I like how you're both claiming "this doesn't happen" and it the same comment talking about why it happens lol

Huh? Way to spectacularly miss the point.

Just because something happens sometimes amongst some subsets of male people of a certain age group in some niche milieus in some cultures, places and eras doesn't mean the same thing happens all the time amongst all human beings of both sexes and all age groups in all milieus in all cultures, places and eras - or amongst females in their own culture and era of similar ages in analogous niche milieu settings.

Moreover, humans (and other animals) can and do engage in the same exact behaviors for very different reasons. A lot of human behavior is motivated by multiple different reasons at once, and serves several purposes simultaneously. But rather than see this, you insist that there is only one reason that sex segregation and specifically female-only spaces came about - and, worse, that "the reason" is the cockamamie one you've come up with.
