No it doesn’t exclude that, but it also unnecessarily mixes racial with gender discrimination, and in a general statement like that is odd to do that. The intention I perceived was to link the creation of spaces that women (or minorities) require to white men discrimination only, which is absurd in my opinion.
To make a similar example, saying “gay people need their spaces, because they are historically discriminated by black women” doesn’t “exclude” that also men discriminate them, or that also white women do, but I hope you can see what an odd statement that is, and if someone would find it misogynistic or racist, I think they would be right.
Thinking maliciously, I would say that’s the classic way for a white guy (the commenter stated that about himself) to make a statement that is less controversial because it only “accuses” their own demographic and the most acceptable demographic to critique.

Can you please then elaborate on what the following means, according to your interpretation?
Women and minority only spaces exist because white men as a group have historically discriminated against them

It’s more like that stage only allows women participants. But the stage example doesn’t work well because a forum is not a stage.
Either way, I take issue with the idea that a male participation makes a space inherently unsafe. You didn’t say it explicitly, but you kinda implied it.
I think this is not only false, but it’s divisive and it’s a terrible narrative to build that harms cohesion in the face of class struggle.

~white~ men as a group
Unless you are suggesting women have not being discriminated in non-white communities?

Do you/did you feel that random members of a demographic “speak for you”? Why would that be the case for people you have nothing in common with except some amount of genetic material?

To be fair the vast, vast majority of the rules are simply common sense stuff. If you are not an asshole, you can avoid reading community rules and in 99% of case you won’t violate any.

Django Unchained
Isn’t it ironic that a movie with so many uses of that word helped you understand that word better?
To me it seems a very good reason to believe that people shouldn’t be afraid of the syntax of the word, but definitely oppose the use when the semantic is the despicable one.
