Homeless men already face drug and alcohol abuse, mental health issues, social stigma, and, you know, homelessness, but a Canadian criminologist has identified another problem: their masculinity.
Erin Dej, a criminologist at Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario, has written a book with a chapter titled “When a Man’s Home Isn’t a Castle: Hegemonic Masculinity Among Men Experiencing Homelessness and Mental Illness.” The chapter, as one might expect, seems to blame masculinity for a range of problems faced by the male homeless community.
