understand, you’re a man, you have an opinion, and being told ‘no’ just won’t cut it, will it?

        Did you miss the first 9 words you quoted or something? Seems like you’re misrepresenting what was said in quite a profound way.

        OP claims it’s not obvious from the title; you claim it’s obvious from the rules; Both of these statements can be true at the same time.

        Also, now that they’re aware, they’ve blocked the community to prevent any engagement… Can you explain how that translates to them not accepting the situation?
