[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 they are a male safe space where men can be among themselves. There are plenty of non-gendered shooting clubs, so here’s a question to ask yourself: Why would a woman need to be part of exactly the one that is gendered?
It’s obviously not about access to a shooting club, since she could just join a non-gendered one.
So why exactly does she need to abolish a men’s safe space?
Does the feminist meeting above have special words only vaginas can say?
So what exactly is it about men about themsleves they can’t do around women? What makes this an equivalence to the women’s lemmy community group and its mission as defined?
I mean you’re trying to use the words, show the concepts .
Genderswap your statement and you start to understand the issue. What is it about women that they cannot do or talk around men?
It seems to me like you don’t think of men as humans.
Men aren’t excluded from the comm.
They’re just asked not to speak
The club isn’t allowing women to be present at all
Now do you see the false equivalence?
So you’re saying women should be allowed, we should ask them not to speak while at the club… Are you sure you’re not Republican or something?
That opinion is somehow even worse… Nice catch.
Yeah, the false equivalency is that you are saying that safe spaces don’t matter unless you want them.
You are arguing in bad faith.
The club doesn’t matter to you. You don’t even know which club it is. You don’t even know which country this is about. The club doesn’t affect you in any way, but you are against it, because you are against safe spaces for men.
Men are human too, no matter what you think.
Come back with something other than strawmen
Ok, let’s step back from your litte offtopic strawman excursion to some random lemmy community:
Do you think there should be any female-only safe spaces where men are not allowed? Yes or no, simple question.
