Agree totally. Women are not bigots for wanting spaces away from men, especially when we are or may be more vulnerable to attack. Until men gives us a couple of decades free of rape, perving, groping, etc. I don’t see why we need to care more about the feelings of a tiny number of men who want to use women’s…

Even if the risk of a male being raped by another male was equal to the risk of a female being raped by a male - so what? How does that change the fact that women are being put in greater danger if men get to enter women’s spaces unquestioned?

Tell us how to recognize the rapist, then? Oh that’s right, you can’t, until he rapes someone. Males are dangerous and it’s not women’s job to protect one kind of male against another.

Except for the part where in one scenario, we might be able to question the man’s presence there and stop him before he does anything, and in the other scenario, we have to literally wait for him to rape someone before we can kick him out. Do you not see the difference?

“Jezebel, you are why people need feminism.” Agreed.

Yeah, right. Who are you gonna believe: a gang-banger who’d already been tried for a previous case of arson and murder, or all the people who testified that he and his partner had bragged about torturing and murdering a little kid? And who then grinned all the way through the trial?

From the NY Times, August 30, 1993:

Articles like this remind me why I don’t take liberal feminism seriously anymore.

How ass-backwards do you have to be as a feminists to promote a child rapist and murderer on your site Jezebel?
