The simple fact that the author posted anonymously demonstrates two things: 1. Whomever wrote it isn't proud enough to put a name to it. 2. It's a problem enough to warrant anonymity.
- omonra 14y agoI see another simple fact - the author does not feel comfortable posting his views under his name because he fears retaliation. And that's a problem.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoAnd why shouldn't he fear retaliation? The suggestion that women having safe-space events is sexist is outrageous.
- omonra 14y agoI don't know if you are serious or are being sarcastic. Assuming the former (rather sad state of affairs), this short interview with Steven Pinker should explain why a society where people fear retaliation for voicing 'outrageous' views is fucked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0W9sSqeJnA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0W9sSqeJnA
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoActually, nevermind. Sure, they shouldn't fear retaliation, I'm not quite sure what I was going for.
- omonra 14y agoCool :)
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y ago1. They're a coward about this. There are good reasons for having women-only events - because in "normal" events there is a massive gender imbalance that can make them feel uncomfortable. Men are not faced with this situation, so they do not need men-only events. 2. It's not.
