Nice idea OP, and the design seems very friendly and welcoming. I would only say one thing (and IDK how this is going to go down): but IMO, it makes more sense to me to discourage men from posting completely - and I say that as a guy myself. Why am I saying this? Because there's already plenty of places that are primarily filled with / run by / used by men.
I think if you want to have a female only site then no one should really get offended by this. I do think females probably have many different experiences than men in the tech space and having a place where it's more normalized to share them is a good idea. Without rules for a community like this it will just get diluted and you'll end up with Hacker News 2.0.
I've seen communities like this work really well in the past but only with good moderation and clear rules. Having a place like this is also a great way to understand people a little better - i.e. listening instead of speaking (if you're not a female.) just my thoughts. let them downboats flow~
- suifbwish 7y agoIf you make a site that says individuals not allowed to post in it because of the group they were born into, there are many who are going to make it their hobby to cause problems for you. After reading all of the well thought out comments above, it is becoming more clear that special group only spaces exist primarily because there are those who don’t like to be challenged or be required to explain themselves in order to feel special. Unfortunately that’s not how life works.
