Looks like I was a bit off. Looking it up again, it was a men’s shelter for domestic violence. The only one in the entire country was shut down due to a lack of funds over a decade ago. I do remember reading that there was pressure from some feminist groups to shut it down and helped to pull funding, but I can’t find articles that mention that, so either I’m remembering wrong, or the article was pulled.
I think they imagine that the resources for women were spontaneously built by governments, and it’s not fair that governments don’t do that for men, too!
The idea that the support networks were started by women in their homes, with zero public support for decades until they managed to demand it by building grassroots support might be totally alien to their sea-lioning ass.
When you say “they”, did you mean that “men”? Like, men tore down the nation’s only men’s rape clinic?
(genuine question, reading it back I can sound like a dick)
