Different anon than anyone else.

I hate this argument. Equality for all means all. Doesn't matter WHICH group is doing it. Minority, majority or a single person. Everyone should be Called Out. You don't automatically get a pAss for bad behavior just because you are minority. That does nothing but confound the problem.

With the difference that when men create "safe spaces" it's treehouses they need to make rape jokes and talk sexist trash about women without getting called out on it. When women create "safe spaces" it's because they want to avoid the harassment they usually face through men.

Treating both cases equally is impossible because their motivations are completely different.
It's like calling a black person out on shouting "black power" just because white people get called out when shouting "white power".
This kind of "equality" belongs into MRA territory.

But of course I agree on everything that was said in this thread about women randomly declaring an ENTIRE FANDOM to be their "safe space". That's plain unfair and also kind of childish.

See, that's not what I see it. Calling out "black power" and "white power" doesn't hurt anyone. In theory, at least. It does have the ABILITY to hurt someone, sure, depending on context. Everything does.

Telling a woman she should be raped, or a man that he can't take part in a fanfiction forum, are both transgressions against people enjoying themselves. Sure, the magnitude of "you should be raped" is a hell of a lot greater than "you can't be here. Go away. This is OUR sandbox". Not denying that. However, both things hurt someone. One by threatening safety, the worse of the two, and one by saying someone doesn't have the right to have fun even if they're not actually misbehaving (well, actually BOTH circumstances are doing that). What the people who defend this behavior from women are basically saying is "Well, men treat you like crap. Therefore it's ok for you to treat COMPLETELY DIFFERENT men like crap back"

Fandom is not real world, but if the magnitudes were the same I would see it as basically saying to women that because men pay them worse and harass them at work, it would be ok for them to hold up a convenience store owned by a man they've never met.
