@sun@shitposter.world @taylan@fedi.feministwiki.org yes, and I mean it's kinda intentional?
I don't see any value in women-only spaces, just like I don't see any value in men-only spaces or trans-only spaces
If you only/mostly socialize with people that have a certain label, you're building stereotypes and disdain in your mind for people who don't have that label. E.g. see support for migration control vs. number of migrants in Germany - the more people can interact with others, the less hatred there is for them
I'm quite sure that I could show that any argument for women-only spaces can be shown to be parallel to an argument for a racially segregated space

It's incredible that otherwise smart people can believe something as utterly insane as what you've just said. It's close to being a flat earther.
So you're advocating for the complete abolition of:
* Female-only sports
* Female-only restrooms
* Female-only locker rooms
* Female-only political groups
This is a return to medieval sexism.
Women won't be able partake in sports at all with the exception of a few tiny niches.
Many women will avoid traveling because they'll be scared about what might happen if they need to use the toilet. (See: "urinary leash." Historically known phenomenon before wide availability of female-only restrooms.)
Women generally won't be able to attend swimming pools, gyms, etc. unless they find some safe opportunity to change their clothes, because otherwise they'll need to get naked in front of male strangers.
Women won't be able to challenge any of this because any time they try to organise, men will barge in and say they're plotting evil schemes to exclude men.
This is morally and intellectually on the same level as being a far-right extremist lunatic like Nick Fuentes. Do you not see how utterly insane it is?
By the way, I don't decide who is and isn't a woman. Physical reality does.
I'm not excluding people with penises from whatever word we use to describe people with vulvas. It's a physical reality that these two different types of anatomy exist.
It's also a physical reality that members of the former group have very significant advantage in athletic performance, such that separation in sports becomes necessary if you want people in the latter group to be included in sports.
And it's a social reality that the former group endanger and bother the latter group to such an extent that separation becomes necessary.
You're drunk on insane theories whose application would lead to a complete exclusion of women from public life.
Get out of this extremist echo chamber man.
You're turning left/liberal politics into a

@robinsyl That's pretty much the only reason how I managed to learn $NATIVE_LANGUAGE and English in the first place; can't survive and can't get a job without the two!
But yeah other than having to do it to be able to communicate it's quite hard to find the drive :haha:
(Also why I have mad respect for people who can do it without strong external circumstances)
Some people say that I "just" have to consume a lot of media and use the language whenever the opportunity presents itself but I'm already struggling to do those things even in languages that I do know~ *glances at the pile of books that I intend to read... maybe someday*

@koakuma I think the most important thing for me is I had to have a clear goal. I spent a lot of time on Dutch because I wanted to move to the Netherlands (and I did), so that was a concrete goal with also negative consequences for failure. I found it hard to learn Irish because I have no reason to learn it other than it's fun.

@koakuma this is the kind of beginner's questions that, for example, @elilla has written about again and again and again; if you want some perspective on the matter there's a whole timeline of that from someone who actually managed what we all failed

@koakuma this post comes with a grain of salt because i've never actually managed to do it but my understanding comes down to: you need a reliable way to motivate yourself. If you are not capable of building and maintaining habits and having long term motivation, it is not going to work.
That motivation can be intrinsic (your brain gets tickled by grammar, etymology fascinates you, etc) or extrinsic (you have a media you want to discover in that language, you have friends who speak said language, etc). The former source is brittle, because your needs and goals will shift as you move along (from, e.g., learning characters to learning words to making sentences; you might find it stimulating to learn vocabulary for the sake of it but extremely boring to make sentences and dialog alone).
The latter group (extrinsic) inevitably runs against the "you did it alone" constraint. Eventually, if you get comfortable enough in a language, it''s gonna feel weird to keep practicing it alone. Without anyone to give you feedback you absolutely risk learning in a "crooked" way (not an idiom; i made that expression up) with quirks and blind spots and missing skills that someone who expresses themselves in the language knows about but that you don't, because you're just doing it alone.
And if you can't start building habits in the first place anyway because of any neurodivergence or your life situation being unstable well, either you overcompensate for it and hope you can keep it up or you're most likely toast already.

@taylan@fedi.feministwiki.org for your own very specific definition of women, of course, because why not also exclude people from that 😉
And no, I in fact do not believe that excluding people by gender is a good solution in any case. It's no different than excluding people by skin color, or religion, or place of birth, etc. This stuff is operating on stereotypes and only stereotypes. If you have to exclude, exclude on based on actions, not based on labels.
It really is just racism in different clothes
