    you can’t give rights to one demographic and deny to another because you think the other is ‘icky’.

    Literally nobody said this. My whole point is that equality isn’t achieved by “applying the same rules equally” (as the person I responded to said) to people who aren’t on an equal playing field.

    You don’t solve inequality by giving both those who have less and those who have more the same amount. That just maintains the status quo.

    edit: Y’all really need to learn about substantive equality.

    liberals trying to understand equality: “what do you mean we need to give only to the poor? it’s only equal if we give the same amount to the rich!”

    you need only ask yourself for what reason men-only groups exclude women and for what reason women-only groups exclude men to understand why protecting and elevating women’s groups and dismantling misogynistic institutions are both valid


  • “Here’s the thing. No reasonable person has an issue with women having their own women’s activity groups. The annoying part is that whenever men try to do something similar, that’s a problem. Women either want them banished or demand entry, EVERY time.”

    Men exclude women because men view women as inferior, women exclude men because men view women as inferior.
