The Wing: An Inside Look at a Women-Only Workspace

At The Wing — a new 3,500-square-foot co-working space and social club in New York City — the couches are pink, the lamps are pink and the membership policy is simple: No boys allowed. Photo: Elizabeth Shafiroff For The Wall Street Journal

I think the only way they get away with this legally is because it's hidden in the shroud of a "social club"

[DeRussellMasina]

Just imagine....imagine a "Mens" only office space. Women would sh!t a brick

[aubreymyers]

This space is so cute but I feel like this is an adult sorority 🙄

[stGruhn]

I see no problem with this... if men were allowed the same thing. Contrary to the contemporary delusion that the sexes are not different, men and women need their own space. Gendered spaces/clubs are a great idea and should be encouraged.

Shame shame shame on you for the way you treat your employees, I will not be supporting this establishment

[bikboiii]

All women space! Progressive!
All men space! Sexist!

[deonpowell]

For all those complaining, please understand that there are and have always been men only space. Most high-end golf courses, colleges, and fraternities. These historically have belonged to men. You can google men’s club right now and you’ll get a big list.

so do I want to go in the NBA locker room take over minor role in TV shows but complain about alittle club you won't even try to stop the boy scout

[andremikha]

Why do we criticize Saudarbia for separating men from women? This is not better..
This really low level..men in Europe/US are treated very bad..

[cartagenafaytong]

I studied in an all-girls Catholic school and this totally makes sense to me. Women have a sense of community that some people quite don't understand. And no, I'm not a "feminazi"...

[daboys]

The hypocrisy of feminism. Time for a lawsuit.

[scottfabian]

It’s a good place for men too! Everyone welcome.

Part Co-working. Part social club. Part eatery. And 100% sexist. But it's for females so that little fact gets ignored. Everytime somebody wants to create a space for men. There's MASSIVE push back. "It's sexist!!!" "It's misogynistic!!!" But women can have their own gyms, and now their own office spaces, eatery, and discounts....

If men were still allowed our own spaces. This wouldn't be an issue. But now that we have to allow women in our spaces. Yet they can still exclude us from

I smoke cigars at a certain bar on a regular basis. Most patrons are male, but on Tuesday evenings the is a large group of guys that come in and bring their wives. It's a small space and even though the wives aren't loud. It's still shrill. I know we both need own spaces men just aren't allowed to.

[Xojzk]

It is great to see women practice what they preach. Segregated space for all!

[mariogiresi]

“...and we have a li-berry...”. Yes, she truly is an educated woman. Just more feminism and separatism. Same old boring thing.

[penguinmit]

I see proportional growth between the age of the place and number of cats residing in it.

[saifalam]

So many winny little softboy complaining and I love to see their cry about things they can't change

[madeasimmons]

I'm in a male only worspace. There is no drama, no discrimination. The only thing that matters is if you can do the job everyday

[MisterFridayOMG]

This is the definition of sexist and discrimination.

[vdjkdlp]

Wasn't the whole point of wanting to go out into the workforce with men to be treated like equals and not like shrinking violets who can't handle the world? My goodness 😲 #whyimnitafeminisr
