So often you hear a woman introduce herself by stating she's a single mother, as if that defines her existence. Are you looking for an award or a medal? Are you trying to play the victim card? Are you trying to state that even though you have a kid you're single? What are you trying to achieve by saying that? Thing is, most people respond with something some sort of comments of adulation, which I do not understand.
I have vastly more respect for single parents that don't use being a single parent as a crutch or a method for attention grabbing.
Edit: Some of my replies to comments are getting buried, so I'll clarify a few things:
Obviously I'm not talking about widows, etc. I'm talking about those women that made poor life choices and then attempt to virtue signal, especially on social media.
Poor life choices include not using at least two methods of birth control during sex. If birth control is not your priority, you should not be having sex.
If you do create a child, it is your duty to raise them, whether alone or with someone else. You don't deserve a medal for it.
Edit 2: Wow! Thank you for the silver and gold!

Huh tell me about it, I have been ridiculed and humiliated for stating that I won't ever date single moms and help raise their kids. I ditched several "friends" and had to change jobs because of the frequent abuse. There were even guys who threatened to punch my mouth shut (maybe their mom was a single parent?)
I guess society singles you out as a beta provider from the very beginning and would do it's best to bully you into taking on that role.
Nowadays I just lie to my co-workers and say that I pay child support, but I can't see the kid very often and it works wonders. People back off immediately as they want a guy who has money to spare and not someone already locked down.
I used to be a kind and helpful person, but the way I got treated both on Reddit (outside the manosphere) and in real life has made me into an unkind, selfish, bitter, reserved guy who will only do something if I'm paid to do so and no amount of shaming is going to make me budge.
Fuck you single moms and all you assholes who tried to push me into the beta male role.
Big thanks to this sub and the other manosphere subs who keep me going. When I see that other men had to put up with the same shit that I had to, life is much better.

Thank you for saying. I am the same way. I played by the standards drilled into me by society (be nice, help others, don’t cause a scene). They hated me for it. Meanwhile my idiot brother is a complete degenerate and everyone loves him. Very soon our society will be asking where the good men went- meaning our tax dollars.

It seems Single Mothers and their acolytes are incapable of an intelligent and cogent response to that very basic question.
I posted this to another comment on this forum, but it's appropriate for your response as well.
Here's something else NO ONE is telling young men - the concept of "paternity by estoppel" for playing Stepfather to some other guy's kid(s). This IS a thing and judges are forcing men with NO BIOLOGICAL link to a child to pay court-ordered child support.
The state and federal governments are sick of picking up the tab and they need suckers to pay the bill. Here's a tip - cohabitation isn't a requirement. It's as simple as spending time with someone else's kid.

Basically if you take on a parental role you can be stuck. That would almost be tolerable but get this. You can be forced to pay for a kid who is not yours AND be denied visitation or have visitation severely restricted with that kid. Guess what is not restricted? (Hint: starts with $$$$).
Can you imagine a more perfect combination of evil? It's not your kid but you have to pay because it is legally your kid but you have no parental or moral authority because it's not your kid. How could you not go full psycho in that all to common scenario?

This cannot be overstated. All they have to do is put the kid on the stand and ask “do you see that man sitting over there as your daddy?” The lawyers have already coached the kid to say yes, and when they do, you’re fucked.

I'm indifferent to women, modern society, government, etc., and I strive for invisibility in my daily life outside of work (given my work, it's expected to "dress for success", and it makes a real, tangible difference unfortunately).
I dress down, below my means, since I live at the beach: beach bum attire is standard, swim trunks, cargo shorts/pants, t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, old, comfortable water shoes, clean but unkempt hair, 5 o'clock shadow, no outward signs of wealth or status, no watch, my phone is cheap, old, cracked screen. I usually pay for drinks and bar food with cash, small bills $20 and under, and loose change which makes me look like I don't have money.
When I go to bars here there are usually many women of all ages, especially during the tourist season, and since I'm tall, fit, thin, blonde/grey, I do get some attention but it usually fades fast. All part of my invisibility. If that doesn't work, I mention I'm a Sadist (I am), and that ends the conversation.
edit: many younger women (under 30), don't know what that means, the look on their face when I start telling them is priceless.

