Story here.

Most homeless people are male. How do you get people to understand that this is an example of male powerlessness? You could try with this statistic from the article (but most people will probably just shut their ears.) Excerpt:

'Between 1999 and 2005, 82 people were killed in America because of their race, ethnicity, or religious or sexual orientation, according to the FBI, which has been collecting data on hate crimes since 1990.

There were 169 homeless people murdered during that same period, the National Coalition for the Homeless says.'
