yeah that last point you mention is huge. thank ya

“I’m open to the idea of women only spaces if they serve a function”

1. who asked though? these spaces are for healing and safety and those who need to heal and recharge make the rules. we dont need your okay to create space the way we need it.
2. that doesn’t prevent other/additional groups forming which ALSO include men, any queer folks, nb, trans.

and those people know that.

so what exactly is the problem with women only safe spaces?

but that wouldnt be a safe space for afab women.

sure: when (and that is quite often unfortunately) women who seek these spaces have been abused by men repeatedly and can’t risk another trauma trigger.

and feminist men know where they’re welcome. so it’s rarely (in my own experience never) truly feminist men who want to join those spaces because they understand boundaries.

I can only say be the change you want to see. It creates a chain reaction that will eventually reach men that wouldn’t touch the book.

even a small step in the right direction of confronting patriarchy will have powerful results.

good point, but I fear that just creating male only spaces will not solve the problem with male loneliness. as can be seen in x-pill communities.

what men need to heal male loneliness is learn about how patrairchy has shaped their fathers & generations beyond, and how they haven’t learned to approach emotions in a healthy way.

a good book I HIGHLY recommend men to read is Bell Hooks - “The will to change”

she explains what damage patriarchy did to men and how to access and feel emoti8ns fully

I wish for all men to be seen fully in your entire vulnerability. we’re waiting for you.

there are women only spaces for our protection and safety… (which is why we’re open to trans people as well)

there are men only spaces because they want to exclude women / maintain their power (fraternities, lodges)

it is VERY important that humans today learn this difference.

i mean yeah that helps the growth of idiocracy so is it a surprise?

oh no their feet get wet thats so terrible

how about putting them in some hole in the ground where people can shit on

thanks. your reply is appreciated. It can be difficult to know what to do in times of so much chaos and new information on a daily basis while attempting to know whats true and what is BS, especially as a not so educated person.

Bigger part of me agrees with your post but I still feel like him being presented as dement and “not knowing what he says” gives him too much protection; in the form of plausible deniability (for lack of a more fitting term)

what is the right game plan?

good tradwife bot
