Men’s sheds are community-based, non-commercial organisations that are open to all men. Men’s sheds improve the health and wellbeing of their members by giving them a safe place to make friends, share meaningful activities, talk, and access health information and resources. https://www.health.gov.au/our-work/mens-sheds
Interesting. Never heard of it. Seems overly complicated to make it gender based. But I like the idea.
I like the idea of a Random Folks shed lol
from what I understand some men feel very uncomfortable around non-family women, and don’t have a third place that doesn’t involve alcohol.
It does seem to add a layer of complication, but perhaps that’s the point.
yeah i can understand that. I think every group of people can feel uncomfortable around another group of people. my general stance is to let everyone create the community that they feel comfortable with. although I think that stance can be used in the wrong way, and is used to perpetrate patriarchy and toxic culture. its complicated.
