I'm still here, I would say I'm "lurking" but I guess that sounds like "stalking" and I don't want to trigger any poor delicate females. That's why I'm so quiet, I don't want to shout down any women. I don't want to "take up space" (not in a fat-shaming way.)

It's a long story. You see, since the 2016 "Trumpocalypse" a lot of academics have been sending expeditions into our "flyover-land" to explore the foreign tribes that are rumored to dwell here. Namely us.

So, as long as I'm willing to stay in a small town within comfortable driving distance of an elite university, they will come and oogle me. Lots of "How quaint" and "Can I touch him?". (so to speak)

So, until I can get a job building Trumps's wall, what's a homeless veteran to do? Well, you put on your grass skirt, get your bongos, and put on a show for the tourists. So to speak (not gonna wear skirts). Mostly I just sit there and get lectured on how privileged I am to be a homeless veteran with white skin and most of a penis. In return I get food. Glorious, glorious food.

To get an idea of how it goes, here's an article about a feminist who studies (and I hope feeds) homeless men:
Ron, she said, was diagnosed with a number of mental illnesses (depression, bipolar disorder, anti-social personality disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder) ...

As a result, his physical health was a mess, and he felt vulnerable, he told her, such that where before he’d heard women say they were scared to walk at night, now, he too was scared:
…like, a little girl could have killed me. That’s how weak I was…

He had also been physically abused as a child.

Yet what Dej found most telling was that he positioned “
his sense of weakness and vulnerability in relation to women… This vulnerability is the antithesis of hegemonic masculinity…. For Ron, the feminine subjectivity acts as the ultimate exemplar of physical weakness and the most absurd hyperbole of who constitutes a threat.”

Why, she wrote, he even compared the cramps he got from his daily methadone treatment as like, uh, menstruating, almost…. Like my stomach is just, like, cramps.”

Dej leapt upon this:Using menstrual cramps, a sensation Ron has admittedly never felt, to describe the side effects of methadone treatment is telling of Ron’s felt masculinity status.”

Only a little later does she say that his identification with menstrual cramps “may be related to his recent identification as bisexual… For Ron, he has failed to live up to the basic tenets of hegemonic masculinity: physical strength, vitality and heterosexuality.
NOTE: I do NOT have cramps, I did not even know that menstrual cramps were a thing, I don't even see how it's relevant that people get cramps from wearing blackface or whatever goes on at menstrual shows. I AM NOT A HOMO, THIS ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE!)
One of the other key tenets, according to Dej, is “emotional numbness,” or what another man, Julian, described as being “’like an island’…

While it is understandable why someone facing such debilitating emotions may revel in the idea of feeling nothing, the fact that this is a way of being that all men should emulate is deeply problematic,” Dej writes.

In the time-honoured manner of academics everywhere, Dej pronounces her research important (it “fills a gap,” as she put it) and concludes that because most of the homeless are men (and white, as she also pointed out), “it is essential that interventions that seek to prevent and end homelessness take into account the complex gender dynamics at play…. With this awareness, programs can be designed and services can be provided in such a way as to mitigate the troubling ways that compensatory masculinity manifests…. and introduce men to alternative understandings of masculinity.

Yes, because that’s the one thing the homeless — who have nothing — really need.

Or, as a man I know put it: “The homeless are overwhelmingly male. As we all know, under-representation means discrimination. I for one am outraged that women are systemically denied the opportunity to be homeless.
Sometimes it's a struggle to keep my mouth shut. Once I suggested that feminists visit a prison if they really want to see ways to "introduce men to alternative understandings of masculinity.” They didn't feed me after that.
