This is kind of insulting.
Australia does not have domestic violence shelters for men (first very small opened two years ago), but there are "sheds", where you are allowed to work while healing! Even dogs get more resources!
- justinclift 3y agoWhere's the insult? Honestly asking, as I'm not understanding where there's an insult in any of it.
- throw932490 3y agoDisparity in gender based spending. If woman is in trouble, she gets hotline, accommodation and all sort of services for free. If men is in trouble, he can build furniture!

- throw932490 3y agoThat is just not true. Old men also face all those things. But they are not allowed to leave abusive relationship, for cost of alimony and child support. There is no charity for someone, who on paper owns house and makes 100k (but lives in his car). "Giving up too early" is just an excuse for this systemic abuse!
- justinclift 3y agoAhhh yeah. That I agree with. Mens Shed's themselves aren't insulting, it's just the extremely unbalanced treatment of the sexes which has led to their need.
- gardenhedge 3y agoI noticed there was no criticism section on Wikipedia (Hackerspaces has that section). Looking at this comment being downvoted.. Can anyone explain why men sheds should not be critisized?
- throw932490 3y agoMen only spaces is very inflammatory subject. Bomb threads, SWATing, and so on.. It also leads to uncomfortable questions about women only spaces. I am not surprised Wikipedia avoids this section.
- defrost 3y ago> Bomb threads, SWATing, and so on.. You do not appear to have anything rational to add on the subject of Men's Sheds in Australia. Do you have any evidence of bomb threats or SWATing wrt to Men's Sheds in Australia?
- throw932490 3y agoNo direct evidence for Mens Sheds of Australia. I have a long list for in US and Europe. We can start with Erin Pizzey, and why she left UK!
- stuaxo 3y agoIs SWATing even much of a thing outside the US? I get the feeling you are trying to hijack the thread.
- 000ooo000 3y agoThe absence of a criticism section on a Wikipedia page has nothing to do with whether or not the subject of that page should be criticised..
- gardenhedge 3y agoIt is notably missing
