Why the solution to building men's shelters is not simple

Current_Finding_4066 · 2023-08-30T08:08:12+00:00

Because women get government funding and also funding from private sources to pull it off and it is bigoted to pretend men are supposed to build and run shelters without such funding and support. Even more glaring is this in the face of men playing majority of the taxes and somehow not being entitled to support.

estebanforwa · 2023-08-30T09:44:46+00:00

Apparently, creating a safe space for males, in the example of female safe spaces, violates the rules of EQUITY.

Clown world 🤡

Imsomedude-dude · 2023-08-30T08:30:52+00:00

whenever I wonder can our situation as men get any worse I learn about things like this

OnlyAITAcomments · 2023-08-30T09:18:22+00:00

Feminists keep proving to me that they are all misandrists.

vegansoymilk · 2023-08-30T08:20:18+00:00

This is shocking. Death threats, suicide, victimisation, pets killed. Why because feminists disagree with those in need being helped.

PricklyGoober · 2023-08-30T08:33:14+00:00

“Those aren’t real feminists!!!!”

Here, I’ve typed it on behalf of those morons.

bfte2 · 2023-08-30T09:36:51+00:00

I wonder what the morons of r/DoubleChromosomes, r/feminism and r/MensLib think of this...

jessi387 · 2023-08-30T13:32:34+00:00

How about this. Why don’t women build their own shelters ? Oh wait, they don’t. They get government funding from the tax dollars of men. So they don’t even build their own shelters. They use the labour of men to do it.

TheTinMenBlog · 2023-08-30T08:00:37+00:00

It was men who built the pyramids and laid the great railroads.

Yes, it was men who laid down the bedrock of society; from the buildings high above, to the infrastructure deep below, all of it was built by the hard work of hardened male hands.

And so the problem of there being no shelters for male victims of abuse, seems kinda simple to solve?

Let’s build them boys! 🔨

How hard could it really be; bricks and mortar, some timber, chuck in some hard hats and some elbow grease, and were done.

In fact, funnily enough, it wasn’t women or bra burning feminists who built the first women’s shelters, in fact… it was men.

So why can’t the boys get together again, and reunite, to do what they do best? Build.

Why can’t ‘men build their own refuges’, as you’ll probably hear asked around social media.

Well, the issue is not necessarily the building itself, the boys love that, the problem begins when the building is done.For there is a huge amount of hostility around the idea of men’s spaces, especially refuges, and to make it harder there’s quite literally no funding to help build them.

Many of tried of course, but each have fallen at the wayside of contempt, anger, neglect, outrage, or apathy.

For the world will congratulate and pat you firmly on the back for building spaces for vulnerable women escaping violent homes, and rightly so.

Just don’t expect that to last if you try to do the same for the men and boys.

The smiles will drop, the funding vanishes.

The proud face of joy turns to a snarled lip of contempt.

Reminding us that the problem is not what men can or can’t do, because building is easily, the issue is… what are men allowed to do?

So tell me, would you ever open a refuge for men?

Could you?

So we can say that Feminists are the domestic terrorist continuing a cycle of violence against men based on what I just read.

SargeRedVsBlue · 2023-08-30T14:49:31+00:00

Even if men built their own shelters and build them to be a beautiful safer haven for abused men, guaranteed as soon as the “grand opening” there will be protests right in front of the building.

I am currently helping a family member start a shelter for men BUT in order to be safe we are placing it right across the border in Mexico(2 mins walk) so in case anyone starts to protest we can have our “private security” escort people off the property…..

This shelter will be by word of mouth only to the most vulnerable. It’s sad that we have to go to Mexico to feel safe.

Away_Entrance1185 · 2023-08-30T11:59:43+00:00

I recognise this style, this is from TheTinMen Blog on Instagram, definitely worth a follow and we should probably back up all their posts using the Internet Archive in case anything ever goes down south with Meta. Also, he was recently at the Chris Williamson podcast.

Dan-Man · 2023-08-30T10:19:46+00:00

Is there a way to share these 10 slides without linking to Reddit?

2023-08-30T11:32:50+00:00

Of course people would try to shut them down. Woman’s abuse shelters are cash cows, if men’s shelters pop up, there goes funding that they want.

HawaiianShirtsOR · 2023-08-30T14:49:02+00:00

It's an extension of the attitude I've often faced at home. If my wife has a problem, I'll help her fix it. If I have a problem, she tells me to fix it myself or tries to convince me it's not really a problem.

Dan-Man · 2023-08-30T10:19:21+00:00

That's messed up beyond all recognition.

El_Psy_Congroo4477 · 2023-08-30T09:33:18+00:00

Feminism is cancer.

MeisterMGTOW · 2023-08-30T10:38:28+00:00

Simps gonna simp. The beatings continue until morale improves.

drifters74 · 2023-08-30T14:08:15+00:00

Why are men treated like this?

