So much talk about women's spaces, but can we talk about how men can't have spaces?

'We put the pressure on to join Men in Sheds'

It started out as a gathering to reduce loneliness and combat social isolation among elderly men.

Now there are more than 1,000 Men in Sheds projects running across the country, where members get together, talk and learn new skills.

But while many are aimed exclusively at men, one group in Loughborough, Leicestershire, has taken the decision to admit women and members' wives.

Member Brenda Needham said: "I kept asking my husband all the while 'why can't we join?'"

The 74-year-old added: "Eventually they let us in, just one morning, eventually it became all the time, and now it's 50% women, and we absolutely love it."

Aren't men allowed anything? If men are to permit women to their women-only spaces why can't we have ours too?

Men: *suffering loneliness and isolation and needing more bro time*
Feminists: Why can't men just make their own spaces?
Men: *creates a men-only space*
Feminists: Why can't women join in? It's so sexist not allowing women to join!
Men: *Allows women in no longer making it a space for men.*
[repeat]

Also: Your rules and behaviors mean I, a woman, don't feel safe. Therefore, although I have already entitled myself to be here, I have also entitled myself to set the code of conduct."
 
So let me get this straight, you're mad because one out of 1000 of these Men in Sheds things decided, of their own free will, to allow women to join them? Imagine if you spent that energy doing something productive.
Should make them change the name tbf. People in Sheds. Might clear up some confusion

Yeah rename it to Sheds. Similar to how Boy Scouts became Scouts.

I wonder how much of it was "of their own free will" and how much was endless nagging and pressure from their wives (as the article implies) who wouldn't take no for an answer?

Seems to be targeted at older men, yeah? It can be hard to get old men out by themselves if they've been married most of their life. Their wives pretty much become their closest friends, so it probably wasn't browbeating like that

Well, doesn't sound that way according to the article you posted:
Andrew McNerney, 70, admitted there was initially some resistance to becoming a mixed group.

He said: "There was apprehension, but in all honesty, it's turned out well.

"We [the men] escape now and again [to the quiet room] and have a chat and weigh things up."

But he added: "It's a lovely atmosphere, and it's been good."
Seems like the old men decided it wasn't so bad after discussing it and it sounds like they do still have their own space to talk and chill without the women.

OP, as a mentally sane person, it is your personal duty and responsability to kick mentally unstable faggots out of your own friend groups.
Whether they are a man or a woman, just give them a quick vibe check, if they start whining and moralfagging, they are out.

I had a perfect space here just for you until you started whining like a woman and now you have to sit in the parking lot. Good job, twat.
