Honestly, dating posts are by far no where near the majority of posts on this sub. The large majority of posts are gender agnostic. It looks like you're honing in on the dating posts specifically because, as you said yourself, dating is just a subject you happen to think a lot about. > There was even a post I saw about stuttering and dating and the OP said something along the lines of "this is directed to the men" While dating as a stutterer is almost universally difficult and complicated, navigating the scene as a male, in a culture where gender-based expectations, imposed open you by both society as well as prospective partners, want to cast you into an initiative-taking and leading role that is made particularly difficult by stuttering, has very unique challenges of its own nature. This isn't detracting from the female stuttering experience. This is recognizing and calling attention to an issue that happens to be more common among males, which naturally other males are going to be more able to relate to. This is of course amplified by the fact that for whatever reason, stuttering afflicts males about 3-4 times more than it does women. > And i see a lot of other posts were it is specified that their posts or comments are only directed to men, as if women's struggles related to stuttering are just invalid. You needn't view this in a "female-exclusionary" sense. This is merely calling attention to a male issue and validating the grievances expressed by men. The non-stuttering world is often abjectly unable to relate to the difficulties expressed by stutterers, so where else could these feelings be shared but in communities like these? And as mentioned before, dating posts aren't even the majority of posts on this sub. > I feel like women's opinions and points of view are often not concidared on this sub. How long have you been on this sub? Across my many years here, I've come across *several* dating-centric posts from the female POV. Naturally these aren't as common as the male POV ones, but they're there.
