It's honestly time.
Edit, the downvotes tell me I should at least explain why I feel this way
My opinion is informed because I work in the field where most of these monies end up being spent. Sadly what has happened is it has propped up a new system that is just as corrupt as the old one
Most of the objectives which are just and good and necessary, have been achieved to the degree that the government involvement can have a positive influence
Beyond this, it's just a swirling money pit, I see everyday how many millions are wasted, to the deprivation of real positive change
Most of the funding cuts are related to combating domestic violence.
Even if you think that women are treated fairly in places like jobs, the department isn't just covering "equal pay for equal work"
Hey don't get me started on that whole thing.
It needs to be said outright that most violence is driven by women. It's not wrong to state that per incident, men do more damage, but the facts are on my side.
One of the most sinister things is by continuing to assert the popular social media view that women need protection, we actually deny women protection. The amount of violence in non-binary relationships is insane my friend. And we also therby deny men protection, which is truly sad because if men are to occupy a new place in our world, they also need healing and protection.
