Why does Matt Damon promote giving access for women to clean and safe water but not men?

PhaedosSocrates · 2021-12-06T16:22:47+00:00

Men don't need water and it is the fault of the Patriarchy that women do.

RoadsterTracker · 2021-12-06T17:11:13+00:00

Honest answer, he can probably raise more money if it is "for women". But in all seriousness, if women have access to clean and safe water, men likely will as well.

If you look at the site, you can see that men are also benefiting. It just "sounds" better to mention women and children. https://water.org/our-impact/all-stories/

ApprehensiveMail8 · 2021-12-06T18:03:00+00:00

It's just marketing. People are more charitable toward women and children then they are toward men.

Unless you are handing out bottled water, the infrastructure serves the whole community, including the men. They just won't tug as many heartstrings on the poster.

BradenAnderson · 2021-12-06T15:53:59+00:00

Because sexism is cool when it’s against men. Never trust these radicals who claim to fight for gender equality

intactUS_throwaway · 2021-12-06T16:30:21+00:00

Maybe someone swapped out his cologne with Eau de Simp. 🤷🏻‍♂️

(Humour is my coping mechanism.)

OldEgalitarianMRA · 2021-12-06T16:16:43+00:00

Because everything has to be seen out of the lens of feminism in our Hollywood dystopia.

McFeely_Smackup · 2021-12-06T18:30:06+00:00

Because men don't need water. They survive off their patriarchal privilege.

PorcupinePower · 2021-12-06T16:02:55+00:00

Come on, we don't need water. Or mental care or homes or our kids....

riverview_man · 2021-12-06T16:57:44+00:00

Because Hollywood is all for equality when it benefits women and misandry is the hot topic of the era and ANY ONE THING negative or that sounds negative towards women is misogynistic

Afraid-Cookie1006 · 2021-12-06T16:34:29+00:00

I wouldn't mind some water too tbh

Castor997 · 2021-12-06T16:46:10+00:00

He is a feminist turd nothing less.

_italian_dude_ · 2021-12-06T17:50:56+00:00

his mind:

water is for women ♀️💧men are strong they can stay without water ♂️💪💪only women need water or they will die!!!1!1!!💀😵 btw men useless idc if they die lmao 🤣🤣🤣

Canttakethewhyfromme · 2021-12-06T20:00:23+00:00

I'm sure I'm going to get hate for this, but probably just to get more support for his cause. If it helps women or children, it just gets more attention. I'm just glad that his solution is something that will help everyone in need, not just help only minorities or women.

The sexist pigs at water.org are all about providing benefits to women, for political purposes. This quote from their web site makes it clear.

"Empower a woman with water and she can change her world When women are empowered with safe water and toilets at home they are empowered to change their world. No longer burdened by the water crisis, they can care for their families. They can start small businesses, adding to their household income. They have the time and water to garden and cook food for their families. And, they no longer face unsafe situations when defecating in the open or walking to distant sources for water. Access to safe water at home gives women hope, health and opportunity."

It all about women. Or put another way. This charity excludes men.

OzoneLaters · 2021-12-06T18:11:29+00:00

Because men will be fine drinking their own piss like Kevin Costner in Waterworld

r/HydroHomies joined the chat

New-Distribution6033 · 2021-12-06T17:40:22+00:00

To be fair. In most areas of the world this charity helps, the water for the home is carried in pots from a communal well. It's the women who carry it. So, even though his campaign is aimed at women (which will bring in the bling) in reality, it will help their whole household.

The bigger issue is why would we, as a society, help a cause listed specifically for women, but not one for families?

lporiginalg · 2021-12-06T18:32:38+00:00

A lot of these pedowood guys have guilty consciences because they were so chummy with Weinstein.

swollemolle · 2021-12-06T17:42:46+00:00

If you read the transcript from the interview he did for Radio Davos, he talks about a trip he took where he met a little girl who would spend hours walking to and from a well to collect water for her family. He states that in this part of the world, the collection of water is left up to the women and children which is bad because these people could be doing other things if they didn't have to spend so much of their time doing one chore. The Little girl he met has dreams of leaving her village and becoming a nurse.

I know this is mens rights, but not everything is against us men. In this situation, Matt Damon is exhibiting a positive male trait that all men should exhibit anyway. And that is care for others, selflessness.

UnHope20 · 2021-12-06T20:26:32+00:00

You do know that Matt Damon hates men right?

WingsofSky · 2021-12-06T21:54:15+00:00

Maybe he's a bigot?

YesYesYesVeryGood · 2021-12-07T00:28:47+00:00

Is it men in poverty is a "so what" stance, but women in poverty is a crime against humanity? It's not right, but it is marketing.

pappo4ever · 2021-12-06T18:06:02+00:00

Matt Damon was almost cancelled many times and now he has to simp to be pardoned by the woke police.

