@BadhbhCatha If we are safe from men it doesn't mean we are safe. Never has, never will, because women rape other women.
Women-only spaces aren't "safe" spaces. It's an insult to victims like me to pretend they are. http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2015/12/22/women_only_spaces_aren_t_necessarily_safe_spaces.html?wpsrc=sh_all_dt_tw_bot …

@BadhbhCatha The statistical reality is that, as a lesbian, you have about a 25-30% chance of being raped by a female partner. -
@BadhbhCatha The same chance as a heterosexual has of being raped by a male one.

@BadhbhCatha Yes, because the reason for such space is that it would in some way be safe. -
