How long till someone comes along and shits all over it?

The comments on the Twatter are kinda interesting ... I'm on my phone and don't know how to copy a link from twatter.

It's illuminating, isn't it? Nothing offends a straight man like the idea that a pool of women who he has no potential sexual access to exists. How dare women try to opt out of being available to them?

The tube thing, we used to have guards on our tube line till late 90s or something

They were always in the last of second last carriage so you knew where to find them and late at night people would choose that one. The people would be mainly teens of both sexes who were on their own, women in their own.

Lots of people are vulnerable and I would far rather see more staff around to help and a guard, for anyone who felt (was) vulnerable.

Some stations now, on mainline not sure about tube, no one there after dark. They are often badly lit and few people around, no passers by obviously.

This is the sort of thing where cuts or changes need impact assessments esp for women but also other groups. As they just stop using the service and don't make a fuss. Impacts ability to engage in normal life. And know full well if anything happens if they're female they will be blamed.

I remember guards on the northern line.

When women only train carriages was mooted, I remember it being a very unpopular idea on FWR.
I don't see this as much different, but it seems broadly popular!

Shame it's not actually for women. Great idea though. Lots of women travel solo or without a male partner. Depending on where you are it can be a bit scary if there are lots of drunk men wandering around or staying in certain tourist heavy locations.

It won't appeal to all, but if there's a market for it, then I can see businesses wanting to tap into it.

I’ve got no problem with it and I’m a man but was they might have been up being less safe for women than mixed sex ones if burly bearded blokes in skirts decide it to be to their liking. It seems like it could attract to them like moths to flame. All of these women there with no men about. Will probably only have female security and staff too who they’d be confident in being able to overpower

Yeah their clientele bandwidth will definitely require corrective widening from the TRAs.

Milani, a nice UK female only holiday place, you say? Could you say where or PM me if it isn’t public?

Even the reviews don't make sense.

This one - from "Visit Gay Spain" (so presumably it is addressed to lesbians?) - calls out to "female identifying" people. Then it, and the hotel, refers to female-only spaces Hmm
