I think it’s ok for women to be allowed to ask men or at the gym purely based on the reason why it’s not ok for men to ask.

An estimated 91% of victims of rape & sexual assault are female and 9% male. Nearly 99% of perpetrators are male. (1) This US Dept. of Justice statistic does not report those who do not identify in these gender boxes.

Men commit the preponderance of sexual violence/harassment by a long shot.

It’s become the norm for men to leave women alone in less-than-social spaces because it provides a more welcoming environment. Which is a huge cultural improvement IMO. The other way around though is fine. I don’t think most men are expecting to be sexually harassed/abused by women in those same spaces.

Not saying it couldn’t happen, because it does, but it’s SOOOOO MUCH less likely.

Clippy coding! Newer coders won’t get the reference, older coders can hold it with the same scorn.

How’s the air up there?

Nations are made of people, that make local gov, that make state govs. We need to change the smallest part that makes up the rest of the machine before you can “fix” the 2 party system.

Everyone keeps taking about the DNC like it is some colossus. We can either change it to our liking or make our own, but either way it starts by changing the smallest parts first.

It’s pretty easy to find, but JK Rowling is a TERF. She actively contributes money to anti-Trans efforts and is unapologetic about any of it.
