Jesus, no, man. The right metric is how likely a woman is to be a victim. Or, more to the point, whether women have a perfectly valid point when they say that when they're naked, for example, they'd rather be in an enironment where there are no other males around. Whether women have a right to set boundaries around an issue that affects them in 90% of cases.
How on Earth are you managing to find a way to make this about you?
1 in 6 women have been the victim of an actual or attempted rape. I'd bet almost all have been the victim of unwanted sexual contact. Any argument against female only spaces increases the likelihood of both of these things happening.
And for what, exactly? What are you weighing this against? Men's "right" to make them uncomfortable by being around them as they undress? Those black crime statistics you mention aren't universal measures of black people. They're a reflection of what happens when poor, disenfranchised people, of any ethnicity, live in a particular area. But of course, more black people are poor and disenfranchised.
And guess what, many cities are de-facto segregated by race. Or, if you prefer, poverty. You absolutely couldn't make wealthy people live alongside poor people for exactly the fears about crime that you mention. And if the issue affected you, I'm sure you'd feel the same way. I suspect you'd kick up a fuss if somebody tried to make you live on skid row because, well, "how many of the crack addicts there are actulally going to rob you? What are the odds that you'll step on a needle really?"
Men are the most dangerous type of human. This is just a fact. It doesn't mean we all are. It means that we are in that demographic. Again, if there was a way to tell which ones of us are just evil by nature in some reliable way, you can bet we'd ssegregate ourselves from them (to a degree, this is what a prison is).
But we can't.
We can, however differentate between men and women and children. So we implement common sense safeguarding measures, only on a few occasions, to protect those two more vulnerable classses of human from the most dangerous ones. I think this is an indisputably good things to do. I have no objection whatsoever. And frankly, andy man who does objectis immediately suspect to me.
Men should go in men's spaces. We aren't being excluded. There is no facility that women have that men don't. They're even more convenient than women's spaces in many cases. And you know exactly what women's spaces are. Changing rooms, rape crisis centers, women's shelters, women's prisons. It's not a long list or a controversial one. What exactly are you arguing for here?
