Rights I have hoarded, these have all been achieved in the last 60 years and I'm not about to let them out of my cupboard. (probably not a full list)
- termination of pregnancy
- free contraception from the NHS regardless of marital status

- unmutilated genitals (Prohibition of Female Circumcision Act 1985)
- not to be raped by my husband (1994)

- equal pay (1975)
- not to be discriminated against in work, education or training because I am a woman
- Statutory maternity leave
- to keep my job if I am pregnant
- to be paid the same as men for work of equal value (1985)
- equal rights if I work part time (1994)

- to apply for a loan or credit in my own names (before 1980 women did Not have this right)
- to be taxed independently of my husband (1990)
- to be served in a pub (before 1982 pubs could refuse to serve women)

I suspect that none of the above rights are the controversial ones.
The ones which we are accused of not sharing or need to be kinder with are those based on exemptions first set out in the Sex Discrimination Act.

The rights to single sex spaces, services and organisations, such as toilets, changing rooms, hospital wards, dormitories, rape crisis centres, refuges & abuse services...
Women campaigned for decades for the abolition of men's clubs, but these are not the same.

We campaigned to play golf, to watch sport and to open up the spaces in which men excluded women to do business and network keeping women out of power.

Our single sex spaces are there; for our privacy and dignity; to keep us safe from male predatory behaviour; to give us space to recover from that behaviour; to support women who have suffered in a sexist society; and to enable us to organise against sexism.
