UK: "Women's refuge closed by 'politically correct' council as it does not cater for abused men"

Article here. Excerpt:

"Supporters of a women's refuge were 'shocked and stunned' to be told it is being closed - because it does not cater for men.

The emergency shelter was set up 13 years ago for women and children and adult males are not allowed to stay.

But council officials have now ruled that, because it does not serve both sexes equally, the money used to run the home would be better spent on an 'outreach service' to help battered husbands as well as wives in their own homes.
...
Anthony Wilsdon, spokesman for Supporting People, said the new outreach service would help more people. He said: 'We have identified a need to support more people in their own homes.

'There is also a need to make support open to male victims and families with older male children.'"

If the people whining about this were truly concerned with helping the women they would simply start helping men as well, thereby keeping the center open. As usual it's not about helping women (much less men) but rather about vilifying men by maintaining the pretense that only men are perpetrators.
