“There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women." ― Madeleine Albright Since we are doing throw back comparisons these days,
“There is a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.”
― Madeleine Albright
In modern debates about sex-based spaces, when people push for women to share spaces with males (regardless of how those males identify), they often bring up ideas like “equality,” “inclusion,” “Jim Crow” or “separate but equal.”
But in reality, women are being treated like Black people were under the old “separate but equal” doctrine—marginalized, silenced, and made to give up safety and dignity in the name of someone else’s comfort or access.
I dislike and resent when women press fellow over-burdened, lower-compensated, oppressed, women who share the same vulnerability to male violence to give up rights, opportunities, and safety.
While they leave most of the males in place & in peace.
❗”Separate but equal” has been flipped on its head—but the power imbalance remains the same.
“Separate but equal” was a legal doctrine used in the United States to justify racial segregation, particularly between Black and white Americans.
⚖️ What It Meant
The doctrine claimed that racial segregation was constitutional as long as the separate facilities for Black and white people were “equal” in quality.
In reality, the facilities and services for Black Americans—such as schools, public transportation, housing, and restrooms—were vastly inferior in funding, condition, and opportunity.
🔍 The False Equivalence
When people say,
“We can all share the same space. It’s equal now,”
They ignore that equality in name does not mean equality in reality.
Women’s safety needs, privacy boundaries, and bodily autonomy are being treated as negotiable.
Meanwhile, any objection—no matter how compassionate or trauma-informed—is labeled “hateful,” “exclusionary,” or “phobic.”
This mirrors how Black Americans were told:
“You have your own schools, your own bathrooms. What more do you want?”
While they endured systemic neglect, abuse, and erasure.❌ The Reality (which continues)
Black schools received fewer resources, outdated books, and unsafe buildings.
Public services for Black communities were neglected or denied entirely.
It reinforced systemic racism, economic inequality, and social exclusion.
⚖️ Who’s Actually Being Moved Aside?
Truth:
It is women being told to give up long-fought-for protections.
It is women who are punished, fired, or silenced for speaking up.
It is women and girls who are expected to tolerate exposure, discomfort, or fear—for the sake of someone else’s self-expression.
That’s not equality. That’s displacement.
Woman: “I’m a woman & this erasure or surrender of women’s rights, independence & autonomy doesn’t bother me.”
Same woman: Would never ask a male to do the same because
*As a woman we fear the potential male violence
*Have been conditioned to cater to male feelings.
*Have been conditioned to center male feelings.
*Know good & well they won’t anyway.
True equality, unity, and inclusion would mean calling males:
“prostate havers”,
“penis owners”, &
“people with scrotums”
Just like they insist on referring to us.
I’m just baffled why the ONLY way to get to this wonderful space seems to be calling women
“womb havers”
“birthing bodies”
“vagina owners” etc………???
Men can’t even ‘go along to get along’ in solidarity?
“penis owners”,
“people with scrotums”
