Folks with vaginas, I'm conducting some family comparative analysis and I'd like to know how many standard pieces of toilet paper do you use when wiping after a pee. I posted some comments with options to upvote if you like.

Personally I don't see anything wrong with that at all. Commenting even if you don't have a vagina is absolutely not the same as speaking for everyone that does have one. In fact I haven't found a single comment that speaks for anyone but themselves.

If it's absolutely critical that only people with a vagina comments, OP should probably have put the question on a gendered ask community instead of the main one.

Some people just like to engage in the conversation about something they think is interesting even if it wasn't explicitly asked for. It's also interesting to compare delta-TP between genders.

Telling people to die seems a bit extreme for such a non issue.
