Why can't we have our own spaces? : TwoXChromosomes

I recently went to a queer/sapphic event. I had to go out of town for it, there's so very few wlw events in my area, if any at all.

The amount of cishet men who showed up, had the event explained to them, and still paid cover to stand awkwardly in the corners or tried in vain to hit on attendees was baffling.

One guy just stood uncomfortably close to a couple who were dancing and kissing, and he just stared.

The people working the door did their best to explain that maybe this event isn't the best one for them but nope. They wanted to come invade a feminine and queer space even though they were none of these things.

I used to run these types of events and we were never able to explicitly say cishet men weren't welcome because they'd get us shut down for being exclusionary.

Why? Why do they do this. Well. I know why. But on what fricking planet is this acceptable?

Just let us have this one thing.


the OP is 38 AFAB, homoromantic and omnisexual

A person who is homoromantic is romantically attracted to people who are the same or a similar gender as them.

People who identify as omnisexual are attracted to those of all gender identities and sexual orientations.

Hot take - if herpes or HPV are life-alteringly terrifying for you, nonmonogamy probably isn't for you

It was always implicitly understood that social constructs had to be deconstructed with female empowerment as the only goal. This means that moids going into female spaces is technically counterrevolutionary but women can't say that openly because it would make them look like self serving hypocrites.

Most feminists are not feminists because they find the notions of discrimination wrong, but because they are the recipients of it. The moment others are the focus of bigotry they scarcely care.

This influences every facet of their behaviour

They certainly won't miss a chance to say feminism helps men and the patriarchy hurts them (in order to use it as a cudgel to discredit any legitimate grievances)

>Patriarchy hurts men as well, so if you have any problems in your life as a man the answer is just to give women more power and privilege!

Every minority is like this btw.

Nobody actually cares about "empowering the oppressed", they just want more power themselves.
