They even attack one man's masculinity:

Shere Dore Evan... dude... why do u like to fight me so much? Im not the only one who spoke up you fucking bully! You ALWAYS have some shit to say to ME when I speak up but never have balls to address the others. Go ahead & attend. I promise you that you wont like what I have to say!

"Safe space" - a term used by women to keep men out.

"Boy's club" - a term used by women to get into men's safe spaces.

What the hell is this supposed to be for? Can't they just focus on one topic without self-segregating?

OH = Occupy Houston

"men with perspectives on gender issues are welcome too!"

Just so no one is thrown off by the thread, this is a comment underneath it:

if others would like to chime in now on whether men should be allowed, feel free. I have never lead a womens meeting. Those with more experience are more than welcome to assist with info, like the link I received: http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Safe_space Safe space geekfeminism.wikia.com Safe space is a term for an area or forum where either a marginalised group are not supposed to face

Followed by

Occupy Houston UPDATE: we are asking that women only attend this meeting, though there will be upcoming educational meetings relating to women's issues as well as gender/sexual-identity issues which men will be welcome to attend, for this meeting we will be focusing on an hour of survey discussion about gender issues at the occupation and want to make sure women feel comfortable sharing their perspectives.

just when you think they couldn't be any more elitist......

-men with perspectives on gender issues are welcome too!

So... umm... ? Not seeing any exclusion

But yea, calling it a "women's group" is a bit fucked.

It's shit like this that keeps the 1% sleeping comfortably at night. Good work, feminists! Hint: if you need a safe place, go to Curves. Or the women-only section of a gym I used to go to (that both genders paid the same price for).

if a woman is telling me about her experience of oppression, then she is stating a fact and is the only person who can know if that is true.

you have no idea. i mean literally no idea. how hard it is for me to not going into full on troll mode and have that girl in tears within the hour.

A house devided, this group is so divided they couldn't agree on what to have for lunch.

So women get the vote 10 years after men....then we have feminism and feminist women trained in academic feminism devise a democratic system that only removes the votes of white males.

This is the kind of tyranny that makes us compare feminists to Nazi's.

We fought a revolution over representation.

Really, as long as they allow men to conduct their own gender issue panel, I see no issue.
