Any girls-only Q and A websites?

Asked by SIGNS_TT (133points) March 23rd, 2013

Okay so I was wondering if there was only-girls Q and A websites because I need to know if there is. And if you know of any guys acting like girls on there do NOT suggest it to me! Because I am a girl, I have girl problems, And I do NOT want guys to know about them.
Thank you.

You can not control who shows up on the web. Ask us here; we are extremely well-modded and can spot a troll at a nanometer.

There is a wealth of experience and common sense available here. Many of the men have daughters and will be helpful and kind.

I agree with @gailcalled. There are many sites on the web, and the ones who try to limit access are the ones most likely to attract the types of people they want to avoid.

Start by typing a few key words of your problem into the Fluther search bar to see if anyone has asked about similar problems. Even if no close matches come up, check out some of the other posts to get a sense of what our community is like. We have people of all ages and with a lot of life experience here.

This website would probably be most helpful for you. Although there are men on here, they can be pretty helpful when it comes to lady problems. I ask questions about my period all the time and receive no criticism whatsoever. Also, when you write your question, you could add a tag that says “women only, please” and it’ll most likely be respected.

I’ve been around the collective for about 3–4 years now, and I agree with @mambo and @hearkat. These people are probably the best you’re going to find on the web – they’re respectful, knowledgeable, and they would never criticize or demean you. Honestly, I was kind of surprised a few years back when I asked a question about my period or some other female issue (can’t remember what it was now), and I got great answers from men!

@RandomGirl True. I believe we do have a trained doctor on this website as well as many other people who have great information on medical issues and lady problems. Seeing that being rude and criticizing can get you flagged in serious questions, I feel as though this is a pretty safe place.

I don’t think there are any girls-only sites and even if there were, it would be impossible to police. Anyone can lie about their gender online.

I hope I’m one of the guys being referred to above; I’m going to act like that, anyway.

And I won’t answer any questions about menses.

@SIGNS_TT Don’t write all men off. There are some of us that try to understand women and appreciate everything they are.

It is just that some men are nasty…..They like to see what women/girls ask/post on websites that are open to all genders even if the female writes GIRLS/WOMEN ONLY.

I can’t disagree with you. There are a lot of males that are pigs. But there are some women who are the same. Just don’t paint us all with the same brush.

The nice thing about site like this one you can be who you want to be. You can hide your identity and gender. I agree with @downtide

Too many male doctors, other mature guys, and ignorant females for me to think you can get any meaningful answers by gender exclusion. And women tend to be far cattier, so you sure as hell won’t escape any meanness. Hell, I’ve seen them get so bad that my wife turns to me and tells me she is ashamed to have a uterus; us guys cannot match you gals when it comes to being nasty.

I saw your other question, and while I can see why you might not want a teenage boy to even see that sort of question from you, I’ve been with the same woman longer than you’ve been alive, so it’s not like I am a stranger to that sort of thing. And since it’s possible that I am actually older than your parents (and some of the guys where are old enough to have grand-daughters older than you) I wouldn’t be afraid of immature answers either.
