[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
I mean…on the flip side, do women have discussions that only vaginas can have?
you can both be right here, because both sides are equally valid.
just to add,
during the civil rights movement it was important to have equity, and I’d say when it comes to gender equity we’re far more progressive about it today than 60 years ago.
I would say it’s only fair to have gender blocked communities as a form of equity. whereas before women didn’t even have the option to have a safe space unlike today.
Very different arrangement.
The group online is asking for women only to speak (you can be a member, you can read posts, just limited on who can speak), because women’s voices are drowned out
Men aren’t being overwhelmed and chased from gun clubs by hordes of women
I agree that women have the right to create communities where male voices are limited or silenced.
I disagree that it’s a different arrangement.
in the spirit of equity it’s only fair that men are afforded the exact same rights as women. this would include the right to create communities where female voices are limited or silenced.
regardless of if women are utilizing their right to join gun clubs doesn’t negate the right to a safe space to anybody.
This here. I don’t quite get how someone can argue that safe spaces for one gender should exist but not for the other gender.
Everyone needs safe spaces, and women’s safe spaces aren’t threatened at all by the existence of men’s safe spaces.
There seems to exist a radical subsection of fundamental feminists who are against anything that might be good for men on principle. Kinda how there’s a radical subsection of male assholes who believe the same for women. People like that suck and are exactly why we can’t have nice things.
