Women only trans inclusive 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.
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.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend [email protected] for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

My read is that women fear men as much as the fear bears. And that while a bear would maul her and eat her, she's still going to be blamed for being in a situation where that would happen.
Men get wrapped up in "I'm safer than a bear" without considering just how much victim blaming happens to wonen and how often they are ignored and attacked for things men do to them.
What needs to happen is men recognizing that there is a problem and working to resolve it. "It's all men until it's no men" is for women's safety, and isn't a direct reflection on individuals.
You're the one who brought racism and religion into this. If you're upset that women don't trust you, there are healthier comparisons to make. Also, you might be a part of the problem. Accept that you might need to reflect a little more carefully, and be willing to accept that your opinions might not be healthy.
