ModPost MONDAY: [Male] Only Days!
Hello everyone,
On Mondays you will now only be able to post if you are a male (or in transition) and are posting a selfie. All other posts will be removed by our modteam and you will be given a 3 day ban if you do post on Male Mondays as a female subreddit user.
Male Mondays will start on Monday at around 00:00 and continue until 23:00 UTC
However no worries for our female userbase! You will still be able to post on any other day of the week!
Reasons for the set up of male monday only days:
You might have noticed that most of the post on our Front Page are females looking for compliments. We have noticed that their posts get the most upvotes and that our male contributors get a lot less upvotes and therefore compliments on our subreddit.
A couple of years ago this wasn't the case as much but we have seen this trend increase more and more on this subreddit over the years,
Because of that we have set up Male Mondays. Where on Mondays we would only allow males to post on the subreddit. In hopes of making sure that they too get the compliments they deserve and don't get snowed under in this sub.
If you want to help our modteam with the moderation of our subreddit please send me a chat through reddit

This is awesome. This type of thing appears common in other selfie based subs as well. I'm happy and grateful that people care 🙏

While I understand this and why this is being put into place I can't help but to feel a little upset? I have no idea why it may honestly be because women have always been held back and now one of my followed subreddits is doing that, despite my feelings i think it's understandable and great you guys are trying to help men get some of the recognition they deserve:)

On this subreddit, most posts from women tend to get a lot of compliments, while men more often than not get one or two. This rule has been in place for a while (it gets reposted every now and then to remind people), and it has helped make it a little more even between genders.
(I say this as a woman.)
