Women-only spaces always seems to lead to TERF-dom. You’d think people would learn eventually. It just reinforced heteronormativity and viewing gender through a binary lense. It sows division.
A lot of the posts people complain about these spaces could very well be made by cis women who just aren’t perfomatively feminine enough. The “No True Scotsman” fallacy and all that. Back when I was on Reddit whitepeopletwitter and blackpeopletwitter used to have drama all the time about the racial identities of people using anime girls as profile pictures.
Yeah, you guys. We shouldn’t let women talk among themselves, they’re so irresponsible it ALWAYS leads to the EXACT SAME place. Let’s make sure we keep an eye on these females, just to make sure they’re not getting out of line. Pfft, “women only?” You’d think we’d learn by now! These women NEED a man to keep them track, we know what ALWAYS happens. Jesus christ.
Are you suggesting that women are such dainty and delicate creatures, they can’t handle a man’s internet? They need protected from the smarter and meaner 14 year old boys from 4chan?
Maybe the real solution is to just keep everything separate but equal? That famously works out well for everyone and never leads to any issues /s
