A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Have some statistics before you start arguing with https://endhomelessness.org/resources/research-and-analysis/demographic-data-project-gender-and-individual-homelessness/
Homelessness is a symptom of poverty, but many people still suffer from poverty without being homeless.
I haven't checked super thoroughly, but the statistics you linked do not make this distinction, as far as I can tell. Maybe there is other reasons for the skew in homelessness than people being in poverty. Maybe your point still stands even after checking if there's actual correlation or not.
(Edit: I just noticed the
part of your original post, didn't consider that yet...)
Could you please spare me the maybe part and state some facts? Just maybe.. As per quote of Mr Woland from Bulgakov "that is the fact. And fact is the most stubborn things under the sun". Women get more lenient punishments for crimes, more likely are to be release on bail, more likely to be release earlier or due to the living dependents, more likely to be covered by some government social program
You yourself are stating facts without any backup, I just wanted to make it clear that I don't necessarily refute your point, but that I've got an issue with the statistics you base your point on.
Just because you state a fact, doesn't make said fact a true thing.
