I think they need to separate the men from the women to different shelters... this coed thing is asking for trouble as well as traumatizing a whole generation of children.
They would have gotten guff, but YES, at the entrance to the Super Dome four days ago, they should have anticipated what kinds of (some) of the people they would be hoarding in there in close quarters, and at the entrances, told female to go to one side, and male to the other. That would have split families up, though, and I doubt many would volunteer to cooperate. Now the result, though, is rapes in broad daylight right before peoples' eyes it seems.
Whatever happened to women and children first?
Oh, I remember: equal rights for women.
In the Homestead Tent City following Hurricane Andrew, there were two families per tent, or all women in one tent, all men in another. That was the official designation, anyway.
