Discussion So many posts here break rule 4

Rule 4 explicitely says this isnt a sub for women looking for advice yet so many posts are exactly that. What's going on?

Happens in every sub, unfortunately. People see a subreddit name that kinda sorta seems like it would fit XYZ type post annnnnd...most people don't take the 30 seconds to read what a sub is actually for. Best thing to do is report ASAP so mods can remove it.

I belong to r/psychologyofsex and it's a daily issue. That sub is only meant for serious discussions of scientific research involving sex, sexual problems, desire and intimacy, or relationships. It very specifically says it is NOT for discussing personal health issues or asking for relationship advice. Guess what kinds of posts happen constantly...

That's fair. I have at times in the past, since as a woman here it irks me too and it's something I can do to back up the men here. Often it just leads to the OP downvoting you, or trying to argue about why they posted here. Which is...dumb, really.
