I'll try to explain why women want and need a women only space here.

It is actually quite easy and has mostly to do with how many men there are on Lemmy compared to women.

Let's say I post a question on WomensStuff. I might get 10 answers from women and one answer from a very nice and respectful men. So, no harm was done, right?

Well if you allow everybody to participate you will quickly get a lot of "not a woman, but ..." type of answers. The 10 original comments made by the demographic that was actually targeted will be quickly drowned out.

This is how every post is on here. That is just how it is but that's ok. What we want is just one small part of Lemmy where we can talk among ourselves without being overshadowed. Just accept that because our lovely mods will not back down.

If you're tired of seeing our posts, no worries! Just block the community or ask to be banned. No harm will be done and we can continue with our nice supportive community.

Love the pictures but the OP should have credited the photographer in their tweet

I honestly don't get to bagel hype so I would be glad if somebody could explain it to me. Why wouldn't you just have a sandwich instead?

Edit: Thank you for your detailed explanations! I don't live in the US and I have dietary restrictions, so I'm sure that I've just never had a good bagel. However you've convinced me that they are out there!

That's not even the dutch flag

That sounds super stressful to me and you need to have a lot of energy left after your workday to look for a new job. I'm so glad I don't have to do that

But that's one less app and there are great alternatives, so why continue using one that tracks you?

In your the last sentences of your last paragraph you could exchange the word rape for murder and it would still be true. Similarly for most crimes there is no necessity. So I really don't understand why you think "rape isn't like other crimes".

It seems like you have your own irrational opinion that you don't want to change so I really don't see the point in this discussion.

What's up with this title?? Dropping something small and not finding it again is probably as close to a universal experience as possible

I see that you're also on blahaj but I just wanted to second your recommendation. I've been using this instance since my first day on lemmy and I've had a great experience with the instance and its admins so far. Everybody loves Ada and for a good reason.

I'm not LGBTQ+ myself but it was important for me to chose an inclusive instance and I'm glad I made that choice

Voyager and connect do too

Just a general advice: glasses can change how a face looks. There are loads of different models, colours and styles.

I don't know if it will help you, as people won't become less racist, but you could always try it

There are so many words that I don't understand

Sorry, I just flew over the article. Where do they say that it is a pro-terrorist protest?

I'd say rhat the saying is more about saying "thank you" to the cashier and less about giving money

This looks like AI, too many details in the toes, rest of the foot, legs and knees. It would be a wonder to find one such turnip, let alone a matching one

Some more photos

Hairless cats do have certain health risks and need to be bathed regularly (once a week) In general I would advise you to not buy a specific breed, as they are more expensive and have more health problems than a general "house car" from the shelter

Yeah it is. Telling other people not to play a game just because it allows the creation of a characrer who is not male or female is pretty homophobic

You should preface a comment if you used AI to write it

I'm pretty sure they designed this transportation system while having wind in mind
