Also, it's worth noting that where I live, most of the homeless shelters and sanctuaries won't even offer support to adult males unless they have a family even if said man was in a life or death situation and needed help ASAP.
I don't want to sound sexist, but I think women have it too easy in today's society. If you're a woman in need of help, people will come flocking to aid you, but if you're a man, good luck getting anybody to give a damn.

You're joking, right? Or perhaps you don't live where I live. Without going into great detail, I have personally experienced a woman being arrested for SCRATCHING a man who was a chronically abusive, sick individual, a tweeker who charmed and lied through his teeth to the cops. In California there is zero tolerance for domestic violence and women are held every bit as responsible for that as men are - except that when you get male cops involved they often take the side of the man, in my experience.
No, I cannot agree with this post. I recognize that there is violence toward men but the fact remains: Statistically, women are subjected to far more violence than men are.
