It's heartless, but we were better off as a society when an unwed mother was a social stigma. And an unwed father?


I believe the correct term is playa.

SIngle Moms also include divorced women with kids, I assume, of which they are many. I would not lump them in with a women who had a kid out of wedlock.

Correct. Blanket judgment of an entire population of single mothers is a sign of low intelligence.

For the same reason that people treat Drug Addicts/Alcoholics like heroes when they stop doing drugs & drinking.
I mean, congrats on no longer doing something that you were stupid to be doing in the first place, I guess.

Single moms get to celebrate a second Mother’s Day on Father’s Day.

This is the unfortunate result of when people ignore customs, traditions, mores, and religious doctrines. These items existed for a good reason, one was not to have single parents. The Family Unit is the foundation of Civilization.


This. Children need a father’s guidance and discipline, and a mothers love and nurturing

I don't know what the general consensus is ( and I really don't GAS), but that's not who I think of when I hear "single" moms".

Most divorced women receive financial and parenting support from the father, so they aren't "single moms", IMO.

I wouldn’t agree that this is the only way a single mom should be a “hero”. Lots of women are whores. But I’m sure there are many that had husbands become pieces of shite and/or abusive.

Blanket statements aren’t great.

Some truly are. But so are some married moms. And dads. Ultimately I don’t like hero status for people fulfilling their duties though. Takes more. Like people who have special needs kids and people who adopt same. Or an abused mother who got away and protected her kids and sacrifices everything to give them a good secure childhood.

She's single for a reason. Either her old man is dead, or they both got sick of each other. There is no in between

I'm fine with the praise many single parents get but we aren't special by any means.
