Who and what belongs here?

ONLY WOMEN AND TRANS+ WOMEN INC NON BINARY ARE ALLOWED TO POST. WE ARE A WOMEN ONLY COMMUNITY

See full rules below

Welcome to WomensStuff! We are here for all things women. Examples include...

Fashion, style, make up
Feminism, patriarchy
Friendly chit chat with other women.

Rules...

Women only... trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn't allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (eg non binary) is welcome
Don't be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
Don't hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.

Please see our twinned community !dadforaminute@lemmy.world They're WomensStuff's official male cheerleaders, and great for when you need dad advice or hugs... They're also a great way for male posters to support women.

Awhile ago, someone made a post listing communities targeted at women. All of the communities are now dead, since the poster listed only kbin.social communities and kbin.social went down. I did continue a community listed there at !otomegames@ani.social, but I do not know about if the other communities have been recreated on other instances. However, the reason I bring this up is because I think it might be useful to have a similar post here. Grow the Fediverse and all that.

  Alright, went looking for active versions of the communities listed in that post.
  !girlgamers@lemmy.world exists but is very dead
  !sanrio_kawaii@lemmy.ml, but a lot of people have issues with lemmy.ml. I try to avoid it personally.
  There are several Animal Crossing communities. The most recently active one I found is: !acnh@lemmy.world. There is also !animal_crossing@lemmy.world and !animalcrossing@lemmy.world, both dead. There are a few more but with nowhere near as big a following.
  And of course, !otomegames@ani.social, active, run by me (games about romancing dudes, aimed at women, community also currently allows amare games which are romance games aimed at a more diverse audience due to how they can overlap and how tiny Fedi is for otome and amare)
  I also submit some communities for interests traditionally considered feminine, though I realize not all women would participate in these and other genders participate too. All are active unless mentioned otherwise.
  !crochet@lemmy.ca
  !knitting@lemmy.world
  !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works
  !bistitchual@sh.itjust.works
  !52weeksofbaking@lemmy.world is now dead and looking for someone to take it over
  !journaling@sh.itjust.works
  !infinitynikki@discuss.tchncs.de (open-world gacha game explicitly aimed at women)
  !otomeisekai@lemmy.world (manga genre aimed at women where someone gets transported from the real world into that of a stereotypical otome game—not actually a great representation of otome games, we don't have villainesses trying to get in the way of your romance usually and we aren't always in medieval fantasy settings, but still enjoyable to this otome player. Very dead, might gain some activity soon)
  If women post about these things here I highly encourage them to crosspost to the hobby community too. I am definitely not the only woman who isn't following this community. I don't plan to engage here aside from these two comments. (Nothing against you or other women, I don't hold "there is no patriarchy" beliefs, but this community does allow discussion on more depressing topics than I want to engage with on my online funtime, such as patriarchy and probably sexism.) I hope this proves a fruitful and fun place for the women who do subscribe to the community :) good luck!
  
  !Witchesvspatriarchy@lemmy.ca is under new management. It's a really positive and interesting group of posters with an interest in witchcraft, supporting women and feminism.
  
  That's a great list thanks 😊
  
  !52weeksofbaking is dead but !52weeksofart@lemmy.world is still struggling for life. Thanks for the mention.
