mg, there are many homeless women and girls too. Take a look at any town square where the homeless hang out.

I have a question: Is it accepted that "men are biologically weaker in some respects"? Biologically?

I agree that it may be easier for women to get assistance with housing - but often that is because, by and large, it is the women who find themselves as single parents.

It may also be true that women are quicker to ask for help. I know a man who says there is no way he would take his kids to a breadline. I haven't asked him if he'd rather see his kids go hungry.

My notion is that women tend to be more realistic, that women accept that things can get tough- but that bending to that reality is not a permanent condition.
