For those out of the loop, WomensStuff has a women-only rule, where men are respectfully asked to not reply to posts.
minus-squareZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoWhat I find interesting here is that this all self identification and self reporting. There’s no mechanism in Lemmy to force a user into such identification, so it is all voluntary.
minus-squaremisterdoctor@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoYes, the users at WomensStuff are banking on Lemmy users reading the rules and then adhering to them because it’s a respectful thing to do. Unfortunately, many men on Lemmy have found this too burdensome a cross to bear.

Isn’t gender a social construct based on self-identification rather than your physical body that can be fluid & vary from day to day? Isn’t a woman anyone who claims to be? Some activists even say there is no such thing as a “male body” A penis is not a male body part. It’s just an unusual body part for a woman. Logic is genderless.
