I’m autistic. I’m well aware that I talk too much (meta-wise at least, maybe not always in the moment). I tend to be apologetic if I notice it and I am always trying to ask more questions. Makes for better conversation that way anyway.

If you really want techniques on how to end “passive gendered segregation,” then you need to adjust the character of cis men so they don’t feel that they’re being discriminated against at the exact same time they’re actually dominating things.

I don’t think this is the only reason passive gendered segregation happens. In fact its far from the primary reason. Especially in the US, the genders have been officially segregated for a huge portion of its history. That’s largely been dismantled (though not entirely frustratingly) but its residual effects have stubbornly stuck around. Its making everyone miserable.

This is largely motivated by religious puritanism and sex negative politics. Regardless if someone is an atheist or not, or if someone is a progressive leftist with sex positive values, we are all unsubtly mentally influenced to be heavily conservative about sexuality. Since most people are straight (or probably secretly bi tbh) this leads to segregation and in-group out-group politics that make men and women suspicious of each other at the outset.
