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…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.

women's only community please only comment if you identify as female or non binary

Far more adult women are murdered by adult men than vice versa. Women are high risk for violence and sexual abuse. We often face bullying at work.

What would help women's safety?

We all know the tips for ourselves... text me when you get home, personal alarms, don't walk late at night etc. But it doesn't eliminate the threat.

Men can do a lot to keep women safe. Call out bad behaviour in other men, educate themselves on the risk we're at, raise their kids well etc. I really think the last one is the most important... if children were raised well, the world would be a better place.

In terms of crime, I'd be interested to see research on the impact of male heavy juries on verdicts. Not to mention male heavy law staff including judges. I don't feel crimes against women are treated seriously enough by the legal system
