    Then why did you bring it up? It’s nowhere near the same thing. Racism is a mental illness, feeling safer with another woman because you’ve been abused by all of the men in your family and friends is anything but and if you think that they are the same, you might be a schovanist and mysoginist and part of the problem.

      I’m sure some have legitimate trauma behind their discrimination but I don’t really see how it is different if it is towards their sex or their race in this instance. What is the concrete difference here?

      Sexism could also be considered a mental illness in the same vein?

      Personally I want all of my drivers to be under 6’2" because everyone who has ever dunked on me at basketball has been around that height or taller. /Sarcasm

        Are you also part of the problem? Preferring a female driver because you have been abused by men is not sexism. If you truly believe it’s the same thing, then congratulations, you are part of the reason why women need a safe space.

          I guess that does make sense as long as you allow men to also choose female only drivers in the same vein. Similar to how hooters is allowed to have a female only waitstaff. I concede it is a valuable space for a peace of mind if you want that option. It is projecting though to want to segregate from entirely a whole class of society, but if that works best for the person I’m supportive.

            Damn, son. Do a better job pretending not to be part of the problem.

            You’re either a troll (a bad one) or some new combination of incel and men’s rights and I’m not going to waste my time even copying/pasting what I’ve already written in other comments.

            You have a wonderful life now. And feel proud that you are part of the problem. I’m sure your mother, aunts, grandma’s, etc would be extremely proud of you.

              And keep gatekeeping allyism without ever fully explaining the point behind your criticisms. Take care
