No, we don’t ask for verification because our community is open to anyone who feels they’re a good fit for this community as long as they’re not a man. That means there’s a wide array of genders that are welcome here.

We remind users of the rules when the comment appears to be from a man’s perspective.

It is rather easy to pick up on the tone when it’s a man coming to lecture or scold us.

What I’m questioning is the need to uphold it when someone’s asking a genuine question to better understand a specific subject, that may lead to everyone involved benefitting.

If the genuine question is from a man, it simply doesn’t need to be asked in here. They can take that question and create their own post in a more fitting community.

If you had taken a moment to look at other posts here, you would have seen that there is quite a different response from us to men who are genuine vs men who are asking leading questions in order to be condescending or mansplain. The men who are genuine respect the rules right away and respect our space which is always appreciated here :)

Yes there are DMs on Lemmy. If you want to reply to me, please figure out how to do so.
