A lot of the things we consider male and female is not BS. Perhaps it is to extreme left SJWs trying to destroy the boundaries between the two until we are a completely androgynous society who won't be able to defend ourselves when all those safe spaces are invaded. What we know as male and female has been established for centuries. Gender roles were taught and enforced, and done so for a very good reason: It taught boys how to be men, and girls how to be women. As human beings, males and females are equal, but from a biological, mental, and anatomical standpoint, we are different and different in a way where men and women compliment each other.
I mean, that only works in euro-centrist cultures, given how many African cultures were matriarchal until the colonisation, Native American (by which I mean on the whole continent) cultures were also pretty open on the whole sexual and gender identity until christianity was forced on them. I mean, if you want to get into it, women weren't believed to have souls in Ancient Greece, they didn't even have ages or birthdays since it was considered that a woman's life started at marriage (Greek culture may have been very forward in some aspects like sexuality and trans identities, but pretty lacking as to how it treated women). And again, if a woman chooses to NOT shave her body hair now she's called worse things than "SJW", but before the 1940s it wouldn't even have raised an eyebrow. Besides, saying men and women are "mentally" different from one another is... plain wrong, there's no peer reviewed study that proves that beyond going into a "nature vs nurture" debate (are women different than men because they're taught to be?).

I mean, just going by "men and women complement each other" erases homosexuality, which is present in the animal kingdom and is even given a biological reason (it helps keep the population growth under control). Really, the only ones I see calling for a "safe space" are specifically those either mocking the concept or that get "triggered" whenever confronted with anything that isn't completely heteronormative, not the actual people who only want to be treated with base respect.

Also, there are not only two sexes, that's invalidating intersex individuals who are born with both (and yes, before the inevitable "it's an exception, not the rule" then how do you treat them socially? it's not the same as being born deaf or blind, and we still have measures for them).
