Part 3/10:
Homelessness adds another layer to the conversation about the disposability of men. Statistics reveal that 21 out of every 10,000 American men are homeless, compared to just 8 out of 10,000 women. Surprisingly, homeless men are often overlooked when it comes to available resources and support systems. While services for women and children are prioritized, men are frequently left to fend for themselves, facing the cold and the stigma of their circumstances.
This societal neglect is compounded by how homelessness is perceived. While public empathy tends to lean towards women and children as victims of circumstance, men are often seen as responsible for their predicaments. This narrative of self-fault can lead to devastating consequences, denying them much-needed compassion or assistance.
