Women only trans inclusive 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.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- 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.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Yes. If you change all the terms of the thought experiment the outcome is different.
What an unexpected result!
What's the difference? Why does the woods or store change the danger?
Come back when you're ready to talk in good faith.
Right now you're just being a troll. And not even a particularly clever one.
(Hint: A reading in good faith involves reading ALL of the words of the thought experiment.)
"If every man in a store was a bear" is a very specific gay fantasy 😉
And yet if the panet were made of only lava everyone would be dead! I can make non-sequitors too!
Bears in a store is just as suspicious as men in the woods. Neither are safe for women.
What if the store is in the bear so when you get eaten you find yourself stuck in Hot Topic?
Ha! Didn't think of that one, did you?
Honestly, would still rather the hot topic infested bear I think... Might even be OK with a Spencer's.
You dont live in an area with black bears. They're not scary, having to chase them away from garbage or equipment isnt that uncommon.
I've lived where there were polar bears.
Those are scary.
Still rather meet one of those alone in the wilds than a man I don't know.
That kinda seems like overcorrecting, at least half of men won't eat you given the chance, most polar bears will.
I addressed this elsewhere in the ensuing shitstorm. It's a question of risk management.
Beep.
