Excuse me but I thought women today have said what they do with their bodies is their own business...so these single mothers don't really need a man, right? If a woman chooses to have sex and not be responsible to use birth control and then gets pregnant, she needs to take full responsibility. That's what being an independent modern woman is all about, isn't it? You can't have it both ways. Double standard as usual.

What has that got to do with preferring to have a mate preferable the biological parent of your child present and supportive in parenting?
Women do take full responsibility. That is why they are raising their children as single mothers.
You are assuming all women were not taking BC or did not want children. More often women are in a relationship, the child is wanted then the father bounces. And please dont start with the dont have sex if you dont want a baby with Mr. always going to be perfect.

So much desperation it seems among many of these women as profiled in the article, that they will fall in love with any guy who they know deep down is just looking for a place to stay until they find something better.

Sadly, many of the men will work off the books so the government will pay for the baby until adulthood because these women with lots of emotional baggage and superficially low on the totem poll thought they were such a dream that the men would fall in love and stay with them for several decades, when there are so many women competing for the one macho man.

They should know that the men are just sweet taking them until a women higher up in the looks department comes along. With so many women competing for so few of the macho men these days, the women should know that they are just the lady of the week or month.

I am wondering what does she thinks is beneficial about having a baby when she Chron's disease to the extent that she can't work.

Guys in their 20s and 30s have unlimited selection of women, especially the tough guys. These women might think it's a relationship but the men are just looking for a woman with a section 8 voucher to stay with and a relationship until they find a more attractive woman.

I believe in aggressive enforcement of child support payments to the custodial parent but many of these women just make no sense.

With so many men in jail, prison, moved away for jobs in construction and manfacturing, gaming in the basement these days there is a huge surplus of inner-city women.

Do you have any idea how many women are raising children alone because the fathers, whether they were married or not, choose not to be present, involved parents in their children's life. Those numbers are much greater than the women who choose to have a child knowing there will never be paternal involvement.
Technically mothers dont need a man nor do fathers need a woman to raise their children. But most people would prefer to have a present, loving, active and supportive father/mother for their children.

I know that many children repeat the mistakes of the parents. It is one thing if the mother was once married and then a divorce happened. However, in large number of case, there was never a marriage. Alot of the children being born weren't even planned. Said women might hope that the father sticks around, but in alot of cases, the man isn't up to the job in the first place. Getting with a man who doesn't have his act together in the first place is a bad idea. I'm saying one needs to be far more careful about who they deal with on a romantic level. It isn't so much that said women know that paternal involvement will never be there. Rather, there needs to be more discernment. The very minute that man gets out of line or is showing signs of being a bad man, assume said man will never be father material and leave. In the inner cities, the men who get female attention the most are the hood rat types. My point is that in many cases, both parties are at fault. The man is no good, but there are many women who aren't making responsible decisions either.
