On the topic of the denied impact of judgment on women, The Onion presents: Single Woman With 3 Young Children Unaware She Subject Of 984 Judgments Today
…single mother Karen Nichols, 29, was reportedly completely unaware that she was the focus of 984 separate judgments by strangers this afternoon.
…she was the subject of nearly a thousand negative assumptions about her financial situation, relative parenting capabilities, and general promiscuity.
While the bulk of the humor in the piece is in the exaggeration of the judgments people make about single mothers, the satirical premise is not that she is being judged as a single mother, but that she is unaware that this is happening.
