      Thank you. The reaction to this is vile. Thousands of years of bullshit for being a woman, one art exhibit, and now the dudes are screaming about re-restricting public space to women as if they came up with a thought provoking exercise.

        Nope. I’m not supporting the feminist victim narrative here.

        I’m just making a simple statement about what exclusive spaces do and do not mean. It’s not hateful to men to have women-only spaces.

        Plenty of misandry exists in our culture, mostly fed by that victim narrative you’re espousing. But the simple act of making a woman’s club isn’t an example of misandry.

      …and yet, how do you think it would be described if I opened a business that refused to accept women as customers?

        One is being exercised as a demonstration and if there were places for women, like gyms it would be out of a feeling for a need for safety. The other was used to implement and maintain a foundationally masculine and abusive structure of power.

          In short, they should be allowed to discriminate against men and not the reverse because men are an acceptable target?
