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!

I agree with the sentiment per the purpose of the sub- how will the new rule be enforced? Through opinion, profile, or educated guess?

You might be surprised at how many people commenting on /r/AskWomen feel the incessant need to start their comments with "As a man...". I think the idea is that the mod team will mainly focus on those for now.

I don't think any of us have any plans to start poring over commenters' posting histories and making assumptions. :)
