 🙏 disagree. 🙇🏻‍♀️

there’s a time & place for anything.  

sometimes da boys get together and do their boy things.

the girls ~also~ love to get together with just the girls and be girlie. 

i always wish to go to natalie’s brunches.  they seem cool & fun.  i don’t see that as “isolating ourselves.”  it’s just another thing.

…and yeah…in general spaces of sophistication, everyone *would* feel welcome…but there are exceedingly few general spaces where _most_ da boys (and some girls too, like esp the karens) are ultra enlightened & highly civilized.

women absolutely do benefit from having women-only spaces.  it would be great if there were no explicit “need” for them & just done out of a preference for a different kind of fun, but we totally do “need” them still in 2024.
