Males in female spaces thread

hi @MNHQ. I see that you deleted my thread, with the following message:

’We've received some reports about this thread and have decided to delete it - its premise generalises negatively about an entire group of people, which is not something we allow.’

Please could you clarify which group it was negatively generalising about?

I am worried that you censoring this type of discussion means that women cannot discuss the risks of male violence and of other lower level uncomfortable experiences that women have, particularly when in a state of undress or otherwise vulnerable.

Pointing out the obvious or hurting male feelings?

Ridiculous.

The negativity was about males invading female spaces. What a shame that the moderators decided, once again, that mens feelings should supersede women’s safety and dignity. Shame.

I would like to know the specifics too please. Was it negative generalisations about trans people or GC women?

Was it my OP or a reply?

thanks

What, specifically, about the concerns voiced by women about men in female spaces caused you to delete that thread @KimMumsnet ?

This is why people think it’s ok. Criticism and concerns get deleted. The facts are there, we just can’t discuss them. It’s a travesty that it was deleted.