Thanks, and great quote!
There's more to de Sade's philosophy however it's overshadowed by the more prominent aspects commonly known as "sadism", and rightly so. While I'm interested in many philosophies, de Sade's is one of many, but near the top of my list. Yes, I consider myself a Sadist, though my study is far from complete. I see it as a fourth part or addition to the Dark Triad which I also espouse.

There is a cuckification of society going on, but it is a futile effort in the long run. There is a big difference between men and women. Whereas women instinctively always succumb to social pressures, men say no after a while. So however much the PC crowd is pushing to normalize single motherhood, it will ultimately fail.
[–]ChiTownBobAnalyze this finger bitch!26 points27 points28 points (3 children) | Copy Link
The PC crowd worships the government as if it is a god - to them it is a god.
Keep that in mind for my comment.
Single mothers need money. If they attempt to work, they have to leave the kid behind in day care meaning that they are broke. That means their incomes are low, so they depend on the government. Some don't bother to work becoming welfare collectors. This means more government spending on social programs.
Single moms tend to let their kids run wild. Single moms have little to no self-discipline of their own, and they can't teach their kids self-discipline. The thuglets become thugs and criminals. Crime rate rises, we need more police, and that means more government spending.
More government spending means higher taxes. They don't just raise taxes enough to fund these needs, they also raise extra taxes every time to enrich cronies. Government then gets bigger than it should.
The PC crowd gets happy because their god gets bigger and greater. That's the reason they push single motherhood.
[–]BewareTheOldManEndorsed11 points12 points13 points (2 children) | Copy Link
You said a lot - all great talking points...some of the better ones being how Single Motherhood contributes to the welfare mind state, undisciplined thuglets to full blown thugs, increased crime rate, higher taxes, etc.
If the PC Crowd is getting happier because of all of this...is anyone asking these folks how this helps America, or any country for that matter?
That's the multi-million dollar question because the numbers are in and the results are very unflattering.
We now have over 40 years of research, studies, empirical data, lots of evidence, and plain old common sense that rules out Single Mothers as capable of producing outstanding adults.
I'll also add that EXCEPTIONS don't count - exceptions are NOT the norm.

Poor life choices including spreading one's legs to anyone who is not dedicated 100% to you - this means Matrimony as an ideal. Promiscuity leads to less pair bonding which leads to more poor life choices in men.
Or give the kid up for adoption. But that won't happen because of "poor life choices"
I think someone who gets knocked up and realizes their mistake for doing so, should give the kid up for adoption and then take advantage of that second chance in life to become a better person.

Single motherhood is no longer a statistical anomaly but becoming the norm. Women are the sexual selectors, so for anyone to say it’s the mans fault is ludicrous. Personally I blame the man as well for not raising their offspring but in as much as they are already a piece of shit that the woman selected the vast majority of blame lies with women on this front. The majority of birth control is also female oriented. There is 0 excuse to have an unwanted pregnancy. Yet we as a society enable this behavior and financially invest in it. It’s sickening and something that whole heartedly needs to be shamed at a societal level, discouraged at a government level and brought back to a statistical anomaly.

I like the notion of turning the "feminist" comments on their head and can agree with you to an extent. There are many steps before you even get to a level where a pregnancy is occurring that the woman can stop it. The problem here is "her" problem and "her" choice has become the government's responsibility and we end up paying for it through taxes. I'd rather not pay more taxes because of these mistakes.

Part of the "glorification" is where they treat "single mothers" "divorced mothers" and "widowed mothers" as if they are all in the same situation, the same kind of woman, and same history. They're not.
A widowed mother has the best story. It was not her fault the marriage ended, in fact, it was a tragedy that caused it. She loved her husband, and is sad for the loss. She is more likely to value a husband because she valued her dead husband.
A divorced mother is not a good story. It could be her fault the marriage ended, she is likely not to admit to it. The story behind the divorce is not going to be fully known. So at the least she's hiding something. She's not likely to value her new husband because she clearly did not value her old one.
A single mother is not a good story either. She's not likely to value her new husband because she didn't need one to get all the fun and benefits of marriage (i.e. shacking up, sex, etc.) but none of the responsibilities. She's not likely to value her new husband because she never had one but would rather have the fiction of marriage (i.e. "commitment") versus a paper marriage or sacrament.