Ashley4645 · 2023-08-30T15:36:39+00:00

This is sad. Keep spreading awareness. Eventually, someone will notice. 😪

ButWhatOfGlen · 2023-08-30T15:05:42+00:00

Thanks TinMen. You always do a great job of presenting the troubles of men in perfect little packages for those of us needing talking points. 👏

danielm316 · 2023-08-30T14:53:49+00:00

This is so sad. It seems to be that there will never be compassion and care for men at the level that women get.

ThisGuyVirtueSignals · 2023-08-30T16:08:36+00:00

TinMan always spouting fire on whatever platform he chooses to post on

Forsaken_Platypus_32 · 2023-08-30T20:28:17+00:00

If any other political movement engaged in these tactics they would be labeled a hate group. The only reason the left went after TERFS is because of their perceived misogyny towards transwomen, not because radical feminists take their hatred of men to an extreme. THINK ABOUT THAT.

JimmyGBA · 2023-08-31T01:40:25+00:00

I could write an essay on all my complaints I have about shelters after working at one. The day I mentioned to a coworker about the lack of any support for men she was flabbergasted.

I basically said, "When women are being abused they have dozens of places to call that will even assist with transportation. When men are abused they either have to stay or go become homeless." She had never even thought about that before.

cloudlessjoe · 2023-08-30T08:49:46+00:00

This breaks my heart.

I don't hate feminists, I think they are wrong, but I could never hate someone for disagreeing.

I do hate the way men are treated. It just, it makes me sad. Disappointed in people. Hurt.

Even when we just want to be left alone and don't engage, we can't even get that.

It just doesn't ever make sense.

femalevolence · 2023-08-30T11:41:53+00:00

If you're not already, you should get on TikTok/Instagram and get these messages out to the younger demographic. These posts are well-designed, informative, easy to read, and most important of all, shocking. With a little bit of style (tasteful music/narration, a fuller sensory experience) you could go far.

knight_call1986 · 2023-08-30T12:35:23+00:00

It is similar to the black wall street towns in the 1920s. Blacks went and tried to build something to support themselves and thrive, and were promptly destroyed for it. Murdered, pillaged and finally the towns were burned down.

The difference with this is they are blocking the facilities for men from ever getting built. I think just from the infographic shown, if the shelters were built they would simply be destroyed. But they won't do it themselves. They will get those simp ass white knights that hang around them to do it.

I think what will have to happen is that men will have to employ a guerrilla mentality when it comes to building facilities to help us. We have to be resilient and we have to hold the line.

Kollv · 2023-08-30T16:48:11+00:00

We truly live in a society

DiversityIsDivisive · 2023-08-30T17:21:23+00:00

Wow. Erin Pizzey made an announcement right here on r/MensRights back in 2013. Amazing

StarCitizen117 · 2023-08-30T18:13:55+00:00

Radical feminism is a terrorist organization

Combatmedic2-47 · 2023-08-30T20:57:43+00:00

They shot her dog. Goddamn that’s cold.

DolbecEntertainment · 2023-08-31T00:27:06+00:00

If we go in a shelter we give the control of the house to a women and she gna destroy everything and the kids life. I still aprove that homeless people need more place to live . Help is supose to be unisex not only men or women. Wath men need is better lawyer for lower price.

Fit424 · 2023-08-31T04:19:26+00:00

First, it's men who build women's shelters.

Second, the data demonstrating the abuse of quite literally anyone and everyone who advocates from men at all is on a Reddit site that has to warn anyone that somehow affiliates with the page that there are bots and groups who will auto-ban them.

Third, as a gay man, I'd like to point out that each and every person who opposes men's rights is racist, homophobic, and transphobic. Men make up half of the population of every race group, including all minorities. Men make up 100% of the gay male population. If FTM trans are to be considered as men, then they make up 100% of trans men as men.

The relentless prejudice and bigotry is not a good look. Why do all men continue to let this happen? We are united by this one thing that does not change regardless of race, religion, politics, nationality, sexuality, income, age, or anything else. The abuse will continue until we stand together and stand up.

chankletavoladora · 2023-08-30T16:08:55+00:00

Said as if the women's shelters were built by women and funded only by women.

DeDeepKing · 2023-08-30T14:40:50+00:00

that's sad

saito200 · 2023-08-30T16:13:52+00:00

These would be amazing as YT videos with voiceover

2023-08-30T19:50:09+00:00

We're too busy building womens' abuse shelters, and every other damn thing too.

SargeRedVsBlue · 2023-08-30T14:51:25+00:00

Aren’t ALL shelters built by men? Or do the women’s shelters hire female only contractors to build it????

Sendmeloveletters · 2023-08-30T23:24:59+00:00

Why are feminists able to organize but not men? Does every guy who tries this commit suicide?

2023-08-31T00:37:20+00:00

I think the owner of one of the very few shelters for male domestic abuse victims recently committed suicide because he was so aggressively harassed by feminists and liberals.

vwatchrepair · 2023-08-31T01:07:35+00:00

This is crazy. No media blast about any of this? Wow.

KoKoChocolate · 2023-08-31T02:49:30+00:00

Domestic Violence Funding Sources by State

HUD ANNOUNCES $2.8 BILLION IN ANNUAL FUNDING TO HELP PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS

some communities spend money for good things...

