Just to reinforce: male-only spaces are patriarchy, and there is no end to it or equality unless we end a specific sex-only space.

If some friends hanging out together just wanna have a boys night because that's what they want to do - because they like that energy for whatever reason... if that's patriarchy... Then I'm okay with patriarchy.

there is no end to it or equality unless we end a specific sex-only space.

Like women-only gyms? DV shelters only for women? Shelters for homeless parents that service only mothers with children?

If that is what is needed to reach true equality, then I’m all for it.

However, I think tearing down useful gender-specific spaces is far more damaging than simply providing such spaces equally to both genders.
