Sad thing is that men have for a long time, if for all time, been the leading number of homeless. This story will change nothing, in reality it's a case of "someone who now happens to be homeless got a medal". -And that's not even uncommon as war veterans are a largely represented among the homeless.

While i dont buy the entire not working due to stress part (without more info) i think its impressive hes still doing activism and fighting while living in his car and have a great deal of respect for him because of that

Looks like his brave fight on behalf of disenfranchised men continues:

"Where are the men's shelters in this country? There's women's shelters all over the country and rightly so, but there are no men's shelters in this country. Where does a bloke go when it all hits the roof?"'
