> I'm not a woman, but I imagine
One of the biggest problems with male dominated communities is men imagining what women would say instead of just listening to the women in the community. I'd be interested in hearing responses to parent from actual women.
- root_axis 7y agoI don't agree that trying to imagine how women might feel is a problem.

- suifbwish 7y agoThese arguments are rather silly as all someone has to do is pretend to be a woman, respond back and say the other is wrong because that’s not how they experience it as a woman.
- will4274 7y agoThe rules here are that you respond to the strongest interpretation of what somebody said, not the weakest. Trying to imagine how women might feel isn't a problem. Posting about what you imagine woman might feel to the extent that it crowds out actual women saying how they feel (e.g. being the top response) is a problem.

I don't control where my response sits, so it sounds like you're saying the problem is that I decided to speak at all. I am having a hard time reading the comment any other way than "don't express opinions about how you imagine a woman might feel".
