It’s not prejudiced for females to be weary of males or want spaces free from them.

It’s not prejudiced for poc to be weary of white people and feel unsafe around them, or to want safe spaces for themselves.

It’s not prejudiced for lesbians to not want to have to be around/share spaces with males.

Can you explain why it’s prejudiced?

Because it fits the definition. From wiki:

"Prejudice[1] is an affective feeling towards a person based on their perceived group membership. The word is often used to refer to a preconceived, usually unfavourable, evaluation of another person based on that person's political affiliation, sex, gender, beliefs, values, social class, age, disability, religion, sexuality, race, ethnicity, language, nationality, complexion, beauty, height, occupation, wealth, education, criminality, sport team affiliation or other personal characteristics."

You just feel that their prejudice is justified due to the statistics of the situation.

You just feel that their prejudice is justified due to the statistics of the situation.

Statistics? How many sexist/racist/homophobic encounters does an individual have to personally endure before they’re allowed to want their own spaces, where they can feel safe amongst people who have common lived experiences? You realize (hopefully) that poc, women, and the lgb all experience encounters, treatment, language, abuse, ridicule etc that you chalk up to statistics on a regular basis? That it’s not “statistics” it’s reality. We don’t want our own safe spaces because of history- we want it because of present day issues. For example: you telling us that wanting space for ourselves free from people who are more privileged than us who treat us like shit makes us prejudiced. We want those spaces to get the fuck away from people like you.

You're allowed to want whatever, but that doesn't disqualify what you want from being an example of prejudice.

Lmao I almost admire your ability to cling to the horrible things you say even when nobody (except maybe masks) agrees with you and everyone thinks what you’re saying is shitty and insensitive to others. You’re the embodiment of the phrase “the confidence of a mediocre white male”. Must be nice.
