Sure, these two comic panels aren’t very nuanced, and everyone deserves a safe space. But imo that is irrelevant to this issue, because they should create their own safe space then, not insist on intruding in someone else’s safe space. Like, why even?

2·26 days agoMaybe it’s the same mechanism as the “Try not to think of an elephant” phenomenon.

That comparison in this context is honestly a bad look.
You’re comparing men, who have historically been the oppressors in pretty much every oppression scenario, to the groups of people they have historically oppressed. (POC, women, any marginalized group really.) That is a very important distinction because the power dynamics are reversed.
People wanting a single safe space away from a group of people who have victimized them in the past (and more often than not continue to victimize them) is not the same as a group of people who hold most of the power excluding a less powerful group from everyday activities because they deem them inferior.
And it’s not exactly a slippery slope towards the oppression of men either, just look at the current state of the world and try to figure out which way that slope is slipping. Women are fucking tired, man.
