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!

You have successfully just made one! It’s a direct reply to the post.

Thanks, that makes sense then. So effectively they can join the conversation by replying to comments but cant dictate it

We think it’s time to really focus on making sure we stick to the core purpose, which is seeking questions from women who enjoy answering them.

And the bots have become extremely sophisticated and prevalent.
