The original safe spaces were whites-only, men-only clubs,“Gentlemen’s Clubs.”
They were even politically categorized because the members of these clubs were so fragile that even when hanging out exclusively with other wealthy white men they couldn’t bear the thought of any sort of uncomfortable discussion or less-than-genteel disagreement.
What a bunch of absolute snowflakes.
Anyhow, these clubs still exist in their basic, original form as do the offshoots like country clubs, athletic clubs, beach clubs.
Weird how triggered the originators of the safe-space idea get when other groups want to also have safe spaces.
