Are you comparing lower income women's lives--and since you used the word 'welfare', we all know you're talking about women, who make up the majority of welfare clients; women, whose choices and lives are limited by poverty and the difficulties raising children alone, without spousal support; poor urban women, a population that is statistically more likely to be battered by their male partner--to a fucking challenge using the word shack?


The White Knighting syndrome enforcing language policing in the name of disability rights is bad enough-and I'm sick of hearing how if you're disabled and disagree with it you're a self-loathing disabled person, now it's all over the place for just about anything. I won't pretend I'm surprised by this kind of bullshit, dogpiling is already considered oppressive in some circles, but you have my sympathies.
