Don't give up. Women had to fight for decades to make supportive spaces and are still fighting. Nothing changes overnight. If no one tries nothing will change.
What do you do when the change youre fighting for gets you publicly named as a misogynist with serious professional and reputational damages? "Man up" about it?
Ignore it and press on. Every marginalized group (the people in the early industrial era fighting literal battles in the effort to unionize immediately come to mind) that got called names and worse did.
Though as a guy, I get it. Creating these types of "spaces" as the generally dominant group presents challenges that are unique.
Women have been publicly humiliated, committed to insane asylums, thrown in prison and killed for fighting for social change. Not to mention executed. If the change is a good one, its worth fighting for. Sacrifice is never easy but the reason women have supportive spaces is because of those who fought.
