Yeah I've noticed this too. I think the reason why some men get unnerved when they hear women say they'd prefer to have some sanctions and places separated from men, they take it as offense thinking that women are saying that every single man on earth is out to hurt them and that isn't true. It's just that some places where women feel vulnerable, they just want to be safe and I don't think that's something that men should get offended by. It's not that women want to avoid us men in all areas of life, just the places where they are most vulnerable.

Another thing that helped me see this perspective is when I heard so many "what about's" from men who try to turn it and say that women were always trying to barge into men's spaces and when I did look into that, I just didn't see much of that at all. I mean outside of pursuing careers in male dominated spaces like engineering and the military, I wasn't seeing women demanding to be in things like Boy Scouts or going into men's changing rooms and/or restrooms, and so on.
