Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Ian, could you do an automated tag on "wava" quicker than I could do them manually?

Sticking my hand up, I looked at the menopause and periods thread and thought about it. There are people who are non-binary and trans who will be affected by this so imo women shouldn't be a tag. Periods and menopause fall could fall under menstrual (like when in a shop instead of feminine health it's menstrual products)

Also there will be some women for whom the periods and menopause don't affect.

I’ve already cooked dinner, I’ve got to clear up next.

I had this internal debate earlier when I was tagging “Ladies Who Lift.” In the end I decided just to tag the activity and not the gender.

Yes, thinking about it, I would be inclined to leave out gender tags for peace and harmony.

I feel I've opened up more of a discussion than I meant to. OK, so if we don't use "women" as a tag, what do we use? If it is useful for someone who is interested in a thread about women's bikes or women's running shoes to see other threads about women's bikes or women's running shoes, how do we achieve this in a suitably sensitive way when the tags are, presumably, visible to all?

I did refer to "health" in my earlier post, but I suppose many gender-specific health issues have their own name anyway. So maybe that's not such a problem. It's where there's no gender-specific word but the item can be gender-specific.

As I say to my children, anything is for anybody.

I don't know what the alternative is, but nothing is gender specific.
