I call bullshit. Pretty sure it's illegal to abandon an 8 yr old. The tweet or whatever being responded to makes even less sense.

That said, I don't generally endorse -isms of any kind as they tend to lead to purity spiralling echo-chambers and ideological nonsense.

It is most likely bullshit. I worked at a woman's shelter for a long time and the cut off age for males entering with their mothers was 18.

13 or 14 is not an unusual cut off age for boys from a quick look at Women’s Aid

Can I bring my teenage sons with me?

This depends upon the individual refuge. Some allow sons up to the age of 16, while others cannot take boys over the age of 13 or 14. Very few refuges will accept male children up to the age of 18. Talk to the National Domestic Violence Helpline about other options you may have.

Why do women get so much special help anyway? And they make sure to cut off even minors from support simply for being male. Does the world just hate them?

They aren't just given this help.

It was entirely set up by women in the 70s and 80s.

Men won't do similar because most think female on male violence is hilarious.

First I'll say it's not hilarious because most girls my age could probably beat the shit out of me since I'm too weak-minded to fight back. On top of that women have a huge advantage at emotional abuse because of their higher and nearly unquestioned leverage over men in society. All she has to do is accuse him of something and his life is ruined.

Second it's not just violence support. There are women-only support foundations for everything. The same rarely exists for men, and if they do no one donates to them. This is why 99% of the homeless are men. People just don't care if they suffer.

The real answer is that all the male support groups and male-only orgs were dismantled or forced to integrate by activists. Men had plenty of peer support but feminists thought it was sexist…

Examples?

I remember the book Bowling Alone, men's social support groups failed because men became less sociable nothing to do with women or activists. So much easier to sit in and watch TV rather than go out and face socialising with people.

People will never care about men because they are built to both gross you out and scare you. Women are built to look innocent and cute in the same way a child or pet does so they can beg much more successfully and generate sympathy from others. The reason for this has to do with the fact that men can have a lot more children than women can, so to nature and our primal selves their lives are no big deal. But women must be provided for at all costs. This is a perfect example of how society's toxic positivity is a massive cope and you most definitely CANNOT accomplish anything you want, you pretty much have to be born for everything you can do. In fact some people are simply better and worth more than others, plain and simple, and human instincts recognize this reality. The gnostics were so right about this world.

It's even more pathetic that she felt threatened by an 8 year old.

I’ll take them seriously when they stop using the “I’m afraid!” tactic to regain control of situations that they start with men.

I enjoy watching TERFs fight the TRAs over the insane tranny gender ideology and I side with the TERFs on that issue. But, at the end of the day I'm no friend to TERFs either. When Chappelle said in his standup "I'm team TERF" I don't think he really knew just how unhinged radical feminism is. And I wish he hadn't said it because it's given a lot of legitimacy to their movement.

Thankfully right now the TRAs are providing to be a big distraction for the radfems but make no mistake once the war is over and the dust settles they'll go right back to their delusions of patriarchal oppression and all of the man-hating insanity that follows from it.

unfortunately once the hot pile of rats in a gunny sack of SJWism gets bored of a specific type of trans women, we'll be going right back to the RFs
