Unfortunately, I don't know how to explain that in an effective way when people make annoying jokes about women going to the bathroom together.

Women's spaces existing only under suffrance and constantly being under threat (even if 'only' the more subtle or indirect threat of harrassment). The modern version of harrassment is I guess the arguments about reverse sexism & so on. That does indeed resonate – and feels very much like a control tactic.

I was left with the distinct feeling that most of the people there were not, in fact, women.
