I see where AmyNation is coming from. Too often there is this gender bias of the "strength" of single mothers without acknowledging single fathers as well. I believe the acknowledgment is often misplaced, however there are those that do deserve some acknowledgment of their endurance. For example in Los Angeles urban communities there are a lot of impoverished women who've made bad life choices in mate selection. This becomes a psychological pattern and it continues over and over. My question on this matter is, when acknowledging single motherhood, are we also acknowledging the women who continue to make obvious bad choices in mate selection, despite their ability to keep their family afloat?
What I mean by 'obvious bad choices' I am referring to those women in the urban community who consciously get involved with gangsters, drug dealers, pimps, parole violators, etcetera, and for those who are color conscious, this question is cross-racial lines.
