Disparity 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!

Ahhh 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.
The risk profile for old men is very different than the one of young women.
For the latter, it is often domestic violence and accomodation insecurity, but for the former, it is not having a feeling of purpose and giving up too early.
Very few old men want four walls and being undisturbed between them. They wither in such setting.

That 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!
Honestly asking, as I'm not understanding where there an insult in any of it.
