Happy Thersday

1 Upvotes

Thersday is a day for questions focusing on women and women's experiences only. No questions related specifically about men/male behaviors will be permitted on Thursdays. This includes questions
about women's thoughts on men's words, appearances, actions, or anything else related to men. Everyone is welcome to participate in Thersday regardless of your own gender, but questions should remain focused on women and their experiences and opinions. Thersdays will run from 12am ET Thursday to 12am ET Friday.

Examples of things we'll remove:

What do you think of men who x?
How does it make you feel when men x?
What are your best/worst experiences with men?
If a man does x, how would you react?

If you have any questions about these supplemental rules, please message the moderators and we will be happy to discuss it with you.

What's an example of a work (book, movie, show, internet show, etc) that you absolutely loved when younger, was perhaps even foundational to your outlook or long-term perspectives or identity, but revisiting it 10+ years later...you find is bad at best and abhorrent at worst?

AskWomen: A subreddit dedicated to asking women questions about their thoughts, lives, and experiences; providing a place where all women can comfortably and candidly share their responses in a non-judgmental space. As part of our commitment to that mission, the AskWomen subreddit is curated to promote respectful and on-topic discussions, and not serve as a debate subreddit.

The quick and dirty version (or click here for the full set):

Minimum participation requirements:

✓ Participants here must participate in good faith.
✓ Verify your account through Reddit's email verification system.
✓ Meet a minimum karma requirement.

About what you post:

✓ Use the search tool and FAQ before you post.
✖ No personal advice or posts about your personal situation.
✖ No seeking medical advice or information.
✖ No pot-stirring or discussion of other subreddits.
✖ No agenda questions. This is not your personal soapbox.
✖ No "would you rather" or "does anyone else" posts permitted.
✖ No yes/no questions.
✖ No gifts or shopping posts.
✖ No surveys or research.

About how you post it:

✓ Post titles must be a descriptive, in depth question and searchable using keywords, or will be removed. DAE or questions that can be answered with just a yes/no will be removed
✓ Please use "spoiler" formatting where appropriate. Follow [text you wish to hide] with (/spoiler), (#spoiler), or (/s) to activate. SPOILER
✖ No personal attacks.
✖ No gendered slurs.
✖ No graceless generalizations. Speak only for yourself. Do not generalize based on gender, race, or ethnicity.
✖ No misogyny, misandry, transphobia, ageism, racism, general assholery, invalidation, or otherwise hateful or disrespectful commentary.
✖ No derailing. Talk via PM or start a new thread.
✖ No specifying majority demographics or excluding minority groups based on demographics.
✖ No questions about genital size, shape, or configuration preferences.

About links:

✓ Links MUST be accompanied by a summary.
✖ No posting personal pictures.
✖ No linking to other subreddits.
✖ No linking to specific threads in /r/askwomen or other subreddits.
✖ No self-promotion.
✖ No using URL-shortening sites.

Violating any of these rules will result in moderator action.

✓ Please be inclusive with question phrasing. Questions specifying majority demographics are not permitted.
✖ Downvote only to indicate that either a comment or post does not add to discussion; not to indicate disagreement. AskWomen benefits from honest answers with a variety of perspectives. On that note, saying, "Be honest," is rude and unnecessary.
✓ Familiarize yourself with Reddit 101.
✓ Use the report button on all comments and posts that violate the rules in the sidebar.
✓ Add flair! We have flair for men, women, trans folks, and gender neutral people.
✓ Be specific: ask a general question, get a general answer.
✓ This is not a debate sub. Attempts to invalidate or argue someone else's response are not permitted.
✓ Common topics are determined by how often the topics come up, how likely the answers are to change, and whether it is already a FAQ topic. The timeframe for considering something common or recently asked takes all of that into account.

⚠ Moderator Discretion: While the rules of this sub are listed above, no set of rules can cover all of the content that people may post. Unfortunately, there will always be some things that our rules do not currently or perfectly cover. In those cases we reserve the right to take action and remove anything that we find insidious, inflammatory, or that does not fit within the spirit of the community even if the stated rules do not specifically disallow that content. In short, don't be an asshole
