No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

You seem to be engaging with me in good faith, so I will tell you that I disagree. In my opinion, this thread has not gone well for you because your defensiveness and attempt to control the narrative by deleting comments has made it seem like you are unwilling to accept the feedback that you made this post to ask for. Even your wording in your original post tries to control the outcome of the responses you get by narrowly interpreting misogyny.
You could have simply asked the question, absorbed the feedback, and moved on. I disagreed with some of the name calling that has been thrown your way, but that doesn’t excuse your behavior either.
Perhaps I’m wrong, but you’ve given me the impression that you are probably young (I’m guessing under 25) and rather ignorant when it comes to the inaccuracies of gender stereotypes. I honestly believe if you listened more and argued less, you would learn some valuable things and get less negative feedback from people online.
One thing is for sure—you’ve made quite a splash in your first 13 days with this Lemmy account, and it doesn’t seem to be in a good way. Maybe you should reflect on that rather than dodge responsibility for it by blaming downvote bias.
I’ve already stated my opinion, and you are entitled to yours. All I can say is that I think you should give some thought to how your choices and words may have contributed to the reaction you got, regardless of whether or not you think it was justified.
This type of reaction doesn’t happen to most Lemmy users.
