Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.

Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.

A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.

Love Y'all and thank you for following this community

I think poster is just making it clear that in the context of this post (and life) women are subjected to strange men's "advice" and are in fact pressured by street strangers to conform to male desire, a phenomenon men are not subjected to. You're comment didnt explicitly diminish that fact, but i can see how someone reading it might feel the need to clarify the difference

Ah. Yeah, I didnt mean to diminish anything. Kind of annoying people are so combative, tho.

Are you sure men are not subjected to something similar? Granted, no random women came to me on the street, but I received all kinds of weird "advice" by distantly acquainted women as a young man, which in all honesty also felt like "pressuring me to conform to female desire"

Granted, no random women came to me on the street

I'm not trying to play gotcha or nothin but yeah you agree that's not the same thing. If you want more info, don't take my random-ass internet stranger's word for it, ask any of your female friends how very different their experience is to yours.

And tone check yo, I'm not saying your comment is bad or that it's bad to try and empathize with the female experience by comparing it to your own as a male. That's kinda how empathy works, yeah? But if you don't have that specific experience it's important to understand you're only guessing.

Its just as important, especially cuz we're on the net to make sure that's what a commenter is doing, trying to empathize, because tone is tough to gauge in this forum and both bad actors and ignorance abound.
