LesFest = anti-maleness

I am yet to meet a woman (lesbian, bisexual, trans, or str8) that supports the separatist policies of Lesfest.

Women only spaces are important, just as safe spaces are also required for young people, transgender folk and a whole host of other groups. Even us guys need our own space sometime. I don't think anyone would dispute the need for organisations to provide such a service from time to time and many groups manage to do it regularly without having anti-male policies.

But the silent minority that support Lesfest go too far. They are separatists to the extreme by segregating, ostracising and discriminating against anyone associated with, or having a history of, maleness.

Lesfest frown on bisexual women, make life difficult for women with male children, despise transgender and transsexual folk, and at the end of the day appear no different to any other extremist group that has sought to create a "superior" community.

It has elements of apartheid and Nazism bundled together with a big dose of misandry. It simply turns my stomach.
