I added a link to my earlier post, but it looks like I may have added it after you started your reply. So I'll provide it again.

Assuming business is geared toward men in 2019 as you say, isn't it counter-intuitive to open a co-working space that's geared only toward women? If there is a problem, that definitely doesn't fix it.

No, it's not counter intuitive to receive networking opportunities for women, by women, empowering women. It doesn't mean that they're only doing business with women. They aren't restricted to the walls of the co-working space. It simply is a space geared toward women that helps them with gaining the tools to better prepare them to go compete in a business world that is heavily geared to men.

This is where the radical Left identity politics folks converge with the radical Right identitarians. You both want the same thing, just for different reasons.

We might want the same thing, but have different ideas of how to achieve it.

And different perspectives on the challenges that exist in achieving it.
