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.

It’s not prejudiced to want to have safe spaces. And it’s not prejudiced for oppressed people to want spaces free of their oppressors, be it females wanting spaces free of males or poc wanting spaces free of white people. Females wanting to have male free spaces is not just about fear. It’s about comfort, it’s about equality. It’s about not allowing males to dictate even womanhood. Females have a right to not want to change around males. To not want to compete for female specific opportunities against males. It is ridiculous to say that females are prejudiced for wanting female rights and spaces to remain for them. Was it prejudiced for suffragettes to march and protest to begin with? Because if you don’t think suffragettes were wrong, how is it now wrong for the new generations of females to want to maintain what our mothers and grandmothers and aunts etc fought for? (And lesbians have every right to want lesbian spaces to be for lesbians. Not males. Males can’t be lesbians. Because they are biologically male.)

And poc can want poc spaces because they have the commonality of not being white in a white dominated society. That’s not prejudice. It’s literally wanting a safe space for themselves. It’s disgusting as fuck for you to say that poc wanting to have their own spaces is rooted in prejudice. How out of touch must you be to say that?! I’m fairly confident that you are a young white male who understands nothing about how the world works outside of your bubble. If not, you’re just lost as fuck (and frankly if you’re not white your ignorance is disgraceful) and I hope time opens you eyes.

Fearing that a general set of people will harm you, as opposed to specific individuals, is prejudice. Sorry if that bothers you.

So how do we visually detect which males mean harm and which do not? Or do you mean that no woman anywhere is justified in excluding males and should always assume any male is harmless until she is harmed?
