Re: The underground railroad, for women.

[(Anonymous)]

The "underground" part would really undo the whole project.

And look, I'm not an expert in the history of enslaved people in America, but my general understanding is you'd have big groups of people who were enslaved together. So if one of them could get out and find help they could either go back and get their friends/neighbors/family members to that same help, or else tell the help how to get in contact with the group.

That isn't the dynamic with domestic violence. A person might be the only one in their friend-group/family/neighborhood who is going through it. Or else they might think they are. You can't necessarily tell from the outside looking in. And then you've got the possibility for abuse inherent in handing people in vulnerable positions over to randos. Like sure, most will probably have a good heart but it only takes one person to really derail the train.

I think your heart is in the right place but you sound like Uber recreating a bus line. Or maybe a 17 year old internet leftist who'd rather burn down the imperfect systems that exist to build something perfect (how? for who? with what money?) that will never exist.

I think the original suggestion was kind of naive, but I think you're overstating your criticism by claiming they're 17 and want to burn the existing shelter system to the ground. I don't know of any shelter system that would even be inconvenienced, let alone destroyed, by some of the people who used to need their services being able to go somewhere else.

It's the kind of rhetoric I see a lot. Young and/or niave people who want to solve a problem that's So Obvious and So Easy. If Only Everyone Would Just ect.

Meanwhile they've done zero research into what's out there or what people need. And then you point out that animal shelters or homeless shelters or soup kitchens or warming stations already exist and NO! those have some flaw. And supporting an imperfect system is basically a sin. Better to do nothing but dream of perfection. I no more know that op is 17 than I know op is the personification of Uber. But they sound the same. Same vibes.

And yes, no shelter system would be destroyed by an alternative existing. Unless we took away the funding for existing shelters and put it toward a decentralized system acting in secret in private homes. I invision something like the change from orphanages to foster homes. I can't say that it would be better or worse.

AYRT

Ah. I don't have anything to add, but that does clarify for me why you were annoyed.
