"on behalf of .. all the other women and children we serve, we once again say thank you."
Why is it so damned hard to just say,"on behalf of .. all the other MEN, women and children we serve, we once again say thank you." instead of just women and children?
I will not give anymore to the Salvation Army either until they disavow their misandry.

I used to give money to the Salvation Army.
The opperative words being; "USED TO"!
Not even at Christmas time, will I put a cent in their red buckett.
Right now, my family gives money to the Lakota reservation, through an organization that DOESN'T discriminate against men.
There are people literaly FREEZING TO DEATH (that the media won't cover) on alot of reservations.
If this were the Salvation Army they would let the men freeze to death, apearantly, but not the women. In essence that is what it ammounts to.
If there is any doubt that this country has literaly declared war on it's male citizens, things like this should be a wake-up call...!
Thundercloud.
"Hoka hey!"

I was pissed when I read how the S.A. has made all men invisible. I'll never think twice about NOT reaching for my wallet the next time I hear that bell ringing. I should tell the MAN that is braving the freezing weather to collect donations that, although his actions are altruistic and are done selflessly, I pray you never need to ask for their help in return.

"although his actions are altruistic and are done selflessly,"
Actually, around here anyway, most of the time the bellringers are assigned through their half-way projects, and they are told that if they collect more than $50 they can receive a percentage. At least here, these are primarily men and some women receiving services from Salvation Army.

OK, thanks. I did not know that. From personal observation and recollection from childhood to present day, I only remember seeing men at the red coin pots swinging the bell. But, memories are not always reliable. I received a reply from the webmaster at the Salvation Army. I don't know the sex of the respondent but it was terse. I guess they've been receiving a few emails as of late. Noteably, this person said that they'd already responded to me, which they had not. Furthermore, the message said that since I don't care about facts, I will have to deal with it. If they are being innundated I can't say I blame them. The author did give me a nice God bless you at the end. The gist of my reply was that it is all about perception and if millions of men perceive, right or wrong, that they are being slighted then they do themselves a huge disservice. The consequences of such an omission may have an impact on the level of contributions given by men.

All non-profits (which do seek fat profits for the execs...) ARE FEMINIST now.
This is an area where feminists can attain high ranking jobs with bullshit degrees and with no true skill-set other than that they belong to a sisterhood that hates men.
These women maintain academic/gender feminist policy in all areas of public service as disenfranchised men sink deeper into the cracks of society.
In any city one can see that there is an underclass of mostly men living with little/no support from non-profit organizations.
These career girls have taken over government funded (and not) social organizations. They can not target men of power, so they deny help to the underprivileged men in society and get their false sense of self worth from helping women only.

This is one for Glenn Sacks, in my estimation. Time for a new campaign!
Also, if memory serves, the Independent Women's Forum recently gave high marks to the Salvation Army. But I doubt they would have given them the praise that they did had they known about this.
They are a highly visible organization in my town. They run a "Tree of Lights" campaign every Christmas season. Lots of media. Golden opportunities for exposure.

I refuse to support any organization that pretends that children are the spontaneous production of women. Services for "women and children" are just another way of making fathers invisible.

A quick review of the Salvation Army's international web site at www1.salvationarmy.org shows hundreds of programs and resources for women -- see their pull-down Quick Link for "women's ministries."
Included are rough estimates of millions of dollars flowing into women-centric activities.
Here's what a search for men's resources produced --
" Search Results for "men's programs"
Sorry, your search for men's programs produced no results."

Women the cornerstone of the family!?What bible are they reading?The bible states that man is head of the wife as Christ is head of the church and that the husband is the spiritual head of the family.Looks like another christian organization has sold out to the secular humanists and feminists.SHAME!

But how else can the feminists make women the "dominant gender"?
They must kill as many men, in as many ways possible.
It's just men. Who cares?

One question: When they say "on behalf of all the other women and children", was this in a form letter? Anre't they, by using the word "other", presupposing that the donor is also a woman or child? (Realistically, a woman, since it's adults who make these donations.)
I'd tell them to start with their thank-you notes when they decide to clean up their misandric act.

SJones writes "The Memphis Tennessee Salvation Army has joined the swelling ranks of feminist non-profits that claim to assist families, but create their own definition to excluse fathers altogether. I sent them money and received a letter of thanks say, "on behalf of .. all the other women and children we serve, we once again say thank you." No mention of serving men at all. When I worked for AutoZone's corporate office in Memphis the Salvation Army convinced the company to donate money for a women-only shelter in which pre-existing space for homeless men was switched to a female-only building. When I asked about this they claimed there are far more homeless women than men. I checked on this claim and found it to be completely false.
