In the 90s and early 2000s the internet was largely a platform where white men communicated in chatrooms and forums. Of course, women also used the internet, but the general audience was male, the jokes were written for men and you just assumed you were talking to a man. Even in the late 2010s a lot of the instagram comment sections were still predominantly occupied by men, making jokes.

Now, this is not against women (in this society you always have to clarify), but there is something I miss about this "male space" that was the internet.

It made me think about female inclusion – inclusion or invasion? Before you judge me, please read what I have to say. There are other examples of this: Women became referees and commentators in male sports games. In the past, there were more martial arts schools where only men trained. There are probably hundreds of other examples.

Don't you miss the feeling of being somewhere where just men talk with each other (not necessarily all-inclusive, politically correct language, but also not necessarily only vulgar and offensive tone)? More than that, don't you need it? Don't you need the rivalry, the jokes the appreciation, the feeling of being irreplaceable?

Luckily, we still have the possibility to do this, but the amount of spaces is becoming less and less.
