There shouldn't be such thing as gender x only spaces. Or race, or sexuality. The women aren't wrong about their points, but that doesn't make it an acceptable or thankfully, legal thing to do. I'm sure the guy who sued them did it for all the wrong reasons though. Both sides seem a bit slimy.

I'm all for segregation spaces as long as essential spaces are open to all such as hospitals, parks etc. There are women only gyms where I am and I used to go to them because I felt safer and more comfortable.

From now on, men have decided to declare every build and every bridge, build by men, to be men only. Build your own stuff please. /s

Infrastructure is, and should be, government run so that wouldn't work with the model I'm proposing.
