Australia's Mona asked a court to reverse its ruling that allowed men inside a women's only space.

Women-only spaces aren’t misandry

[–] TacoButtPlug 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Thank you. The reaction to this is vile. Thousands of years of bullshit for being a woman, one art exhibit, and now the dudes are screaming about re-restricting public space to women as if they came up with a thought provoking exercise.

Nope. I’m not supporting the feminist victim narrative here.

I’m just making a simple statement about what exclusive spaces do and do not mean. It’s not hateful to men to have women-only spaces.

Plenty of misandry exists in our culture, mostly fed by that victim narrative you’re espousing. But the simple act of making a woman’s club isn’t an example of misandry.

...and yet, how do you think it would be described if I opened a business that refused to accept women as customers?

One is being exercised as a demonstration and if there were places for women, like gyms it would be out of a feeling for a need for safety. The other was used to implement and maintain a foundationally masculine and abusive structure of power.

In short, they should be allowed to discriminate against men and not the reverse because men are an acceptable target?

Naw, you're right. Women shouldn't be allowed to protect themselves, ever. This can be accomplished by screaming discrimination. Much in the same way zionists scream antisemitism.
