>Most poor people in the US are women and their children. What a strange statement. This would be true if, for example, poor people were 33% men, 33% women, and 33% children. It would also be true that "most poor people in the US are men and their children." Did you mean to say something specific about single mothers and the children who live with them? Or was the phrasing an attempt to import that image while saying something much less meaningful? Here's something that is specific and true: The vast majority of homeless in America are men. There are many, many centers set up to help women and children in poverty exclusively, while resources just for men are rare-to-nonexistent. Extreme poverty is massively gendered against men, and the resources to address it are massively gendered towards helping women.
