There's a dead comment at the bottom that I'm surprised is dead since it echoes the same thought I have.

Seems oddly sexiest, why? Obviously a MenMake version would be unacceptable but this is? —mraudiobook_com

I recognize the need to empower more women in general, especially coming from a country ranked 151 out of 153 countries on the Global Gender Gap Index Report 2020[0]. And I see that you've put a lot of hard work building this and it looks really good.

That said, is building a community where one class of gender is prioritized over another healthy? How is it better than a MenMake?

In my country, it's perfectly legal for employers to write "preference will be given to female [or male] candidates" or for businesses to create services specifically for a gender, like female drivers in ride-sharing services for female passengers. I find these to be well-meaning but ultimately sexist polices making it okay to treat people differently based on gender, which it already is here, sadly.

I also recognize that this is your own community and you're free to do with it as you wish, so please don't interpret this comment as a demand or anything. I'm just trying to understand something better myself.
