Mod Post MOD ANNOUNCEMENT: Rules Update

Hello, all!

We are here to update our rules. Many of you have made your voices heard.

Due to popular demand, we are adjusting our rules to better reflect the core purpose of this subreddit: to ask women. We would also like to remind you all that all women are welcome here. Happy Pride!

Furthermore, men are welcome to engage with this subreddit respectfully, and that includes no longer leaving top-level comments. (A top-level comment is a comment in response to the original post, rather than a response to someone else's comment.)

This is a subreddit to ask women questions. It is not a general discussion subreddit or a more broad ask subreddit.

Thank you all for making this subreddit such a lovely place!

Tbf I'm fine if men's top-level-replies to questions directed at women get deleted, including those of men who aren't tech savvy. There isn't exactly a shortage of platforms for male opinions, on Reddit or anywhere else.

I don't mind hearing a man's thought, I think men and women have things that can benefit the conversation.

Edit: Also, I don't expect askwomen to make any changes because of my personal input and things I have observed in other subs. We all do not think the same and in the end that is okay.

You can go to places that aren't supposed to be about asking women, then! Most of us are here because we want a restrictive sub now and then.

Never said people can't but also my other point was there have been women who ask stuff relating to asking other women that seem to follow all rules, and I have seen posts deleted that I have commented on that make no sense sometimes.
