Cars are also REALLY not that convenient. I’m a dad to a four-month-old, and getting to appointments by bus/metro is SO much easier than using the car.

Car:

• Have to get the fucking car seat in the back seat
• Pack stroller in as well
• Drive with potentially screaming kid who feels isolated and lonely, feel like I’m gonna crash at any moment
• Parking lots SUCK to walk around in with a stroller,have to push kid out into the open before I can see around these tall cars and just hope nobody is speeding

Transit:

• Push stroller right on to kneeling bus/level-boarding platform
• can attend to my baby the whole time, no fussing.
• don’t have to worry about parking AT ALL

But then how will congress give taxpayer dollars to a private company to do a terrible job?

I mean, we COULD have a government run agency that retains skilled engineers and keeps a good talent and knowledge pool of people specialized at delivering services that hundreds of millions of people rely on OR we could give money to the lowest bidder and blame “government inefficiency” for the contractor’s fuckups.

This is a classic case of the Patriarchy / Toxic Masculinity hurting men too.

For the government officials to fund a Men’s shelter would mean admitting that men can have moments of weakness, which the men in power do not like.

This is right. Di-lemma literally means two-options.

Lemma means one option.
