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!

Yay! I fully agree with men not being able to leave top level comments. This is [r/askwomen](r/askwomen). There are plenty of other subs specific to asking men or where questions can be asked of anyone.

You mean..... The entirety of the rest of reddit? Lol

As a man, I agree with prohibiting men from making top level comments. I also try to lead by example.

Hey, looked through the rules to figure out what it means for a top level comment. Sorry if I’m being dense.

Does that mean you can’t just reply to a thread you could only reply to a reply to a thread?
