LuvGreenTea2019 (luvgreentea2019@spinster.xyz)'s status on Monday, 09-Oct-2023 03:30:54 JSTLuvGreenTea2019 @Flick Homeless women have high rates of mental illness and histories of abuse and PTSD. Some are fleeing domestic violence, and others have been attacked on the street. It's unconscionable to house males in women's homeless shelters.
This article written by a woman who worked in a shelter appeared in Feminist Current a couple of years ago.
"Protecting men at the women’s shelter"
"When women objected to the man masturbating in a nearby bed at night, a coworker mocked the women’s prudery to me, expecting I would find it equally absurd. How puritanical and square to be upset by some guy jerking off to pornography three feet away! My coworker did not write a report about the complaint. I did, but nothing came of it. Several weeks later, the man was restricted from the shelter, after threatening to shoot everyone, but his public masturbation and the distress it caused women trying to sleep in neighbouring beds was never addressed."

Males should use the men's shelter. Stop dumping men in women's shelters.
