    im so sick of seeing reports regarding men posting in women-only communities and i cant help but get annoyed with these guys.

    the rules are clearly presented. either youre not paying attention or youre just an asshole who purposefully throws their opinion in a place explicitly not wanting it.

    what the fuck is wrong with you guys?

    Something about a women only space triggers people. Just look at the people replying here. They can't seem to help themselves.

        I'm not standing up for Lembot's motivations, I don't know Lembot. But their comment on its own was pointing to a perception of your "What the fuck is wrong with you" remark generalizing intrusive behavior to all men, rather than just the intrusive men.

          Is this about the public community, Women's stuff, federated on the public fediverse who's posts get aggregated to the public all feed and which is accessed by a diverse set of software solutions that may or may not force the community rules to be visible before viewing post content?

          I try not to engage cause I know about the community, but golly, I can't imagine how a man might stumble upon that and interact.

                If the community is private you might have a point, but there are very public women's only communities on this platform who's conversations show up in the aggregate feeds--that's not just "conversing amongst themselves."

                          Honestly the varied mobile platforms don't always present the channel/groups rules in advance. Especially if one is just browsing trending topics. There can potentially be no way for some users to be informed enough before they see a topic they want to interact with.

                          Best solution I found for similar issue is polite advisement of the rules via dm or other preferred method and helping them learn and have better internet etiquette.

                          Calling folks out publicly can get alot of negative associations with it as well which might end with you group on the wrong end of a troll.

                          Yup, this is it for me. I blocked womenstuff, mostly so that they wouldn't have to deal with me stumbling in from sorting all by new.

                            Forgot one: randomly stumbled in after sorting by new guys.

                            I blocked womenstuff for their sake, not mine.

                                The rules are not clearly presented when you're just scrolling through a generic AllPost feed. I've almost commented to one of these just the other day before realizing at the last second what community it was.

                                Also, when you're discussing men, especially negatively, and expect men to not jump in to defend themselves, that's a bit naive to think they'll stay out of it. Some of those threads can get really echo chamber and dogpile feeling.

                                And people would be throwing a shit fit if the genders were reversed here. I'm sure there are some bitter people out there that don't like the double standard. There seems to be a lot of overgeneralization where the bad behavior of a select few gets broadly painted onto the entire gender. This, again, has a double standard of being an acceptable thing to do, to the point that even within this thread someone is mocking others for pointing out "not all men" as a response.

                                  I saw a post, added a relevant wiki link, and then my comment was deleted, and that's fair enough as I didn't read the rules beforehand.

                                  To reduce the constant barrage of mansplaining 🙂 I suggest adding a sticky top level comment (or something better), or some sort of filter before a comment is added if possible.

                                        Mod notice: semi-controversial but serious question has been raised about an actual issue. Keep it civil and stay classy.

                                        If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Or at least be tastefully funny about it.

                                          im so sick of seeing reports regarding men posting in women-only communities and i cant help but get annoyed with these guys.

                                          the rules are clearly presented. either youre not paying attention or youre just an asshole who purposefully throws their opinion in a place explicitly not wanting it.

                                          what the fuck is wrong with you guys?

                                          They're looking for a way to feel persecuted, probably.
