I have no idea what there is not to understand about this…and why it’s mostly men complaining about “protecting women’s spaces”, lol.

This might upset some people, and you know what? Good.
If this upsets you, at least the others will know and the trash can take itself out.

    They don’t increase the risk and those women who want to gatekeep a fucking bathroom are TERFs.

        I’m agreeing and bolstering your comment, sorry if it came off blunt and like I was correcting you!

          Fuck it. The time to politely engage on this issue is long gone. Even if we come off as aggressive, the pushback needs to be extreme.

            Hah oh I feel this very much - I have a reputation around Lemmy for being the meanie feminist kill joy. I just also recognize im_fine_sandy and I’m pretty sure they’re an ally :)

              Not sure I’m an ally but certainly not an adversary. I think I’m ambivalent but try to understand everyone’s perspective.

                Eh I usually recognize usernames if they are particularly ornery and so far I’ve only seen pretty chill comments from you. I’ll take not an adversary and maybe we can convert you into being an ally :)

              Feminist? Absolutely and that’s a great thing. The world need waay more feminists.
              Killjoy tho? Not in the slightest.

                One of the few good things my narcissist mother did was instill strong feminist values in me from a very young age.

                As a now old, I just keep getting angrier that society is backsliding on this somehow. Fucking Gilead.
