“There is no screening process for the males who are allowed into women’s spaces. That silence is the policy.”
🌾 1. The Hidden Reality
Across gyms, shelters, restrooms, hospitals, and schools, males are allowed into women’s spaces without any screening, oversight, or risk assessment.
No background checks.
No trauma-informed procedures.
No boundaries women can depend on.
Women are told to trust — while systems refuse to verify.
People have lost their minds.
⚖️ 2. The Truth About Risk
Some have said, well why do you feel safe with other women? See, whenever a woman has wanted to ask me out or whether I was interested in swinging her way…it was an “ask” and nothing more. NO aggression. No insults. No threats. No following me.
Among women, there is not the same risk for violence.
But….Women have to be strategic about the way that we turn men down because we might not make it. And we never met this man before.
No one is doing ANYTHING ABOUT IT! But telling women and girls to “be kind” and “don’t stare.” Shut up and take it like a good girl.
Meanwhile:
Over 95% of sexual assaults and violent crimes are committed by males, according to global statistics.
Women make up a small fraction of offenders in these categories.
There has never been evidence showing that women entering women’s spaces increase danger for others.
So when we remove screening and oversight for males, we are not balancing equality — we are increasing risk.
💬 3. Women’s Spaces Were Built for Safety
Women’s spaces were never about exclusion.
They were created as Boundaried Spaces — places for recovery, rest, and privacy after centuries of violence and control.
Shelters, locker rooms, and hospital wards are meant to protect women’s physical safety and their emotional recovery.
When males are allowed in without screening or consent- just their word-those boundaries vanish.
Women lose the ability to protect themselves from the very danger these spaces were built to prevent.
🌿 4. Why Women Do Not Pose the Same Risk
1️⃣ Different Socialization:
From childhood, women are taught to fear harm, prevent harm, and avoid danger.
Their training revolves around caution — not domination.
2️⃣ Different Power Dynamics:
Most male violence arises from social power and physical strength advantages.
Women, even when angry or hurt, rarely have the physical or social power to pose equal risk.
3️⃣ Different Intent and History:
Women have not used women’s spaces to invade privacy, exploit vulnerability, or commit sexual crimes.
Males have — repeatedly and across settings.
🚫 5. The Missing Protections
- No background or identity verification
- No safety risk assessment
- No trauma-informed policy enforcement
- No protection for female patients, residents, or students with histories of sexual violence
- No accountability when women report discomfort or fear
This isn’t progress — it’s policy negligence.
🔥 6. The Cost of Ignoring Women’s Warnings
When women say they feel unsafe, the response should not be silence or ridicule.
Every dismissal teaches future generations that women’s fear is “overreaction” instead of lived intelligence.
But history shows us:
Women’s intuition saves lives.
🌻 7. What We Can Do
- Name the gap. Safety cannot grow in silence.
- Rebuild trauma-informed policies.
- Train staff to recognize red flags and respect female boundaries.
- Protect Spaces and boundaries for women and girls as being essential for living, healing, growing, and survival— not to isolate, but to preserve peace.
- Listen to Survivors. They are the world’s early warning system.
Our safety should never depend on who walks through the door.
Demonstrate integrity and care for other human beings.
Respect every woman. Respect every girl. Respect every boundary. Each and every time.
