For all the ignorant people/feminists who harp on about men being privileged. Homelessness Women – 12,000 – 4% Men – 240,000 – 96% http://www.societaldistress.org/files/HO-HAR2009.pdf I suggest you vet your sources a bit better. 3.1 Characteristics of People Using Homeless Shelters, 2009 Characteristics of All Sheltered Persons Homelessness can befall people of all genders, races and ages. A portrait of the estimated 1.6 million people who used a shelter between October 2009 and September 2010 is provided in Exhibit 3-1. In 2009, a typical sheltered homeless person had the following characteristics: Adult—78 percent of all sheltered homeless persons are adults. Male–61 percent are male. Minority—62 percent are members of a minority group. Middle-age—38 percent are 31 to 50 years old. Alone—64 percent are in one-person households. No special needs—62 percent do not have a disability. page 21 Gender of Adults. Most sheltered homeless individuals are men. In 2009, 71 percent of all sheltered individuals were adult men and only 25 percent were adult women staying alone. Assuming that most homeless persons are poor before using a shelter, the high rate of men among individuals suggests that for every 14 men living by themselves with incomes below the poverty line, 1 is likely to access a homeless shelter at some time during the year. Only 1 of every 35 women living alone in poverty access the homeless shelter system By comparison, adults who become homeless together with children are usually, but not always, women. In 2009, 79.6 percent of adults in families with children were women. Women in families with incomes below the poverty line are 2 times more likely to use a shelter than their male counterparts. Page 28 http://www.societaldistress.org/files/HO-HAR2009.pdf Ahhhh... the source for your list....? http://feck-blog.blogspot.com/2012/01/a-voice-for-men-overview.html Viewing the world through a masculist lens, striving to be egalitarian... And this is why no one is going to take you seriously. You through up links to facts that do not contain the facts you claim they have. Another example.... You stated, per your list.... quote:
Child Custody Rates Women – 11,268,000 custodial mothers Men – 2,907,000 custodial fathers http://deltabravo.net/cms/plugins/content/content.php?content.269 Bureau of the Census, showed that in 1991, there were a total of 11,268,000 total custodial mothers compared to a total of 2,907,000 custodial fathers. They also reported the following statistics about children from a fatherless home. 1991? Really? You are aware that the Census has been retaken since then, yes? An estimated 13.7 million parents had custody of 22.0 million children under 21 years of age while the other parent lived somewhere else. • About 1 in 6 custodial parents were fathers (17.8 percent). http://www.census.gov/prod/2011pubs/p60-240.pdf If you are going to scream about something, scream about the change between 1991 and 2009. I truly have to wonder just why so many children are living with mom? Could it be the rise in single motherhood? quote:

Bring something to the table that is current and accurate... maybe we can then engage in the whys.
