I Got An Email From Work, & I'm A Little Pissed, Am I Bugging?

[Prince.Skeletor]

So next year for the month of February my company is looking for employees to volunteer to distribute gifts and food to women affected by homelessness.
As soon as I read that I was like why would we differentiate between gender for homelessness?????

At the same time I could see women being affected by homelessness in different ways than men are, but at the end of the day i'm not sure by how much.
At the end of the day if you don't have a place to live you don't have a place to live.

I'm in IT so i'm surrounded by such initiatives, not homelessness related but you know the whole push for Women in IT, and women getting awards that are only for women, women's celebration dinners/events bla bla bla.
Whatever, i'm okay with that.

But for that to bleed into homelessness................
Am I bugging? I'm not terribly offended by it, but it's quite the eyebrow raise man.
And to the thread subject title, i'm a little pissed, so I mean that literally, just a little pissed, but maybe mostly confused I don't know..

Thoughts?

Why are you a little pissed? shyt ain’t that serious. Be glad your fortunate enough to not be homeless yourself

Big FACTS!
Also, as messed up as it is being homeless, it's scary a/f for women and children. They get to see how devious people are to people that are vulnerable.

Women in those situations have it much worse.

Everyone who needs help deserves it, but just because you can’t help everyone doesn’t mean you shouldn’t help someone

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

ya i completely agree women have it worse
but when i see homeless people I usually mostly see men

Not to say women being homeless is not a thing, you go around NY you'll see a few sleeping on cardboard boxes in the heat of the sun.

It just doesn't feel right I guess...

OP you should remember that men and women are not the same, and experience hardships/trauma differently. Likewise our society does not treat both genders the same.

search up how homeless women deal with their periods

This is a silly thing to make a thread about

I got a letter from the government the other day. I opened and read it, it said they were suckers.​

If you're so concerned about homeless men you have all the agency to do something yourself.

You doing way too much OP, just don't participate. Nikkas at my start up was always advertising some non Harlem organizations and support Ukraine.

I just didn't participate

Too much coli for you

Homeless women with their kids in a shelter. The kids are at risk of being preyed on by lowlifes. Bring some holiday cheer to their lives.

I don't see how you can feel a way about helping someone who has nothing.

OP needs a delicate balance of Kevin Samuels and Derrick Jaxn, can't always be a#HOHH
