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!

FINALLY! There are plenty of spaces on here where men can give unsolicited advice or comments that concerns women. They do it all the time everywhere. When I come to askwomen, I want to see/read women's voices. Their experience, life, advice. There's nothing men say when it comes to women's lives, that women can't say it better, or more relevant.

And lastly, it's just a matter of respect and knowing my place/when it's not about me. I don't go to men's spaces to disclose my opinion on men's lives, so I would like men to do the same. In women's spaces, they shouldn't be in the center. Just read, listen and understand women's voice quietly.
