This is a strange juxtaposition. Are the women in universities making men homeless? Why are the two sides contrasted with each other when there's seemingly barely any relation between the two? How is this any different than something like "it's kinda shocking to see so many single moms barely making ends meet, then silicon valley filled with tech bro programmers"?
It doesn't imply any causality or relationship.
So you'd be fine with the above statement about single moms and tech bros?
Realism, to be frank. Even a single mom has better odds statistically to find a partner than 90% of males. That's why there's not anywhere near as many homeless males than females.
Women still have a cultural option to retreat to the role of a housepartner. Very few men have that option.
This doesn't make sense. The ratio of men to women is roughly equal (there's slightly more men at younger ages, but they tend to die younger so after middle age there's slightly more women). The odds for either sex should be roughly similar, though it could differ more based on geography since sex distribution is not geographically equal (rural areas tend to have more men, as women tend to leave for the cities more).
Either way, when you have some portion of the 18-24 women dating men in the 25-34 demographic, that skews the portions for 18-24 men. Men who obviously can't date down and are much less likely to date up.
As another bit of trivia (but not likely to change major statistics), women are slightly more likely to be gay than men.
>Sixty-seven percent of all people experiencing homelessness within the 2018 Point-in-Time (PiT) Count are individuals. There are 260,284 men compared to 106,119 women. Thus, men are the majority of individuals experiencing homelessness (70 percent) followed by women (29 percent).

From what I see, there is no state that skews so far that women are even close to a majority. The worst cases still almost have a supermajority of homeless men.
To be clear, I think those are all real problems, all hard to solve, and we should be doing a lot better at them. I just don’t think gender _explains_ homelessness as much as it correlates with some of the root causes.
