Effects of Westernization On Men's Spaces
Some in the Western World think men's spaces are discriminatory toward the rights of women, and therefore fit for abolition. This is due to an overlap of previously all-male spaces and what was considered the "old boy network" - channels of social and financial upward mobility that were conducted in all-male spaces. All-female spaces are generally viewed as beneficial for women, which would seemingly be hypocritical except for this reason: all-female spaces have not historically tended to be restrictive of male financial and social upward mobility and power.
There are hardly any exclusively-male spaces in western culture now, and even former strongholds of men's spaces like military forces and sports have increasingly become gender neutral.
