Comment on Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway

  FWIW that community is just one of something that already exists outside of social media. The community owner kept !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world up since it’s pretty active, but the new official one for dull stuff is !Dullsters@dullsters.net . They explicitly wanted it to be more inclusive (not that DMC was only restricted to men posting).

  The official Dull Men’s Club website encourages women to participate as well, so I don’t think it should be considered as a men-only community:

  Though it started with men, women now belong too.

    If 99.9999% of users are men, it’s effectively a place where men can express themselves without the fear that some women will flood the comments.

    That’s what women want with their women only spaces. And while that man wasn’t being that rude, until women feel more comfortable let them have their bubbles.

      The point of the community is to share the dull things you’ve accomplished, not to go there and talk about stuff with the expectation that only men will respond. I was trying to tell that commenter that, despite the name, it’s not trying to be a man-only space, and people hopefully should not react to or expect the community to be as such. I just wanted to clarify since I think the comm is cool.
      I think there’s another similar community called “dullsters” if anyone objects to the name itself.

      That’s what women want with their women only spaces. And while that man wasn’t being that rude, until women feel more comfortable let them have their bubbles.

      I agree with you.

      That’s quite an “if” that you’re starting with.
