(They Were Never Here for the Space — They Were Here for Us)

What if women disappeared from the world tomorrow?

No more moms at school drop-off.

No more women at the yoga studio.

No more female baristas, colleagues, classmates, volunteers, servers, or strangers.

Just… ✨gone.✨

Would men still show up?

Would they still perform?

Would they still pretend to be nice?

Or would the illusion crack?

What if men weren’t showing up because they liked the space… but because we were in it?
