Kat’s right. Places that once were explicitly designed to help people meet for romantic purposes got converted by feminists into, “NO ONE SHOULD TALK TO ANY WOMAN HERE IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL” spaces over the course of a couple of decades
I’m old enough to remember when many places and activities had either the implicit or often explicit (as in, it was in the actual marketing material) expectation that they were friendly to and often designed for both sexes to meet one another. However, PMC liberal women became so obsessed with keeping undesirable men away from them that these much-needed spaces were turned into yet another bomb-scarred gender battleground.
This extreme obsession is one that puzzles me, but I guess it was really important to them for some reason I fail to understand to this day.
