The recommendations I’ve seen have varied wildly from 6 weeks to 6 months. The obvious answer is “once it’s healed enough”, but I am not sure how to judge that. I got my lobes pierced about a month ago, and I’m eager to upgrade from the simple silver studs! But I also don’t want to risk damaging the healing process and making the piercing angry.

Any advice is appreciated 😊

It can be a great day, but it can be awful. How is it for you?

Some people see home as somewhere to sleep, other people see it as their castle. Some people love being away, others don't. How much of a home bird are you?

Women are trained to value themselves by their appearance and simultaneously hate it. We're too fat, legs too short, wrong shape, stretch marks from childbirth etc etc. And it's so much worse if you're trans, non white and so on. What do you like about your body?

Be mindful of no politics, so you can talk about say, an assault on women's rights, but don't go into specific political actions or politicians.

Thanks to Dandelion for this suggestion! The game is simple... describe a movie really badly. People then either guess your movie, or start a comment thread with their own.

For example for Alien... "murderous and icky Alien released on spacecraft. Many dead, but fortunately the cat survives".

I just lost a family member (not a close one, but I did love him). Not sure yet when the funeral will be, but I'll need to plan ahead, and I'm not sure where to start. When my boyfriend died (8 years ago) we made copies of his favorite tshirt and wore those. I'm guessing this will be a slightly dresser function.

Annoying question? Unwanted advice? Statements youre always hearing? Tell us below!

Also parents... I feel unsure doing parent threads as I'm not a parent, and don't want to speak for you. If any of you want to start doing parenting posts, please feel free to 😃

We face a lot of pressures at work, and deal with systemic misogyny as well as our personal difficulties. What have you seen derail a woman's career?

Not every week is good but there's something good in every week! What's gone right for you this week?

Some idiot told me that I don't talk like a woman, that I talk like a man. Not that my voice sounds masculine (it doesn't) but that I "use masculine words or phrases" what the fuck does that even mean?

If there's a better community to post this please let me know and I'll delete this and post it again there.

Edit: They aren't a man, they're a woman. She definitely gave off the JK Rowling TERF vibes though.

Indigenous people make up a disproportionate amount of murder and DA statistics, today is national day of rememberance. Love to all effected

I recently made the post above.

Overall the responses were insightful, and I had a joy responding to some comments. ✨

I ended up choosing the comment that made most sense, and included an edit explaining to guys what I think would have been best in that situation if they were the ones walking by.

But after I added those edits in, it seems to have ruffled the feathers of some men, whom took it upon themselves to insult me and or throw shade upon me for my conclusions.

I did get the insight I wished for, and better understand the situation that occured. But I didn't want to also have dirt in my mouth after eating my meal.

I wish that in times like this there was a way for me to mute threads etc. 😞

Vent over, meow meow meow.

I don't generally play multiplayer games, but I used to play Palia when it first came out and could jump back into it if I had some friends that still played. Anyone else here play that or another multiplayer game they'd like to suggest?

This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you’re here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we’ve got you covered.

I feel like men can do all of those things, so I don't see why we are excluding them. Just because it's a women-centric community doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed. I think we should exclude people who are bigoted instead, or even people who just don't "get" women's issues.

Aside: I'm personally irritated that make-up is what's considered a woman-centric topic. That's kind of reductive -- not everyone is femme.

Some women have preferences, some don't care. Additionally, do you think women or men doctors care more about their patients?

I've seen some women complain about issues with PMDD and their dr brushes it off. When I suggest maybe seeing a female gyno instead, they say their gyno IS female.... Why would another women be dismissive to issues like pmmd or endometriosis?

I'm sure some male Dr's do this too, but I'm just surprised when it's a woman Dr who's being dismissive.
