Meaning there isn't an instance for women, nor are there multiple communities - as far as I know there's just this one community.

this is a bit of how Blahaj works as I understand it, so it's a good model - if anything I would think Blahaj might already be poised for this kind of instance-level protection of women

EDIT:

one of the Blahaj guidelines does include removing bigotry, including sexism, and would be a candidate for a safe space for women:

Inclusion and Acceptance

Embracing inclusion and acceptance means listening when people tell you who they are and what their needs are. It means not telling people that you know their experiences better than they do. It means not gatekeeping experiences of identities of others. It means no bigotry such as racism, sexism, anti LGBT commentary, ableism etc. It means doing your best to ensure that you don’t over-talk the voices of folk who don’t share your privileges.

That said, the women spaces on Blahaj are mostly for trans women, so a more general women's community would be nice.

unfortunately I think this is the current answer, at least on Lemmy.

was trying to figure out what the stats are on vision impairment, and found this:

https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/study-finds-most-americans-have-good-vision-14-million-are-visually-impaired

A National Institutes of Health (NIH) study has found that although 94 percent of Americans aged 12 and older have good vision, the remaining six percent, or 14 million, are visually impaired.

So 6% of Americans are visually impaired, and of those, 3/4 can be corrected with glasses.

yes, very pro body pillows, though as you're saying, they don't have to be Japanese comfort pillows to be a body pillow 😆

In case you don't get it:

spoiler2NA sounds like "tuna" (two-nah -> toonah)

I read this in the voice of Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

it helped me understand this better once I knew a dakimakura is one of those Japanese body pillows
