I've been reading these threads over a few years now.
Initially I was skeptical but having seen the way things actually are, everyday, I've found myself not only agreeing with you all on a lot of subjects but also finding it all very depressing.
Everyday sexism, trans debates and their actions, the constant struggle for lesbians and now for women just to be called women.
Women treated differently if in any place,a car, on transport on their own compared to how they are treated when with men in the same situations.
Even noticing that basic consideration to lone women living on their own is non existent. Where as if there was or appeared to be a man living there, either on their own or with that same woman, there are no issues. I have seen this with my own eyes time and time again, not just when I was on my own, but with other women who were or are living alone. Now I am seeing someone, the attitude towards me has changed again from outright hostile to not as much, although still very different to when I had a man living with me.
Most times it's nothing short of bullying, intimidation and threats in all situations.
The more I read, the more I see every single day.
I have been trying to find women only places in my area as mentioned in another thread but there are none. It's a large city for crying out loud!
The only woman only gym is extortionate £100+ a month and other gym offer only rooms with limited equipment or are only 1 hour sessions or just too far away.
I've tried mixed gyms but after several uncomfortable encounters in no less than 4 separate gyms I've given up.
I'm probably not making myself clear, or will be told I'm being paranoid (I know I'm not though) or ridiculous, but I thought if anyone knew what I'm trying to say it would be someone on here.