Seattle's tiny home villages pose as a potential solution to Spokane's homeless crisis

San Jose Opens Tiny-House Community to Shelter the Homeless

Colorado group battles homelessness with "housing first" approach

This Tiny Home Community Gives Homeless Veterans A Chance - Working To End Veteran Homelessnes

others not...

Officials in Nevada demolish tiny homes built for homeless in Las Vegas

This LA Musician Built $1,200 Tiny Houses for the Homeless. Then the City Seized Them.

la update:

Tiny home villages pop up for LA's homeless: 'They saved my life'

anyways would be great to know where all the money goes and maybe cut funding of useless stuff...

The Housing and Homelessness Division (HHD) is within the California Department of Social Services (CDSS). The Division is responsible for program development and oversight of statewide housing programs funded by the CDSS..

OzoneLaters · 2023-08-30T13:59:45+00:00

Seems like men need to save their money.

DTreatz · 2023-08-30T23:46:51+00:00

Yes.

Gynocracy. Matriarchy. Female Supremacy.

All the same.

Which is why I say, I hope men keep leaving society. Let it burn.

I did hear about Erin Pizzey but not the others, thanks for sharing!

So sad smh hope the world changes for the better in my lifetime

Nixthebitx · 2023-08-30T23:47:44+00:00

My aunt started the first battered women's center in Jacksonville. It's expanded to one of the largest and most beneficial centers in the city.

Decades ago, she and the other leading members (which include men, by her insistence) expanded the services offered there and the reason the center existed: as a safe haven for ALL experiencing abuse. STD testing, housing, therapy services, work placement assistance, prenatal care, and ensuring safety and comfort for everyone that enters the center... Men, women, children ... everyone has a home there, has a safe haven, has a community of support. She fought for that, still fights for it..

Shes the person I think of when I think 'feminist'. Someone who cares for all - equality cannot and does not exist when the care of one group means more than the well-being or inclusion of another.

If a specific shelter for men is being built, it deserves funding and support on the same levels and availability that any other center receives. If a case arises, especially in the US (because I'm familiar with the laws, that's why I call out this country), where any federal, city or state department doesn't allocate funds as it does elsewhere after they've been sought out by policy..then that governmental or private business needs to be legally addressed.

If men had a place to go, for themselves, to have a sense of security, camaraderie and abundant resource provisions for their needs when they freaking need it..well, I can't help but believe a lot more men would talk about what's happening, more attention would be brought to matters that freaking matter, and less men would go through life carrying the hell they experience(d). There's never a reason to leave another to suffer in silence.

JacydenPurplLion · 2023-08-31T00:20:53+00:00

You would think those who suffered from abuse would be happy that others who suffer from abuse would be getting help as well.

2023-09-01T10:23:27+00:00

I knew of the threats Mrs. Pizzey got - I didn't know of the poor dog she had. Nor did I know about libraries refusing to stick Dr. Strauss' books.

This is fucking disgusting. Those people are vile, and every day I understand more and more why the Suffragettes had to resort to militant and violent tactics to be heard.

But this time, it wouldn't work as it would only be used to push the movement down and blame it on "toxic masculinity" or whatever the current buzzword is. It makes me sick.

Prophetspeaks · 2023-09-01T14:42:29+00:00

Because feminist will sue arguing gender discrimination and the shelter will be filled with the weemins just out of petty, then complain about men doing crazy sh1t and what monsters we are, cus of mental health and at the same time denying men help,

normal2131213123 · 2023-09-03T11:27:50+00:00

Damn, lived my entire life without even knowing these people who tried to help men but no one helped them. god, the world failed men.

LoveMasc · 2023-09-12T12:45:15+00:00

In Ireland we have 'mens sheds' a government funded project. In my old job I used to recommend them to lonely guys, men who needed friends etc and ofc. On occasion, women would complain that they want to see what they are like/why can't I attend...

It's called a 'mens shed' same premise as an all women's gym, it's a safe space for men to hang out and support other men. Women have LOADS of options, at least here they do, it seems the only location only for men in the entirety of Ireland would be the 'mens sheds.'

Thankfully they are very popular now. But still get some silly backlash... Straight lonley or older men are the usual ones who use them, but all kinds of men are welcome. You just need to live your life as a man full-time and you can come and go as you please and hopefully pick up a few new skills, like woodworking classes, or make a friend or two. Regardless of anything else, being a man is the prerequisite for admission.

MissSnuggleBunny · 2024-06-14T08:30:34+00:00

Fuck feminists! I hate them so much! Heartless! How can you treat someone like this?! No fucking humanity😭!

DaJosuave · 2023-08-31T07:11:16+00:00

This was a great quality post.

We need more of thisnrathernthanna bunch of yapping of self-pity or women hating.

urbansamurai13 · 2023-08-30T09:13:02+00:00

In pamel 8, I wanna correct something. It's not "the world" that is hostile to men. It's the west. Only in America, Europe, Australia, and anyone who can be included under the "west" umbrella. The rest of the world is sane.

BowlerOk2224 · 2023-08-30T20:28:48+00:00

I don't love to build things at all.
