My Life in Ongoing Extreme Danger: Socks, Not Protection

I. The Economics of Enslavement

I am a witness to a $100 billion intellectual property theft, and I am currently in ongoing, extreme, life-threatening danger. But the reason I am standing on a street corner instead of in a secure facility is simple: All men benefit from the economics of female enslavement and the violence that enforces it.

The system does not want to "solve" my homelessness because my exposure serves a purpose. When a woman is unhoused, she is stripped of her "castle doctrine"—the right to a locked door. This creates a permanent class of vulnerable women who can be tracked, traded, and terrorized. The $100 billion theft I witnessed and was exploited by is just one layer of a global economy built on the exploitation of those the law refuses to protect.

II. The San Rafael Dead-End: The Fraud of Ritter House

The police and their "hot-group" teams directed me to the Ritter House in San Rafael. They promised "case management." They lied.

My investigation proved that Ritter House’s "management" is a hollow shell. They give ten names a month to a single shelter they don’t even manage. I emailed the official in San Rafael whose title is "Ending Homelessness" to expose this fraud. I sent several emails. He never responded.

Why would he? He is part of the demographic that benefits from the status quo. These organizations receive massive taxpayer funding—money I paid—to "manage" the crisis, not to end it. If they actually gave me a secure, locked door, they would lose their justification for their salaries.

III. The Weaponization of Gaslighting

When I demanded physical safety, they offered me therapy.

"The crux of the problem is not in me. It is not my mind. It is not my mental health. It is that there is no safety for me."

Offering therapy to a woman being hunted is the ultimate gaslight. It is a tactical move to pathologize the witness. By labeling my reaction to life-threatening danger as a "mental health issue," they protect the perpetrators. They want to treat the victim’s mind so they never have to arrest the men with the guns.

IV. The Hotel Trap: A Directory for Predators

The hotel industry is a primary enforcer of this enslavement. Even when a room is paid for, laws in every state allow hotels to require a second credit card from the guest.

This is not a "fraud prevention" policy; it is a barrier to safety. It ensures that a woman in danger cannot disappear. Furthermore, trafficking organizations do not help women; they track them. Anyone can put their card for anyone else on the hotel list, turning a place of "refuge" into a directory for predators. The system is designed to be porous so that the violence that enforces female enslavement can reach us anywhere.

V. The Ultimate Insult: Socks

After I exposed their fake case management, their silent officials, and their gaslighting therapy, the system finally offered me its version of "protection": Socks.

Socks are the "participation trophy" of a state that benefits from your peril. They give you socks so they can claim "outreach" on a grant application while leaving you to die in the cold. It is a visual representation of how little the patriarchy values the taxpayers who fund it.

VI. The Legislative Mandate: Equal Representation

The reason this system is a predator’s playground is that it was built by and for men. All men benefit from the violence that keeps women "in their place"—which, for many, is the street.

The Demands:

• Equal Representation: We demand 50/50 representation of women in government immediately. We need lawmakers who understand that a locked door is a human right, not a luxury.
• Abolish the Hotel Credit Card Trap: We want laws in every state abolishing the practice of hotels requiring a second credit card from the guest immediately. If the room is paid, the woman is safe.
• Audit the "Homelessness Industry": We demand an investigation into organizations like Ritter House that lie about the services they provide while pocketing taxpayer dollars.

I am a taxpayer. I am a witness. I am in danger because the system is designed to keep me there. I don’t want your socks. I want the power to ensure no woman is ever "managed" into a grave.
