[a sign reads FEMINIST CONFERENCE next to a closed door, a blue character shrugs and says…]
I don’t care

[next to the same door, the sign now says RESTRICTED FEMINIST CONFERENCE WOMEN ONLY, there are now four blue characters desperately banging on the door, one is reduced to tears on the floor, they are shouting]
DISCRIMINATION
SO UNFAIR!!!
LET US IINN!!
MISANDRY

    No, I get it why they are upset. Their feelings are hurt by a space existing that they are specifically excluded from. This is the same for any other situation that would say they are excluded from.

    I for example, would not feel terrible if I didn’t study to be an Engineer because I don’t care about it. But having the possibility outright denied because of a factor not really from a fault of mine (like being too short, or from the wrong bloodline, or something similar) would make me pretty bitter.

    I learned to not care and be Zen about people having secrets, and secret clubs, and things I never can.

    Except for the Engineer one, I am still pretty bitter about it.
