There are plenty of communities that allow all persons to talk candidly online. However, these communities of all persons tend to be dominated by the majority voice while other voices get drowned out. These majorities don't usually consist of women and other groups.
- thereisnospork 8y agoI find my belief that women are equal in talent and ability contradicts the notion that such segregated 'safe spaces' are anything but sexist; how do we reconcile the opinion that women are equal with the opinion that women need segregated spaces (professional-related)?
- burkaman 8y agoYou can probably reconcile by talking in person with women who use these spaces.
- thereisnospork 8y agoIs this not the most (or at least a) reasonable place to discuss? It would seem rude to walk into a club and ask 'why should you exist'.
- jonnybgood 8y ago"Segregated" is an odd word choice. A historically disenfranchised group that now has the power to create avenues for themselves is what I would call equality. It is not a segregated space, but an act of empowerment.
