If young women today don't like competing against men or having men in their locker rooms or if they have trouble finding a young man who wants to marry them they can all thank their mothers and grandmothers for their 50 year war on boys and men. They said boys and men didn't deserve their own spaces and equality was needed and girls and women were equal (but special). They young men know what happened to dad and grandpa in divorce court and have decided that 1) there is no upside in marriage for a man 2) they were tired of hearing about how equal (but special) females were and decided to play by the RULES laid down by someone else and be equal(but special) too. 3) There are women all over the world who love men and respect men as part of their culture and going to the process of finding one is an investment in your future and not a drain like every woman they have ever met. One thing women never learned is that you can only pee in the well so many times before it's undrinkable and they have been peeing in the man well for 50 years. If they want a shoulder to cry on try a BOY Scout ( if you can find one) Good job there too ladies

That male body exposing himself in designated female spaces is nonconsensual, state sponsored s€xual @$$ault and harassment and they need to be sued for that and for discrimination base on biological sex and failure to maintain safe spaces for biological women away from male bodies.

So excited both of you are such high quality women. I appreciate both of you having the courage to call out injustice. I truly admire people who are willing to take the heat from brain washed people who foolishly assume Riley and you are speaking out due to your hateful nature when really you are heroes who would rather face scorn and abuse than allow abuse of women to continue! Personally I have come to the place where labels that would offend and horrify me now have no effect. Saying women should have a safe lockerroom is not transphobic it is prudent. Me not wanting an open border doesn’t make me racist especially since people from all over the globe travel to Mexico to cross illegally. With that in mind what race would I be prejudiced against!

Two courageous role models for women.
my opinion: they are bullies by nature. Some of them look for any opportunity to join a group to target any decent individual. You see them causing damage at any and every opportunity. I don't even believe they feel strongly about any of the stated 'causes'.
I no longer need reminded to stay the hell away from San Francisco. It's an open air sanitorium from one end to the other.
Go Riley! If I had a daughter, I would want her to emulate you! You are a real feminist
These men in dresses should have been arrested and charged for physical assault. End of.
Wow! On screen… Two real women. Two honest and good beautiful women… who are real actual women! Never thought I’d see these days again.
Two amazing women. As an aside, there's a certain dignity in dressing in a way that calls more attention to the value of your words than your body.
