I cant decide if the reasons there are so few homeless women compared to men is because men are sexual predators and take advantage of women in that situation and "help" in exchange for sex. Or if the world just cares more about the safety of women than men.... I am leaning more towards the former thant he latter here but I suspect it is a bit of both.
Huh? Thats random... So if you dont think its because of those two factors, please, show us your superior resoning skills and instead of wasting everyones time you tell us what the reason is.
making a blanket statement about "men" like that, without also considering that women are sexual predators, and emotional, social and economic predators,
relegates you to cattle car of babbling second rate minds
Ok and you still didnt explain away the statistical anomaly then. So waiting for that towering intellect to kick in for ya still.
since your real point was to label "men" as sexual predators and not discuss homelessness
I doubt there is much point
No that wasnt my point, if it was i wouldnt have mentioned a counter point to it and said that I thought it was equally part of the problem.
Sorry I see im dealing with a dunning-kruger case on intellect goes. You can carry on now i lost interest in your opinion.
Thanks for reaching out, bye.
have a nice life,
or at least, a life
Thanks, bye.
@freemo Do you know how that changes across age, cities/small towns, and immigration status? (I can't easily find anything that would give me those answers for Switzerland, but the general tendency seems to also be true: ~4/5ths are men.)
@robryk Not in great detail. I am largely basing this post on what I have observed.
@freemo a considerable number are veterans with PTSD - accounts for some of the difference. There may also be a difference in the ability of women to help each other when mental health crashes.
@DaveFernig Both fair points, esp. the veteran one.
@freemo the veteran makes me double angry. Double over the knowledge that when we invested in people 14 + years ago in the Uk there were a rarity, now 1000s even in middle sized cities.
@DaveFernig I dont have any more sympathy for a veteran than I do any other homeless person. Suffering is suffering to me and equally worth addressing.
But there is somthing to be said for the government abusing these people and throwing them aside. As a citizen we are somewhat responsible for our government and that makes us more individually liable in a sense for voting people in that would treat people that way.
@freemo absolutely- it is on the citizen, too many close their eyes as they step over the body huddled on the pavement and refuse to acknowledge the fact that that person is as much a human as anyone else.
@DaveFernig Yup, agreed... but in the case of veterans the problem started from before they ever made it to homeless status. The military often is what made them that way.
@freemo I think that as a man, there's more you generally need to do to keep yourself from being homeless. You have to hold a job, pay bills, etc.
If you're a woman, if you're single yes you'd still need to do these things, but there's also an expectation, even today, to enter a heteronormative relationship with a man, where he provides for the woman and she doesn't have to work if she doesn't want to. If she doesn't want to be married or live with someone, she could still sleep around with various men from night to night and always have a place to sleep.
All that said, with the current rates of virginity, relationships and marriages among my age range, I'd expect way more homeless women in society if we don't get our act together.
@realcaseyrollins I think this legitimately plays a factor... in short its probably easier for a woman to find someone who will financially support them than a man would.
I think this goes beyond just marriage and that sort of arrangement. Even in the case of sugar-daddys or onlyFans I think women have a distinct advantage for low-skill high-paid arrangements.
@freemo
with reasoning ability like yours
I doubt if anyone will choose you as a mentor,
or, if they do, that they will turn out well
