“all women want is safety from men!!!”“men activists groups arent expected to include women, so why are women expected to include men??“thats delving into the “teach men not to rape” kinda garbage. like yes, historically men have had more power than women, but the issue is that sex segregated spaces have always existed. women were not allowed to be in politics. they were confined to the home and could only be with other women not always by law but almost always by social standards. its still present today in some countries (like the code of purdah practiced in rural parts of india, which literally imprisons women in their houses)

by saying you want to have sex segregated spaces, you’re implying that women have never had them, which is bullshit. women across societies both modern and ancient have had them because it was forced upon them, and women (outside of the bubble of these majority white, middle to upperclass women put themselves in) in the global south , primarily south asia, north africa, and the middle east, live with sex segregation against their will. so really when a terf says they speak for all women, they exclude not only trans women but impoverished and/or disadvantaged women across the globe.
