13 or 14 is not an unusual cut off age for boys from a quick look at Women’s Aid

Can I bring my teenage sons with me?

This depends upon the individual refuge. Some allow sons up to the age of 16, while others cannot take boys over the age of 13 or 14. Very few refuges will accept male children up to the age of 18. Talk to the National Domestic Violence Helpline about other options you may have.

Why do women get so much special help anyway? And they make sure to cut off even minors from support simply for being male. Does the world just hate them?

They aren't just given this help.

It was entirely set up by women in the 70s and 80s.

Men won't do similar because most think female on male violence is hilarious.

First I'll say it's not hilarious because most girls my age could probably beat the shit out of me since I'm too weak-minded to fight back. On top of that women have a huge advantage at emotional abuse because of their higher and nearly unquestioned leverage over men in society. All she has to do is accuse him of something and his life is ruined.

Second it's not just violence support. There are women-only support foundations for everything. The same rarely exists for men, and if they do no one donates to them. This is why 99% of the homeless are men. People just don't care if they suffer.

The real answer is that all the male support groups and male-only orgs were dismantled or forced to integrate by activists. Men had plenty of peer support but feminists thought it was sexist…

Examples?

I remember the book Bowling Alone, men's social support groups failed because men became less sociable nothing to do with women or activists. So much easier to sit in and watch TV rather than go out and face socialising with people.

People will never care about men because they are built to both gross you out and scare you. Women are built to look innocent and cute in the same way a child or pet does so they can beg much more successfully and generate sympathy from others. The reason for this has to do with the fact that men can have a lot more children than women can, so to nature and our primal selves their lives are no big deal. But women must be provided for at all costs. This is a perfect example of how society's toxic positivity is a massive cope and you most definitely CANNOT accomplish anything you want, you pretty much have to be born for everything you can do. In fact some people are simply better and worth more than others, plain and simple, and human instincts recognize this reality. The gnostics were so right about this world.
