Women are constantly explaining why we need women-only spaces, often sharing traumatic experiences.

So how do the men do it? What arguments do they put forward to retain men-only spaces?
1. Just say you took a vote on it and it didn't pass

womensagenda.com.au/latest/mens-on…
2. Say men-only spaces are not against the law.
3. Say the request is based on "fallacious reasoning" followed by some unintelligible gobbledygook.
4. Say the women members you'd get would be women you wouldn't want (clearly the women you'd want would never want to become members).

5. Say the men-only space is the only place you can get away from bossy women.
6. Refuse an inquiry or survey because it would be a waste of money.
7. Accuse the women wanting to join of envy and jealousy.

8. Appeal to the established order of things.
9. Tell the women not to worry about being excluded from vital networking opportunities because no networking happens on the premises.

10. It's not an Old Boys' Club, it's an old people's home with wine.

Point 1 again. I think we should give this a try.
11. Publicly reject a very famous and beloved woman. That should put other women off from even trying.
12. Just don't bother responding at all.
Starting to detect a pattern here.

13. Don't install women's facilities.

14. Make sure people don't know you exist.
15. Use those non-existing networking opportunities to get a parliamentary committee to back you up.

16. Lie.
17. Tell people they should just butt out.
18. Accuse your opponents of political correctness.

19. Appeal to market forces.
20. Allow them in but given them shitty slots.
21. Allow them in but with restricted access.
I see quite some points where we can take inspiration from the men 😍
Fun fact to end this thread: Bruce Jenner continued to be a member of the exclusive men-only exclusive Sherwood Country Club after changing his name to Caitlyn. They did build him a special bathroom though🥰okmagazine.com/photos/caitlyn…

Ik kwam deze vragenlijst uit maart 2023 tegen die het @nocnsf onder sportbonden heeft verspreid als hulpmiddel om hun "inclusie en diversiteit" te meten:

Is bij het opstellen hiervan rekening gehouden met een mogelijke inbreuk op de rechten van vrouwen? nocnsf.nl/media/kt5dae2z…
Q022 - openheid_sportclub	Single coded  In hoeverre is het binnen jouw sportclub mogelijk voor LHBTIQA+'ers om hier open over te zijn?  LHBTIQA+ is de afkorting van lesbisch, homoseksueel, biseksueel, transgender, intersekse, queer/questioning en aseksueel/aromantisch. De plus geeft aan dat de term inclusief is voor mensen die zichzelf anders noemen dan waar deze letters voor staan.
In de vragenlijst wordt gender- en queerideologie expliciet als basis genomen, zoals blijkt uit het taalgebruik: "LHBTIQA+ is de afkorting van lesbisch, homoseksueel, biseksueel, transgender, intersekse, queer/questioning en aseksueel/aromantisch" @nocnsf
@nocnsf Zijn de mogelijke consequenties voor vrouwen en meisjes van de omarming van deze ideologieën vooraf besproken en geanalyseerd? Staat @nocnsf op het standpunt dat het mogelijk is het eigen geslacht te bepalen/kiezen ("genderidentiteit")?

My daughter won a DiscoverEU card so she can travel by train through Europe for a month for free! Already the attached FB group had a guy trying to meet up with female travellers, assaulting one. Police are involved. My daughter hasn’t even left yet.
This is the reality of being female. She can’t identify out of this. I can’t identify out of worrying for her safety and having to have conversations about that with her. This is what it means to be a woman.
Thankfully DiscoverEU reacted promptly by throwing him@out of the FB group and warning female participants about him. The young women (they’re all 18-19) are posting his name and picture and the places he said he would travel to warn others.

So I was still in bed when my daughter texted me on her way to the bus stop but I was so furious I got dressed, got in the car and looked for the bin truck.
It turned out it was a different one than the one carrying the harasser, and the bin men (themselves fathers) were very friendly and helped me track down the presumed perpetrator to whom I talked on the phone.
He denied having harassed my daughter. Funny that, isn't it? Tells you they know damn well what they're doing isn't right.

Oh lovely, an app that lets you appoint a “guardian” who can follow your every move and alert your guardian when you change pace or stop walking. An abuser’s dream!
An app to help keep women safe on the street should be about women being able to share the presence of creepy men and reporting them to the police if necessary. It should always be focussed on men.
Did your boyfriend or father just leave the house drunk or in a rage? Track his whereabouts and share it with other women in the app. Porn-addled colleague walking the streets? Track him with your Creep Tracker app!

How can you determine if someone is "trans" if you can't determine their sex?
How can you determine someone's sex if it's not tied to the body?
How do you know you are "cisgender"? What if the doctor/midwife/your mother just lied about what you looked when you came out of the womb?

Mag een man die zegt vrouw te zijn een kleedruimte delen met tienermeisjes? Check welke partijen het idee van zelf-identificatie steunen, waarbij iedereen zelf mag bepalen wat voor geslacht hij/zij is. #stemwijzer #verkiezingen2021 voorzij.nl/kieswijzer-vro…
Als je wel hebt gehoord over de discussie over transgenderrechten maar niet precies weet waar het nu over gaat, PeachYoghurt kan het goed in gewonemensentaal uitleggen (wel in het Engels). #stemwijzer #Verkiezingen2021

Heb je er wel eens over nagedacht wat het betekent voor vrouwen als een man officieel als vrouw behandeld mag worden als hij zelf zegt dat hij een vrouw is? De meeste politieke partijen steunen dit idee van zelf-identificatie. voorzij.nl/kieswijzer-vro… #Stemwijzer #Verkiezingen2021
