[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how those nuts bring teen pregnancy rates in discussion.  Teen pregnancy rates are at a historic lows and represent a minuscule number of live births. I'm more concerned about the SAH, religious breeders who keep popping tons of kids until their uterus is at their knees. Those are the problem, not successful single moms. [/quote]

Why do these successful single women need to pop out a kid at all?  Why not be happy and childless?  Why not be happy with their career?  Why choose loser men to have children with?

[/quote]

maybe they want a kid? Maybe they don't want a or need a man telling them what to do? There are tons of reasons.[/quote]

Exactly - why are we policing women's bodies/fertility/happiness? [/quote]

No one is policing anyone. There was a single mom or moms who acted superior to married.

I am married with 3 kids. My kids are well liked and have a lot of friends. I will happily include their friends from any family background.

Dh is an amazing dad and provider. To insult him and me because we are married is ridiculous.[/quote]

I think part of your bias/baggage is asserting that someone is "acting superior" ipso facto because she is happy and successful in a life different than yours. [/quote]

Ding ding ding. This poster takes everything as a personal attack. [/quote]

Yes. I'm happily married, we're both trust funders, we make a great income and I DNGAF about what other women do and I don't feel superior because I'm married or because my grandfather made a lot of money for us. It was just luck that I found a great guy in college and that I was born in the right family, not some special skill. 
I have the single friend who did IVF at 43, I have gay couple friends who adopted an infant girl addicted to opioids prior to the marriage equality law, one woman who has a kid with a rich married man and doesn't work anymore. I'm not superior to any of them just because I have a marriage certificate. I'm European and this whole American obsession with marriage is a relic from the 50s. It's just a sham so that the SAHMs can collect social security.

I’m pp. a pp single mom was boasting that she earned 300k and she didn’t have to deal with a husband.

I don’t think her position is enviable. That is all.[/quote]

But it works for her. She doesn't make decisions based on what would create envy in others. Doing things to please others or make others envy you just shows that one is insecure and needs external validation. Weak people, basically. [/quote]
