In honor of Women's Day, gently used professional attire is being donated by Uber to help disadvantaged women prepare for upcoming job interviews. Where's the support for disadvantaged men?

I personally don't find this to be bad. Men's professional attire is much more readily available at thrift stores and consignment shops. Women's professional attire is both more expensive and less available.

Poor women getting professional attire is harder than poor men getting professional attire. Addressing this disparity (disparity, not discrimination) is reasonable and valid.

An effort to help women is not in and of itself harmful to men.

Ask Uber if they would interested in doing something similar for men on Nov 19.

A company called "Moore's" here in Canada does an annual suit drive for disadvantaged men (they sell suits), and has done so for years. As has United Way if Im not mistaken (maybe they are in conjunction, i dont remember). Anyway, point is, dont sweat the small stuff so much, mostly because its small, and thus youll likely never hear about the counterpart.

Why would you want creepy, poor men working at your job ? /s

You don't need support, because you are privileged.

You have a penis. >90% of fortune 500 CEOs have penises.

Why can't you see the privilege. /s

We have patriarhy, there is no such thing like disadvataged men.
