A high proportion of human societies have chosen some form of '''gender segregation''' and it is one of the biggest criticisms westerners often level at non-western societies. In recent years there is evidence that western civilisation may be adopting increased gender segregation.

[[Women's spaces]] are areas or organisations which are reserved for the use of women. Until around 2015 men were rarely permitted access to women's spaces. Since the rise of the [[trans movement]] around that time [[trans women]] have been entering women's spaces with support from the government. As a result of the loss of [[men's spaces]] starting the 20th century, many men are unwilling to do anything to stop the loss of women's spaces in the 21st century.
A lot of gender segregation in western countries is being driven by feminists who state that they often feel threatened by men, sometimes merely by their presence.<ref>http://www.feministtimes.com/men-know-your-place/</ref> Women continue to form many women-only organisations in western countries (such as gyms).<ref>http://fitnessmarketing.com/2011/04/are-women-only-gyms-guilty-of-discrimination/</ref> Other segregated areas include women-only hotel floors<ref>http://www.bcbusiness.ca/marketing-media/vancouvers-women-only-hotel-floor</ref><ref>http://www.cpmsp.com/hotel-for-women.php</ref> with a prediction of women-only hotels soon.

Feminists assert that men dominate in conversations with women<ref>

The US has a growing number of female-only co-working spaces.<ref>http://theweek.com/articles/759527/rise-womenonly-coworking-spaces</ref><ref>https://archive.is/e3gy9</ref>
It may be reasonable for a society to permit gender segregation, but it must be on just and equal terms. Thus a society should permit both men-only and women-only organisations only if they are available on equal terms. A society should allow both or it should allow neither. Currently women in the west continue to enjoy uninterrupted access to women-only spaces and organisations while men are today largely prohibited from having men-only spaces and organisations.

Since the rise of the trans movement around that time trans women have been entering women's spaces with support from the government.
