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. 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.
  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.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Being independent can be incredibly fulfilling.

It can also be fucking exhausting sometimes.

My car battery died, so I ordered a new one. I carefully checked the amperage, dimensions, and compatibility with my car model. It arrived, I removed the old battery (which was no small feat, and I was ridiculously proud of myself when I finally managed it) and then discovered that the terminals on the new battery were reversed and it wouldn't work.

So now I have to return it. Which means carrying a 15 kg battery to the post office.

Then I have to wait for the correct one to arrive.

And after that, I get to figure out why two of my tyres are flat (no problem, I have a spare tyre and ordered a charger/air blower thingy, hopefully it will work).

I am perfectly capable of taking care of my own shit.

I'm just getting a little tired of it. But lesson learned: buy the exact same model of whatever you need to replace if you can.

No, you continuously breaking the rules after you were reminded of them is what makes you a, to quote you, "stark raving moron".

Take responsibility for your actions, apologize for breaking the rules, and then leave. That's all that was expected of you and now you have the ire of a bunch of lemmings here.

It's not hard to follow the rules and YOU agreed to follow community specific rules when you made an account.

I do know the rules now that true. I'm quite obviously flouting them by these replies. But then, if you didn't want a response you wouldn't be directly engaging in a conversation with me.

Someone would've banned me by now if it was that big of a concern but from what I can tell this has been a mostly pretty laid back community with 2 or 3 people that have wasted more of my own time and their own by a factor of at least 10 than anything my original post did.

I promise I won't reply if you dont

Does it give you a thrill to force yourself on women saying "no"?

It certainly seems so. It must do something for you to want to flout rules in a women's only community. Makes you smile to make women feel uncomfortable, doesn't it?

I see you.

No, it's got nothing to do with that. I find self righteous try hard digdongs annoying regardless of gender. You're making this a women thing. It's basically a you and one other person thing. People who came way late to this party and have not contributed to the original discussion at all and re-engaged me in a discussion that was already over, to make sure that I know my place.

I do. I'm not coming back here. I won't ever again offer mildly sarcastic advice where it's not wanted. You achieved everything you wanted before you ever got involved. But then you wanted to get involved anyway.

It’s amazing the tantrums some men will throw when treated as if the entire world isn’t theirs for the taking.
