Crosspost "UK: Domestic abuse charity loses £5M in funding because it is not gender-neutral: Brighton council chiefs said an equality assessment found more support was needed for straight, gay and trans men — and Rise is mostly a women-only service." from /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates:

Refuge and domestic abuse service Rise had its money pulled after 26 years. This is a good news, government funded services should serve all victims regardless of their gender, racial, religious identity. but the article treat it as something negative !

Campaigners fear the decision will be echoed across the country, putting many women’s refuges at risk of closure.

Women’s Aid boss Nicki Norman, said: “We are deeply concerned.

“We are at serious risk of losing our network of refuges run by women for women.”

Guess what ? the KKK were very concerned during the civil rights movement. so what ? the media should focus on the victims of discrimination (male victims) not the people who are violating civil rights and treating them as if they are the victims !

Studies have found 91 per cent of domestic abuse is against women, who are much more likely to be seriously hurt or killed than male victims.

What ?! this is nonsense. only a bigot believe that 91% of domestic abuse is against women ! they didn't even link the study ! i guess they are talking about police reporting. men are less likely to report their abuse and the lack of services is one of the reasons.
