Grandad I do think you are very hung up on "misandry" which as per our previous exchange, I agree undoubtedly exists, but quite honestly, compared to what women have had to, and still do put up with, pales into insignificance.
As for women wanting exclusive female spaces, I don't know whether you are encompassing physical space in your assertion up thread, but denying women exclusive and often essential areas is really throwing them under the bus imo and the potential dangers that come with opening up what should be safe "women only spaces" is and will cause problems and distress to the majority of the female sex, to appease a minuscule minority. Quite honestly there have been clubs, societies and organisations that have banned and pro actively excluded women membership for centuries. In fact the dominance of the patriarchy still runs through many societies and religions in the world where women are destined to remain the disadvantage ones. Girls and women are still more likely to be trafficked, sold, sexually abused than their male counterparts. Femicide is still a real threat in macho societies. Extremes, I will admit, nevertheless we have had some horrible examples of what women and girls have been put through on home grown soil. Is it a wonder therefore that there is a subliminal feminine solidarity at times, which maybe you feel excludes men, I don't really see it that way myself. Whilst I accept you stumbled upon Gransnet believing it to be a forum for grandparents of both sexes, although the name is possibly a giveaway as to the demographic of users, it is inevitable therefore that this site is more female orientated. Although simultaneously it certainly doesn't exclude men, but it's inevitable in some contexts male members might feel it isn't inclusive of them. Unlike the many societies and organisations that have excluded women. I honestly think you overstate the perceived grievance of men being marginalised.
Jane 10 some very good points in your post.