SnappaDaBagels · 2021-12-06T22:07:54+00:00

I work in international development. The real reason is because the chore of getting clean water almost always falls on women.

Usually this means a woman must spend a few hours every day collecting firewood, then collecting water, then building a fire to boil the water until it's clean. Men don't do this it's not their usual role within the community.

Matt Damon's organization is trying to give water to women because their job is to get the water. It would be very weird if his organization gave clean water to men since their job isn't to get the clean water. It's molding the right solution to how a community operates.

AdComprehensive1312 · 2021-12-06T17:47:08+00:00

Because his is a Hollywood, leftist, indoctrinated cuck.

Midwinter77 · 2021-12-06T21:17:16+00:00

Virtue signaling gets you fame.

AlienAmerican1 · 2021-12-06T17:17:45+00:00

Probably because he's focusing on areas of the world where it's the women's job to get water. I'm not gonna fault him for trying to get clean water to anyone.

elebrin · 2021-12-06T17:32:14+00:00

A lot of aid is given to women rather than men because it is thought that women are more likely to share aid among their family, but men are more likely to try to use it to get ahead - keeping it for themselves, selling it off, whatever. Unfortunately it's a thing that happens.

Honestly, it's why instead of giving stuff away we need instead to focus on providing the means to make use of natural resources, and we need to do it through indigenous methods as much as possible so the locals understand how it works. Of course that is probably asking too much...

mycatlies · 2021-12-06T18:03:53+00:00

Women and girls spend approximately 200 million hours a day fetching watched. Because it’s women that are responsible for the task charities are focused on them. Women and girls are often forced to quit school in order to just fetch water for their household. Fetching water is a physically demanding job that can put the lives of girls and women at risk. Young girls and pregnant women are forced to carry water containers far heavier than they can which results in health and safety issues. Fetching water also puts their lives more at risk from attacks from wild animals not to mention the risk of rape, assault, and kidnapping. Fetching water does keep them from performing more productive tasks like farming.

Women aren’t targeted in some big conspiracy theory against men or because women get more donations. It’s targeted at women because it’s a problem that predominately affects them. Your comment shows you don’t give a shit about clean drinking water, you’re just angry that something that doesn’t affect men isn’t more focused on me.

DirtyPartyMan · 2021-12-06T16:43:53+00:00

I believe you may be taking this too literally.

totoroloco_phd · 2021-12-06T19:54:40+00:00

To get female attention which most men crave

program_mer · 2021-12-06T20:03:40+00:00

the more support from women, the more chance of getting sex... he is a sexist simp!

It’s marketing dude people usually tend to do be more generous towards women and children so even if he wants to include men it might take the entire campaign down or might now make as much profit.

Inevitable_Brain9852 · 2021-12-07T04:16:11+00:00

Because of the fear that feminists would attack the group. This is the exact reason why google doesn’t have a special thing for international men’s day. Because they are afraid of the negative backlash for promoting equality.

StudentOfTheTruth0 · 2021-12-07T05:43:04+00:00

Maybe in his opinion men don't deserve even water any more.

Blauwpetje · 2021-12-08T11:52:33+00:00

The idea is often that men more often get it illegally anyway. And then they blame men for getting it illegally. It is almost symbolic of ALL men’s issues.

ismokealotofweed69 · 2021-12-06T21:30:06+00:00

Holy fuck man why do you give a shit? Like its actually sad how much shit like this affects your life

EnvironmentalWar4627 · 2021-12-06T16:17:43+00:00

Damon's water.org has given millions and millions of families access to water. Men and women included. Why would you think he's not supportive of getting men access to water too?

Average_Algae · 2021-12-06T21:52:40+00:00

Because there are places in India for example that women don’t go drink water because if they leave their places they will be raped. And this is an alarming cause of death. Many die from dehydration. Only women in particular locations die from dehydration because they are too scared to be sexually assaulted if they go for water.

So it makes sense. But naturally water is a right and everyone should work so all have access to water, but do not condemn someone that is doing something for a problem they are particularly touched about.

ismokealotofweed69 · 2021-12-06T21:42:05+00:00

Definitely far from crying bud, you need a friend

Singleservingfriendx · 2021-12-07T03:36:22+00:00

Publicists says this gives rep and money, what more do you need? Literally zero people do “good” for doing good, quit point fingers at bullshit and claim victimhood man, just be that asshole and cash in

lord_of_memezz · 2021-12-07T02:34:10+00:00

Because he is a Hollywood cuck looking for PC and internet points
