I think a lot of GC women want men to have their own spaces.

It's a diverse community. I think what unifies us is that we think our female bodies matter and we are critical of gender ideology (but even the nature of that critique differs depending on who you are talking to).

I hope they do let men participate in the sub so you guys can learn more about the perspectives of women there.

I recall a thread where the consensus was that women should have institutionalized spaces away from men IRL but not the reverse.

EG: Men making something like a gym male only wasn’t acceptable in the consensus view. I’d dig up the thread ... or countless other threads that exude extreme hateful bias against males, but the sub is gone.

Anyway, y’all as individuals might be cool. I’ve just seen some hateful shit on the original sub.

I don't know why so many people have quite a difficult time wrapping their minds around the idea that your body matters.

I usually ask them this: do you think you would be the same person if you were taller/shorter, fatter/thinner, etc?

If something as basic as that can shape your reality to such degree, imagine being born as the opposite sex.
