Hi. This was a stupid way to bring attention to an issue, no argument there. Men are effected by homelessness more for many reasons; age of onset of mental illness, lack of resources for single men etc... on the flip side of that coin I will give you a specific example. My mom works with homeless women in the Monterey Bay Area of CA part time. Until very recently there were no shelters in that area that would take women overnight. Perhaps they had good reason but still there was a big difference in that area regarding shelter for men vs. women homeless. The group my mom works with had to go around and convince the local churches (who were providing the shelters) that there was enough of a problem that there really needed to be an option for women. They were successful in their efforts, but the biggest problem they ran in to was the perception that there were no homeless women in the area. Now their shelters hold around 40 women a night, especially when it's cold. Resources for all homeless people need to be increased as well as fixing the problems that lead to homelessness. I think this was a bad attempt at changing a perception. We need to do better.

It should be 3:1 in that case.

Why are you here? If you think there are zero issues affecting men disproportionately, then go find an egalitarian sub and enjoy that.
