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

      You’re being obtuse. Separate men’s and women’s clubs work just fine IRL. Sports, social, and charity are just a few examples in my local community which are thriving.

      Lemmy is like a house party, where everybody has the freedom to talk to whomever they so choose, thus creating segregated groups. If one butts in to a conversation, the participants are free to ask one not to participate, and are free to walk away if one insists. (In this metaphor, the WomensStuff community doesn’t even mind if you listen in.) For a house party, though, the host is well within their rights to not invite anybody, or even ask guests to leave. That’s a very strictly segregated group.

      What’s been the ripple of evil from allowing house parties, or companies to pay only a select group of employees, private clubs, family dinners et cetera? Has the existence of the chain of women’s-only gyms destroyed men’s lives?

      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.
