Bullied Into Silence: Women Have Every Right to Male-Free Facilities

Women are in real danger of being silenced and harmed by the madness now enveloping us.

Don’t believe the politicians and social justice warriors. It seems bullying is only bad if it’s done by the wrong people toward the wrong people.

Women are in real danger of being silenced and harmed, not by the “patriarchy” or by old-school sexism and discrimination, but by the madness now enveloping us. Fear of the bullies has left many women unwilling to call the madness what it is. 

Women — and our young daughters — are the first mandatory sacrificial offering to the greedy god of “gender identity” and “transgenderism.”

Telling Daughters to Shut Up About Their Discomfort

Female-only public spaces are vanishing as this madness takes over every aspect of our lives. Common sense and decency both demand that women have showering, dressing, and bathroom facilities that are private and separate from men. But that obvious decency is too much to ask any longer. Women are now expected to shut up and endure the violation when a man walks into the restroom, locker room, or dressing room. Even young girls are told they cannot object to seeing the naked male form or they will be branded as intolerant bigots.

The pressure to accept without the slightest complaint this new code that deprives women of privacy and safety, to conform or else, is intimidating and difficult to resist. One self-described progressive mother bravely recounts her experience at Disneyland when she saw a man walk into a crowded women’s restroom:

I was off to the side waiting with the two boys, when I noticed a man walk into the restroom. … But he didn’t call out any names or look around. He just stood off to the side and leaned up against the wall. … Ok there is definitely a very manly hispanic man in a Lakers jersey who just walked in here. Am I the only one seeing this?” I surveyed the room and saw roughly 12 women, children in tow … staring at him with the exact same look on their faces. Everyone was visibly uncomfortable. We were all trading looks and motioning our eyes over to him … like “what is he doing in here?” Yet every single one of us was silent.

Why did all the women remain silent? 

We had been culturally bullied into silenced. (sic) Every woman who exited a stall and immediately zeroed right in on him … said nothing. And why? B/c I … and I’m sure all the others were scared of that “what if.” What if I say something and he says he “identifies as a woman” and then I come off as the intolerant a*****e at the happiest place on earth? So we all stood there, shifting in our uncomfortableness … trading looks. I saw two women leave the line with their children. Still nothing was said. An older lady said to me outloud, “What is he doing in here?” I’m ashamed to admit I silently shrugged and mouthed, “I don’t know.” She immediately walked out … from a bathroom she had every right to use without fear.

Culturally bullied into silence. Just shut up, and tell your daughters to shut up as well. Any man who says he’s a woman has the right to be where you undress, shower, use the toilet, and even sleep, and if you don’t like it, it’s your problem, and we’ll make sure you’re punished for it. The bullying is so effective that the man doesn’t even have to say he’s a woman, or even vaguely resemble a woman, and still no one will question him.

Women and Girls Deserve Privacy

A woman is now forced to either confront a strange man in a space where he doesn’t belong, or forfeit her own right to be where she does belong out of fear and appropriate discomfort. The burden, the risk, the sacrifice is entirely the woman’s. That’s what the madness of “gender identity” and “transgenderism” demands.

All of it based on nothing but feelings. Not on objective reason, biology, or any actual science, but on subjective feelings with no definable standards whatsoever. The mom at Disneyland went on: 

But this notion that we’re shamed into silence b/c we might offend someone, has gone too far. There was a man in the bathroom. Not transgender. There was a man who felt entitled to be in the woman (sic) restroom, because he knew no one would say anything. There were 20-25 people by the time I left, who were scared and uncomfortable by his ominous presence. And the only thing stopping us, was our fear of political correctness and that the media has told us we don’t know what gender is anymore. I never want to be in the position again. … I need to know it’s ok to tell a man, who looks like a man, to get the f*** out. Gender just can’t be a feeling. There has to be science to it … it can’t just be a feeling when there’s but a mere suggestion of a door with a peep hole separating your eyes from my vagina or my children’s genitals.

That’s the bottom line. There is no justification for allowing a man to occupy intimate space with a woman who is not his wife, or to get within inches of someone else’s child in such a setting.

Women should not be fighting this battle alone. Gentlemen out there, you need to summon some valor and act to confront this insanity.

Women should not be fighting this battle alone. Gentlemen out there, you need to summon some valor and act to confront this insanity. If you’re the parent of girls, for their sake you cannot let public wrath and shaming stop you from being the voice of reason and decency right now.

Men have absolutely no business and no right to be in the ladies’ rooms. Male anatomy belongs in the men’s room, period. It is madness to eliminate the distinction between male and female and to deny women and girls the privacy and safety they deserve.
