The rule in all Tucson shelters but one is "No Single Dads Allowed."

Most of this discrimination is based on a single stereotype: "Men are sexual deviants or perverts, and we should not trust our children with them; however, a women is perfectly trustworthy to take care of children, for she is not capable of pedophilia".

It disgusts me.

Further discussion elicited the information that the board of directors of the Gospel Rescue Mission perceived that children in a men's shelter would be in greater danger than children in a women's shelter.

Funny. I would assume it would be the other way around. More suspicious eyes, more people willing to rush to a child's defense. Their attitude seems to say, if a man is in a homeless shelter, its because he is a loser. If a woman is in a homeless shelter, its because she is a victim.

Wow talk about a topic I would not have thought would need to be discussed! Seems the shelters need to get up to speed with the growing number of dads having custody of their kids. Shame on them!
