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.

Not really, no. It's a "it's the thought that counts" kind of gift for me (and it shows not a lot of thought). If you want to get me a gift, a nice tea, an interesting scarf, a good book you read and want to share ... that kind of thing is more my kind of vibe.
This is my answer too.
The only time a man gave me flowers, it was a terrible man, and he was doing terrible things.
Small gifts that are thoughtful and personal go a really long way. My husband finally understands I don't like mass produced dust collectors, and has switched to finding local made dust collectors lol he'll get there eventually.
In light of your husband's poor gift giving skills, and assuming he's not a terrible man, would you not prefer he get you flowers? Or did the first guy ruin flowers for you?
