Poverty is gendered, but it is not female gender. If you walk any major US city in the evening, you can clearly see what gender it actually is.

Homelessness is not the only form of poverty. I would argue that long-term homelessness is only a small slice of the pie.

Furthermore, women are probably more likely to get an offer (and accept an offer) for welfare assistance than men. Parents with children are probably far more likely to receive assistance than individuals.

>more likely for welfare assistance than men

I don't see how it cancels my argument other than highlighting even bigger wealth distribution imbalance in favor of women.
