For many of us on this wiki, this conversation is old hat. For anyone joining in and being curious about the ''why'' of WTF/FTW/W&T/Women's safer spaces, this space will serve as a means of understanding the need.

A good page with an okay primer as to why one might need/want safer spaces is [[Patriarchy and Bicycle Repair]].

Naming this sort of event can be challenging, and you'll want to think carefully about who you may be including or excluding.
