Anecdotal evidence but on my limited sample of male and female friends and acquaintances whose homes I visited, it doesn’t matter. People range from obsessively clean to very messy, but I didn’t notice a correlation.

Milei understands money. He might fail to understand many other things, he might cause more harm than good in other ways, but he understands money. If you want to stop inflation, Milei is your man.

But read, learn, understand what?

Why they feel the need to be separate. What exactly are they afraid of. You’re focusing too much on being “technically correct”. Human emotions don’t work like that.

Humans work generally like this:

• we have a bad experience
• we try to avoid bad experience repeating

Sometimes it leads into coping mechanisms like needing a safe space. Trying to break down that barrier by force will not work, it will only make it stronger. You can hope to be invited in, but that requires understanding.

I feel like a Cassandra since I was warning about this for years now.

The gender equality narrative got too focused on excluding men specifically, instead of including the less represented gender in each profession. Somehow the idea was that men are privileged in the system and women oppressed, while the truth is that both men and women are oppressed.

Divide and conquer was a small step away from that point.

Let me try to phrase my opinion:

It’s unfortunate that gender-exclusive communities exist, but it’s a consequence of deeper societal issues.

Forcing the issue on social networks like Lemmy will actually make it worse, because those groups will feel in danger and want to separate even further.

Being able to access the community in read-only mode is a very good thing, because you’ll be able to gain insight into why they feel the need for a separate space. Read, learn and understand, even if you disagree.

The legitimacy of exclusive spaces aside, how did they know you were not a woman?

My apartment. I don’t like it very much but it was built in 1928. So “enjoy” is a stretch but I use it daily.
