Hi ladies! Today CheeseToastie created a new community for women’s interests (makeup, skincare, health, nail polish, etc). I’ve agreed to share it around so if you’re interested, come join us at [email protected]
(Mods, if this type of post isn’t allowed, my apologies!)
Hi there. Whilst we appreciate the thought this feels unnecessarily gender essentialist, and exclusionary to people who aren’t women and still enjoy such things.
It’s a good idea for a community, but perhaps it needs a better name? After all we feel like we shouldn’t be promoting the idea that only women are interested, or are the only ones allowed to be interested, in such things.
Hmm…do you have a suggestion for a better name?
I do understand your stance on this; the first rule does say women only… is it exclusive, oh definitely, but there are so many other communities that can support the same topics that are open to everyone. I think if the admins/mods of that community would like a space for women to talk to other women, we should just let them do their thing 🩷 I don’t think they are saying only women can like those things, but sometimes girls just want to have their own space (I’m one of those girls). Buut it’s a super new community, and they may rethink and adjust their rules!
