All-Female Warming Center Set to Close | New Haven Independent

New Haven’s only all-female warming center is set to close next week after a change in promised funding from the city.

Several staff members noted that many of the women who come to the Total Mankind Ministry warming center have survived domestic violence or sexual assault. Conyers explained that some of the guests who have been “traumatized by men” have expressed that they feel less safe in mixed-gender shelters or warming shelters.

Dalal noted that when Total Mankind Ministry shuts down in early March, the women can go to a warming center run by Omega Seventh Day Adventist Church or one run by the Grace and St. Peters Church in Hamden. Both of the alternative warming centers are mixed-gender spaces.

Like when women hate men it’s frustrating at worst, maybe it hurts someone’s feelings, but when men hate women they are shamed, abused, patronized, demeaned, objectified, raped, and murdered, ya feel me, so even if I WAS a raging misandrist like worst case scenario I’d be a bummer at parties, meanwhile a girl somewhere literally can’t leave her house because it’s dark outside.
