/r/WomenPositive
A place for all women to discuss stuff. Non-binary people, trans, and men are welcome here as well.
/r/WomenPositive is a place for all women to discuss general stuff and be heard. Non-binary people and men are welcome here as well, just remain respectful and don't be a troll. Threads can be about anything really, they don't just have to be about women, feminism, or positive stories.
Reddit is a majority male website, and women's perspectives tend to get drowned out. All we ask is that men are always respectful and not to be a troll or a dick on this subreddit.
Rules of posting:
Women of all kinds are welcome here, provided they can treat their peers with empathy and respect.
Non-binary people, trans, and men are welcome here. If you post or comment, just remain respectful and don't be a troll.
Any kind of hateful, troll posts (including homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, racism, and ableism) will result in your post being removed and an automatic ban.
Pretty much any kind of content is allowed, obviously as long as it's not illegal/offensive/nsfl.
Other rules will be made up as needed.

Honestly I am sick of always living my life around men. I know it’s probably me, I know I am the one with the problem. but I just can’t keep living my life depending on what other men around me do. It is so annoying and incredibly heartbroken that even my mother doesn’t even entertain the possibilities I have.
What hurts me, is that I can do anything that any man can do, I don’t need a man to do anything for me I can do everything for myself. Therefore, I am amazed by other women reminding me what can I or cannot do. And it breaks my heart that they don’t see me capable of doing whatever I want.
Great examples of this are simple things, like changing the tires of my own car, changing a lightbulb, replacing my car windshield wipers or managing money along with just paying my bills.
What does it even mean to love yourself when the majority of your life’s experiences have told you that you’re not worthy to be loved.
Loving myself hasn’t always been easy, but I’m learning and I’m growing and I’m ready to be completely authentic in sharing my journey with others I’m hopes that they may learn to loved themselves also.
