Do we need separate community for women on Grapevine?
Was speaking to two of my friends (from GV) on this topic. One was supporting, and one against.
As a fellow female on Grapevine, I think it is not necessary. If only we stop treating women as second gender, and just see them as basic humans, a lot of things will change.
To let people have a safe space to voice opinions, does not need a secluded room.
So many of us are unaware of problems (physical, mental, emotional) others face, this platform does a great job in bringing all at one place.
Anyone asking for anything separate for women, are just widening the already existing huge gap between genders
I disagree. Every community and group of people need a space for themselves. Most men here will never understand the life of a woman and her problems, and that's not exactly their fault either. Same goes for women trying to understand men.
Men have their own groups for locker room type conversations. Women mostly don't, but they probably would benefit from having their own space.
My idea was if we could have a singular platform where both (try) understand each other. Both genders have much to learn and catch up on. No point putting kids to All girls/ All boys school when you want them to end in heterosexual marriages. Same idea :)
It's not an either/or scenario, both can coexist together just like the schools even today
