Sorry but no, at first I didn't wish to reply here, but this comment made me think otherwise. I'm against safespaces in whatever shape or form. Why? Because the world should be safe for you without you having to hide somewhere. Rapists, Racists and other filth should be in jail and not kept from one space only to roam everywhere else. That it doesn't happen, means we have to fight more until it DOES happen.
A safe space is nothing more than going back to segregation because you are too scared to face them head on. And that is not how we can win this battle. Many great figures of our past fought segregation, like separate pools for women and men. Homosexuals being forces to go into the women's locker room while transgenders being forced into the men's, separate bus seats for men and women, separate drinking fountains depending on the colour of your epidermis or even separate parks.
It took us AGES to tear down only a FEW of these straight white male safe spaces, and we are far from done! Let us not put up new ones and be counter productive. Let's tear down more! The reason that a rapist can go unpunished means that it is a safespace for him, and frankly that is unacceptable.