The glorification starts at the top, where media, celebrities, and political figures sing their praises as it gets them brownie points for standing up for all the single mothers. Single mothers who gosh darn it, just could not help but get caught where they were. And like clockwork, the single mothers and their sympathizers return the favor by giving them the power they crave, in votes and in vocal support.
Make no mistake, the single mother hero worship is a terrible thing, as in reality, single mothers are a liability. The exact opposite of heroes. It is not surprising to know that historically, single mothers were not championed, and without tax dollars supporting them, that attitude would make its return quite quickly in society.

[–]brazil84 1 points [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link
Despite what feminists say, actual wife beating is pretty unusual. What's not unusual is for women to lie about relationship problems in order to put themselves in a more sympathetic light. As far as cheating goes, society needs to accept that male marital infidelity is much less destructive than female marital infidelity.
Anyway, it's dishonest to use rare exceptions as a way to distract from generalizations. Generally speaking, single moms suck and should not be glorified. There are a few widows and such out there who are truly blameless -- glorify them all you like.

[–]BewareTheOldManEndorsed6 points7 points8 points (5 children) | Copy Link
Men who have strong tendency to cheat, beat their wives, or show themselves as bad picks for husbands demonstrate very early in the relationship and make their behavior well known...at least to the women considering marriage.
It’s difficult to fake or cover up asshole personality and abusive tendencies in male-female interpersonal relationships. Family and friends may not be aware, but individual women know intimate details on the man they consider for marriage.
Most married men will NOT cheat because of the penalties associated with divorce unless he either doesn’t have much to lose or he just doesn’t care in the first place.
Again - in most cases, women are fully aware a man is a wife-beater before marriage. Men get worse in this area AFTER marriage. It's becoming common knowledge among men because this is one of the topics of discussion in my regular circles...along with a host of other stupid life-decisions women make when it comes to selecting a life-mate.
Single Motherhood is a problem irrespective of race. The unwed mother/out of wedlock birth-rate hovers around 40 percent (USA).
In short - most women are eliminating themselves from consideration for dating and marriage based on Single Motherhood. Divorced women with kids increase those numbers.
Smart men don’t care...divorced or never-married - the issues are the same across the board for BOTH groups of women.
Ask yourself this serious question - how does it benefit men to date and marry Single Mothers when never-married and childless women are a much better option?

[–]brazil84 1 points [recovered] (4 children) | Copy Link
I agree to a large extent. Even though the stereotype is that men are the cheaters, it's worth keeping in mind that (1) husbands have much less opportunity to cheat than wives; and (2) women are much more likely to lie about this kind of thing when asked questions on anonymous surveys. When men cheat on their wives, they are usually able to admit it to themselves and others, at least after the fact. When women cheat on their husbands, they normally rationalize it and convince themselves that they weren't actually cheating.
That said, I do think that husbands are prone to unanticipated marital infidelity if, during the course of the marriage, they undergo a substantial increase in SMV, e.g. they become very successful in business or work. But in that case, the wife is not going to be one of those desperate single moms looking for a bailout. On the contrary, she's going to get paid very very nicely.
[–]BewareTheOldManEndorsed0 points1 point2 points (3 children) | Copy Link
You're right - men are prone to "unanticipated marital infidelity."
Assuming the marriage is going very nicely men are less likely to cheat, but more importantly and less likely based on the penalties for divorce:
-alimony, child support, child support increases based on pay raises, reduced access and less direct influence to his children (if any)...which is actually the most important of all the penalties for infidelity, loss of over half or most of assets and savings, and expensive attorney fees.
That's just some of the possible outcomes from infidelity. Although no-fault is a thing now, no-fault divorce is rarely a factor in women's infidelity. In fact - most women make out pretty well for the first few years after divorce...at least until reality set in from the post-divorce high.
[–]brazil84 1 points [recovered] (2 children) | Copy Link
Well I think what happens in a lot of situations is that the man experiences a modest increase in his SMV between, say, ages 25 and 45. Because if he stays in shape, his looks have deteriorated by perhaps 1 point but if he's become successful, his wealth and social status have increased his SMV by 2 or 3 points. So suddenly he's getting attention from young women that he didn't really receive before. Meanwhile, his wife has had children hit the wall and her SMV has dropped by 3 or so points. So if they were both 6/10 when they got married, he's now a a 7 or 8 and she's a 3 or 4.
At that point, the man's genes are screaming at him to get with some hot 20-something chick.
[–]BewareTheOldManEndorsed0 points1 point2 points (1 child) | Copy Link
