    Ever been to an event where the line for the women’s restroom is so long they start using the men’s?

    Men care much less about who use their designated areas. Those types of arguments usually fall under obvious sexism e.g. women must go to the [with]drawing room after dinner.

    TERFs certainly exist but you don’t hear much about TERMs.

      I also met women who explained this to be because of fear for their safety, that they don’t want to be around men in the toilet (or anywhere in private).

      I find that maybe an overreaction, but I’m not a woman to be sure

      Whenever there’s a big line, I’ll remind the people in line of this. We don’t care. Internalized sexism keeps them stuck in line
