  • I’ll try to explain why women want and need a women only space here.

    It is actually quite easy and has mostly to do with how many men there are on Lemmy compared to women.

    Let’s say I post a question on WomensStuff. I might get 10 answers from women and one answer from a very nice and respectful men. So, no harm was done, right?

    Well if you allow everybody to participate you will quickly get a lot of “not a woman, but …” type of answers. The 10 original comments made by the demographic that was actually targeted will be quickly drowned out.

    This is how every post is on here. That is just how it is but that’s ok. What we want is just one small part of Lemmy where we can talk among ourselves without being overshadowed. Just accept that because our lovely mods will not back down.

    If you’re tired of seeing our posts, no worries! Just block the community or ask to be banned. No harm will be done and we can continue with our nice supportive community.

    I hope somebody can help me with this: could a bee theoretically evolve to have a stronger stinger so that stinging a human’s skin multiple times would be possible?

    If bees would evolve like other animals those who survive stinging humans would produce more offspring, but in this case only the queen produces offspring and the queen probably contact with human skin so this trait wouldn’t be favoured by evolution. Or am I looking at this wrong?
