There shouldn't be such thing as gender x only spaces. Or race, or sexuality. The women aren't wrong about their points, but that doesn't make it an acceptable or thankfully, legal thing to do. I'm sure the guy who sued them did it for all the wrong reasons though. Both sides seem a bit slimy.

You know who actually want women-only spaces?

Women.

Please share your mental gymnastics for how a rape survivor is supposed to feel safe in your space.

Sincerely, a rape survivor
