[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

    Because there’s no reason why a shooting club needs to be gendered. If you can’t see the difference between a hobby club and a protected safe space for a certain group I don’t think we’ll see eye to eye on that issue.

    The toilet thing is a bit more complicated. Generally, women take longer to use the washroom for mechanical reasons, and the same toilet space is usually allotted to both genders while men’s bathrooms have urinals as well as toilets, which take up less space - more pissers per square foot, if you will. That’s why the lineup to a women’s washroom is usually longer, and why I would absolutely use a men’s washroom rather than piss myself.

    I’m fine with men using the women’s washroom when they need to. If there’s one thing everyone should be able to do regardless of the sign on the door, it’s taking a piss when they have to.

      So men are not allowed to choose their safe spaces, is that what you are saying?

      Or are you dictating which activities are allowed to be performed in a safe space?

      There are non-gendered shooting clubs. Why would it be not ok for there also to be gendered shooting clubs?

      In general, your post is all about “Safe spaces are only for me, screw everyone else”. That’s an asshole take.
