Fair enough. I just want job security and to not have to worry about being eliminated basically for being a male.
From what I've gathered co-working spaces are independent buildings. So I wouldn't worry about them intruding regular office spaces.
If they're intruding offices, yeah there is more need to worry. I don't want to come to work only to find out parts of the building are off limits because I'm a man and apparently a bunch of women find me too overbearing to be around.
If men want to start their own, I see nothing stopping them. But like I said before, men are more socially dominate (and often numerous) so I do not see the same incentive to have one.
The answer is, what are you going to do about it? Retreating to a female only space seems backwards to me. Instead they should stand up for themselves more. Not create a safe space to hide. All it does it not address problems and make them worse. [Staff edit].
In reality, you can't force people to be truly egalitarian, and when you can't, you need alternatives that work.
I know I can't. Still, it's productive to share one's own thoughts and concerns on the matter.
While I'm against discriminatory segregation, the right to segregate one's self for one's own protection seems like something we've overlooked in all of this.
I haven't overlooked all this. I just see it as regressive. Do women have issues, sure? But from glancing at the typical feminist many of them blow their problems out of proportion. And spaces like these will only serve as echo chambers. Think of them like in real life tumblr. Lol.
Best thing for women is to stand their ground and be bold. You've done enough coddling among yourselves. All you've really done is skew your problems into increasingly ridiculous directions.
As far as the article goes, I never got this safety vibe. Seemed to be more about women wanting to be surrounded by other womanly women. Which again, brain sex is on a spectrum. There are some men who would feel more at home in a woman's space than a men's space.
