children?! where do you live?
in sf finding a shelter for children is disgustingly difficult and, as i finally concluded, impossible on weekends
i'm sorry, but conflating the issue of a perceived disparity with 'beliefs' about social gender consensus is unhelpful and only incites issue derailing ire
programs to help the homeless are flawed, i know it first hand, but complaining about someone else's idea of a solution does the least possible to help
if you want a shelter organised under your own incentives i'd suggest starting your own
it's an asshole thing to say but look at the landscape of shelters
currently we have overcrowded, underfunded understaffed solutions:
some universal, few women only, few men only
how do we remove the gender bias?
bulk the universal with the necessary staff that administer the specific needs of the gender exclusive shelters
but the universal shelters are already overcrowded, underfunded and understaffed so to ask more of them would only aggravate the issues further
so we need more shelters, and to have more people willing to open and operate a shelter, and some people get the will to do so by focusing their attention on a specific group, in this case gender based
why is there gender bias in shelters? i'd argue because the people who are willing to put in the work choose to create an environment for the gender bias
should we regulate out the bias with legislation forbidding discrimination based on gender? in the current landscape i only see that harming the issues because then those that have the personal will to run a gender biased shelter will lose their incentive and simply do something else, limiting the number of shelters available to share in the solution
instead i think the argument should be to fund a state run universal shelter program well enough that specific interest shelters get phased out proactively

If I'm correct, changing the beliefs will help fix the issue. > instead i think the argument should be to fund a state run universal shelter program well enough that specific interest shelters get phased out proactively Yes. The solution to disparity is enough abundance that it doesn't matter.
- justifier 11y agomy bad, i called it conflating because the differences between your own beliefs and the apparent beliefs of others were lost and i interpreted your statement as speaking for each ..acknowledging what I believe to be a causal relation. If I'm correct.. this new language clears up that confusion
