I saw a sign with this slogan at a crafts store I was at earlier. You can imagine my reaction upon seeing it. How is this not blatant gender discrimination against men? Imagine how hurt boys would feel seeing a sign like this and actually seeing it used in clubs and gatherings where only girls are permitted. I can only imagine the uproar and outrage and controversy there'd be if there were a sign or slogan that said no girls allowed. As usual, no feminist backlash or protesting against slogans like this because of course, it fits with their obvious and blatant anti-male agenda. It reminds me of the T-shirt that said "Boys are stupid. Throws rock at them" and how there wasn't a peep from feminists over it, and yet just imagine how much of a firestorm of controversy there'd be if it said that about girls.
Sorry, but privilege, entitlement and supremacy are not my idea of equality. Which is exactly what slogans like this promote. Along with other similar ones I despise like the future is female, the future belongs to girls, etc. I view this as being no different whatsoever from sayings such as white power or Make America White Again. Same kind of bigotry and supremacy, just directed at a different group from a different group.

No, it isnt. Female/male space exclusivity is a phenomenon that dates back thousands of years. For example, it's only in modern times that co-education has become the rule rather than the exception. The military has historically been explicitly a male only space. Marriage has an institution invested in the women and men being kept separate until the vows are read. Women have historically undergone childbirth alone, with men excluded from being present at birth. Etc, etc, so on and so forth back to time immemorial. Even a momentary pause for a handful of seconds before you post this sort of trash-level commentary would have led you to the conclusion that what you were saying was utterly moronic.
Also, there's absolutely no evidence for what you're saying on a wide scale re: girls as you as 4 and boys as young as 8. In fact, the opposite is true; it's girls, not boys, who are experiencing severe mental health issues earlier in life and at an ever growing rate. Men tend to experience severe mental health problems way later in life, which is why a third to one half of all suicides are committed by middle-aged white men. That has fuck all to do with women being empowered by stupid slogans on t-shirts while men are marginalised, or whatever nonsense it is you're suggesting. At the age of 4 and 8, girls think boys are stupid and should have rocks thrown at them, and boy think girls are aliens who make friends by being punched; eventually most fall in love with one and other, and/or have mindless sex with those same girls/boys that they wanted to stone/punch before they hit puberty. Thus has it always been, and thus will it be forever more. You shouldn't let your failures with the opposite sex, or as a man in general, inform the way you understand the world, because... well... that's just another failing.
What can't be very healthy is living your life as some kind of misogynist prick who makes shit up in order to appear insightful and prove their worth (to other men, I assume).
