Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend [email protected] for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

WomensStuff @piefed.blahaj.zone LadyButterfly she/her @piefed.blahaj.zone Funtime Friday... Monkeys paw!
Another week SMASHED! We're gonna play monkeys paw. Person 1 says a wish, and Person 2 corrupts it. So for example... "I wish a million dollars" the monkeys paw would be something like "You only get it when you're 60". Person 2 then says their own wish.
Have fun and stick within the community rules!

WomensStuff @piefed.blahaj.zone SharkWeek @lemmy.blahaj.zone Dealing with guilt over anger
Big text dump incoming ...
A couple of weeks ago I completely fell apart; I was ill, and pushed myself beyond my limits. The outcome was the most honest conversation I've ever had with my wife, and the conclusion we came to is that I need to air my emotions so I can process them healthily.
So, I've been trying to do that. I've cried at sad bits of TV shows, laughed joyously while teaching my wife to dance, and this last week at work I let myself be angry at incompetence.
When I was little I had emotional problems, and the solution at that time was physical discipline. Since coming through that I've been reserved and private, and taken a certain pride in being able to remain calm no matter what.
When I was angry at work I was careful not to direct it at a person, I focused on the task of fixing the problem. While doing this a member of my team came over to give me an update on his work, I nodded and said ok (all that was really needed) and he looked like a deer caught between

WomensStuff @piefed.blahaj.zone celeste @kbin.earth Steel-toed work shoe suggestions?
My local discount store doesn't have my size in work shoes right now (US 7.5 women's, 5.5 men's) and I was wondering where people buy them online.
The discount ones usually last me 2-3 years, and the mid range ones were the same. Super expensive and high quality might last longer, but I can't really afford them tbh. The absolute cheapest I got had the soles fall off while walking on a hot roof, so some known quality would be nice.
I'd prefer steel over composite, because the composite is the failure point this time. With steel it was always something else.
I'll probably end up picking up a new pair when I have more reasons to travel to a different store, but it doesn't hurt to hear people's suggestions. They can be boots or sneakers. I just want the right size.
