[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Single mom here. I take offense to your statement that a single mom can’t afford Arlington without a husband. What a sexist statement. I can afford a house in Arlington just fine and so can many others. [/quote]

Check your privilege.   Now what about the 61 others who are on a waiting list for affordable housing in Arlington.  [/quote]

Why should I “check my privilege?” Single
Moms are not some homogenous group. We come in all shapes, colors, education levels and socio economic backgrounds. You assume that we are all poor and unable to provide for our families lest we have husbands. You perpetuate a stereotype that women are incapable of anything without husbands. You assume that if we had husbands we would not need help. Wow, go husbands.  I didn’t see any call for helping all the “single dads.” No, you basically try it shut down someone who disagrees with you by telling me to “check my privilege?”  I am very happy for my so-called “privilege.” Sorry for working to be independent, educated and fully capable of supporting my children without help from the government and a deadbeat now ex-husband. My goodness, stop belittling women. [/quote]
