http://www.reddit.com/r/needadvice/ This is actually for non-romantic-relationship advice but other types of interpersonal relationships may be appropriate

http://www.reddit.com/r/WeMetOnReddit/ They're pretty new but it's for friends or romantic relationships that start on reddit.

Inherent Girliness
Proposed Change: Girliness and Womanhood

Not sure if this counts as 'inherent girliness' or not http://www.reddit.com/r/aww

Not sure whether these count as "girliness" but there seem to be a lot of craft-related posts that would be better served on these subreddits:

http://www.reddit.com/r/gender/ is kinda small but perhaps relevant

Generally, the answer is "no."

Not the same at all. :\ Check out our sidebar :)

I agree. They're definitely not the same thing, but sometimes people want a harsh criticism of how they look.
I generally peruse r/amiugly just to tell people, "no, you're not ugly." I'll probably start redirecting them to BodyAcceptance.

Thank you, I didn't know about this one.

Given the spike of interest this group covers all the cups and varying issues with the cups, along with comparisons, review and a swap section.

This is a bit late, but I wanted to point out that linking to http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=twoxchromosomes Is a decent way to get onto IRC with just the web browser.

Best Birth Control Threads
Edit: If anyone has favorite IUD, Implanon, Nuvaring, or birth control pill threads, please suggest here. You know there are always questions about those coming up.

Not a thread but a very useful link provided by remain_calm: http://bedsider.org/
Also there's the PP Chart: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-topics/birth-control/birth-control-effectiveness-chart-22710.htm

This is the most recent review of the various contraceptive methods that I could find:
Mansour, Diana (12/2010). "Efficacy of contraceptive methods: a review of the literature". The European journal of contraception & reproductive health care (1362-5187), 15 Suppl 2 (s2), p. S19.
Our review broadly confirms the hierarchy of contraceptive effectiveness in descending order as: (1) female sterilisation, long-acting hormonal contraceptives (LNG-IUS and implants); (2) Cu-IUDs with ≥ 300 mm2 surface area; (3) Cu-IUDs with < 300 mm2 surface area and short-acting hormonal contraceptives ( injectables, oral contraceptives, the patch and vaginal rings), (4) barrier methods and natural methods.
I talked about this in my post here.

These are not on Reddit however they've been useful to others in previous threads:
1
Can we have a women's issues category? http://www.reddit.com/r/feminisms can go there, as can r/bodyacceptance
4
[deleted]
2
I think social issues/social justice might be a good category...or women's rights or something?
9
Maybe I'll change "Inherent Girliness" to "Girliness and Womanhood."
2
But Body acceptance is not just a women's subreddit.
And feminism probably belongs better in either communities or a social justice area.

Rules
4
Cross-posting in a manner that encourages drama (i.e., linking to a controversial comment or post elsewhere on reddit that will inevitably result in a downvote army) is highly discouraged. If you must reference a post or comment, link within self-post text.
Cross-posting to advertise your fabulous new subreddit, however, is fine.
10
No drama. No masked bigotry. No trolling.
We do what we can to keep this an actively moderated subreddit. Use the report button or message the mods when you see an issue.

I am TrollBeGone. I am not averse to transparency. I exist to remove unabashedly fucked up trolls who do not want to be reasoned with so that the other mods don't have to deal with troll spam. Trolls I remove cross lines past reddiquette and don't deserve the time of day.

I'd consider it if it really were of community concern. Advice on how to deal with sexual assault is equally deserving of sidebar space dedicated to that support, don't you think, especially if there are emergencies? I'm trying to level the playing field here so we don't have to pick and choose which few worthy subreddits to feature.

OneY is pretty small so I'm not sure even if all its active readership were to agree with me on this, it would comprise a large enough part of the twoX community to merit any special privileges.
I can definitely where your coming from though, i just kind of see twoX and OneY as two sides of the same coin as they cover the same kinds of topic, so while in the case of an emergency you get redirected to a subreddit on that topic, oneY and twoX are the same topic thus more closely linked in my mind. Granted this is subjective and based off the way i use the subreddits and i'll concede i'm not really the target audience or a typical user so my views could be pretty off, i have no idea how many people come via the reddit in response to sexual assault's and things like that.
<web developer> As kinda a irrelevant note, i don't know if you get any analytics's on the reddit, but if you do i'd keep an eye on how the sidebar is used post-change. Generally (on most sites at least) my experience is that having intermediary pages for links can have disastrous effects on the traffic coming though them, i don't really have much to go on in terms of browsing habbits for reddit but mine at least also kinda fit with it "/ Basically many people arn't willing to load one page to load another, even more so when pages load quite slowly which reddit is often guilty of :/ Not to say this will happen or that traffic throughput is even really a concern given the context, but my inner dev told me i had to comment anyways :P </web developer>Thanks for bothering to read my ramblings :) + thought i should mention, this is probably one of my fav sub reddits so kudos to you for creating it. Its great :)
