As the other thread got deleted can I rant here please?

Do people seriously not get that the difference between 'men only' spaces 'whites only' spaces and 'woman only' spaces is that woman have (and still are) been an oppressed group whereas men and whites have traditionally been the oppressors? Is men wanting to enter woman's spaces not a bit like whites demanding the right to enter Native American reservations? Or am I not getting it? If I am getting it how do I get it through to others?

Mainly a lurker, but I'm starting to really like this board and am very impressed with a lot of the posters on it.

One poster suggested asking people who said that why they thought whites / men might need their own spaces to illustrate that it (mostly) doesn't make sense.

To me it's just common sense. But I'm starting to be made to feel like I'm the bigoted one?

Its not that you don't get it. People who use that argument are abusive.

One counter argument is 'do white people have the right to demand access to a meeting organized by Black people.'
Or
'Do men have a right to demand access to the women only space in a synagogue, temple or mosque.'
