Hi, glad you're in a good mood :) So only 20% of questions are posted anonymously and these tend to be highly personal or sensitive topics. The rest users post openly as themselves and we use real names and profiles.

I think the main thing here is that men cannot advise women on issues that are related to being a woman. Sure there are other topics that men could indeed contribute and add value but the reason women are joining shello is to hear from other women.

There are already platforms like Quora and Reddit where its open to all, but are predominantly male-heavy, but hardly any where women can drive the conversations.

I'm glad you're glad. :)

Re. "the main thing", it would really help me out if you could provide some examples of issues that relate to being a man, that a women cannot advise a man on.

Err, I’m not confident to give you examples of questions that relate to being a man, because I’m not a man. It’s a shame that some guys can’t see there is stuff that they just wouldn’t be able to help a woman with. I’m sure you have an idea of questions that only another guy would better be able to help you with. Maybe a problem with your penis? Or something intimately related to being a guy that women will not have experienced?
