Absolutely loved this, Ellen! And love that we have been thinking along the same lines (I also wrote about dwindling third spaces last month!) — it's scary to realize just how few third spaces exist anymore.
I also really appreciated the insight and exploration about men's third spaces — I've only realized after reading that most existing third spaces prioritize children & women and while they do need to have a safe space, we also need to establish similar spaces for men.
