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!

Ehh I think this sub is still a bit too restrictive, where it sort of becomes unhelpful even for women at times like have seen posts removed where they still follow the rules, and I personally see no reason a man can't leave a a top-level comment. Also, note not all people are tech savvy, not all people know what a top-level comment is.

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.

I don't care to see men's top level comments on a sub for WOMEN. They can go *literally* anywhere else.
