I think another factor is that women can also get social services,such as housing, if they are desperate, more easily than men (I think..I can't totally verify this.) Stuff is rationed and it used to be close to impossible for single men to get welfare, housing, etc., or even married men to help support their families. And of course they were driven out of public housing by stupid rules. They don't get the help, and they then have worse situations, such as homelessness, hunger, etc. And many turn to drink and drugs, and many did anyway with sufficient resources that we can't understand why. The male is biologically weaker in some respects, and low-status males have problems that higher status males and probably most females, including myself, can not really understand. It is tragic. Think of it..they can't sometimes get work, they can't get sufficient medical and dental care without it, they can't eat properly, they can't attract women, all this leads to more anger problems, violence perhaps. It is awful.   mg
