Your window into the female mind. This is a subreddit dedicated to asking women questions about behavior, anatomy, habits or anything else that might baffle you. We welcome inquiries from everyone into the mysteries of the feminine.
Our mission is to provide a place where all women can comfortably and candidly present their viewpoints for community discussion in a non-judgmental space. To further that goal, we have a few...

The quick and dirty version (click the graphic for the full set):

About what you post:

Use the search tool and FAQ before you post.
No pot-stirring.
No agenda questions. This is not your personal soapbox.
No dating/relationship advice questions.
No seeking medical advice.

About how you post it:

Posts titles must be descriptive and searchable using keywords, or will be removed.
No personal attacks.
No gendered slurs.
No graceless posts or comments generalizing gender.
No excluding groups of women based on demographics.
No misogyny, misandry, transphobia, ageism, racism, general assholery, or otherwise hateful or disrespectful commentary.
No derailing. Talk via PM or start a new thread.
No specifying majority demographics.

About links:

Links MUST be accompanied by a summary.
No posting personal pictures.
No linking to other forums.
No linking to /r/askwomen.
No self-promotion.
No using URL-shortening sites.

Violating any of these rules will result in moderator action.

Downvote only to indicate that either a comment or post does not add to discussion; not to indicate disagreement. AskWomen benefits from honest answers with a variety of perspectives. On that note, saying, "Be honest," is rude and unnecessary.
Use the report button on all comments and posts that violate the rules in the sidebar.
Add flair! We have flair for men, women, transgender, and gender neutral.
Be specific: ask a general question, get a general answer.
Whether you are a woman or a man, please do not speak for all women. While men can still offer input, if your view conflicts with a woman's, we ask that you do not downvote or invalidate her response.

One issue I have with that list. It said "When I drive recklessly, it's not attributed to my sex."
Insurance companies charge higher rates on young male drivers than young female drivers, so sorry, that is bullshit. It's called gender discrimination, but apparently as long as its directed against men Cough* affirmative action* Cough, you're all A OK with it.
Why do women make up the majority in college now if all this educational discrimination against women things were true? Girls are proven to be ahead, on average, of boys in elementary; so that "raising hands" part was also bullshit.

[–]♀celestialism 11 points12 points13 points
I agree with you there. However, I think the list is referring to attributions made by people in general, not by insurance companies alone. I've heard people say that women are bad drivers more than I can count; I've never heard anyone say that men are bad drivers, though I do know that insurance companies think that.

That's true; I've heard guys say that. Most parents I know are WAY more concerned about young men driving though, them being statistically more likely to partake in risky behaviors like drinking and driving, or drag racing. The more bright you are; the more broad your experience; the more you know that fact.
I believe I heard that a woman won some NASCAR tournament last year. Ignorant people hold stereotypes. The more ignorant; the more likely you are to be either racist and/or sexist.

That's not the point they're making, what they're saying is
Ignorant people hold stereotypes.
(Not the insurance companies have statistics/stereotypes about male drivers.)

You don't hear people going "Heh, male drivers" though, whenever there's a crash or accident.

Im not unprepared, but everyone else did not feel the need to inject serious feminism. Do you expect me to thoroughly go through the list and give my thoughts?
[+]♀celestialism 15 points16 points17 points  (5 children)
[–]♀celestialism 15 points16 points17 points
I wasn't "injecting serious feminism" (which wouldn't be a bad thing, anyway), I was answering your question. Evidently the answer bothered you. Don't ask questions if the answers will bother you.
And no, I never asked you to go through the list and share your thoughts. I shared the link incase you didn't know what male privilege meant and wanted to know more.
