After the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the U.N set up women-only food lines. Men were left to starve.

From the article:

Food distribution since the quake on 12 January has often been marked by poor co-ordination, gaps in coverage and desperate, unruly lines of needy people in which young men at times have shoved aside the women and the weak and taken their food.

Because they were starving to death and going days without food; wouldn't a better system have been to give everybody food? How were those men supposed to eat?

The World Food Programme said it would work to ensure men in need are not excluded.

This ended up never happening, there was never any plan and men were left to eat grass to try and survive.

World Food Programme measure designed to ensure vital supplies get through to everyone

Didn't it literally in the title of the article say that supplies are not getting through to everyone?

Imagine your wife, daughter, mother or sister just died and now you can't eat because you have no woman to give your tokens to.

This is not the way.

By all means, set up a seperate line if you REALLY think it's necessary, but don't stop men on their own from collecting food.

I feel sorry for men who think they will be treated better because of their political stances or skin colour or orientation.

Wouldn't be the first time they left men to die. Never forget that they left men to die at Srebrenica.

It's amazing how many men's issues are due to male disposability and gynocentrism.

Isn't this symbolic of men's plight in general? Women are protected and provided for all the time and men have to save themselves no matter what. Then when they turn more aggressive and criminal, it's: 'You see? Toxic masculinity, patriarchal violence, men are beasts!'

Apparently men don’t eat food.

Equality.

While the idea of food supplies for one sex only is bad enough, no one has mentioned so far that UN agencies have been marred by "sex for aid" scandals. Aiming for women/children only food lines seems to be a way to make that much more efficient.

There's more than one reason for discrimination to be a disgusting practise.

Women and children first!

Wait, scratch that. Fuck men.
