I do know there is a lot of correlation between gender and circumstance, but I think it's either lazy to use gender as a proxy or they really are bigoted.

What even is this opinion? You admit there is sense in what they're doing, then double down and call them lazy/bigoted anyway. There are so, so many examples out there of charities and organisations taking a small target approach to solving the world's problems. None of this is lazy or bigoted, it is about giving your time to an area you are passionate about and have the resources to address.

Parents of a child who passed away due to a rare illness are not lazy or bigoted for starting a charity that only seeks to target that specific illness. Women who start an initiative to help other women in financial difficulty secure safe housing are not lazy or bigoted for not helping men too. All of these people are using their limited time on this planet to try to make a positive difference in whatever way they can, often at their own personal expense. What have you done?
