In fairness, I presume her larger point is “I am not poor, therefore if the problem with single motherhood is the poverty, I am an exception.”
Of course, the real problem is accepting this premise that poverty is the only problem in the first place. Children should have male and female close role models, end of. Ideally, in the same house as them, as parents. They also benefit from having both parents in their lives simply because even the most devoted parent has finite time, and parental involvement is vitally important.
This concept of poverty as some kind of invisible monster that randomly afflicts totally innocent people is so retarded. The same behaviors that lead to single mothers and drug abuse and crime and homelessness also lead to poverty. The primary relationship between these issues is defined by correlation and comorbidity, not causation. Appeals to “muh poverty” are designed to offload accountability. Is it always the case that poverty is “your fault”? No. But poverty isn’t the end-all explanation for anti-social behavior.
Poverty is a learned behavior, you actively have to repeatedly make bad life decisions to stay poor in the US. Certain cultures make this an easy thing to do, as there are cultural pressures to live a certain way, but no one holds a gun to their heads.
A life of crime is one of those choices. So is bearing children while young and/or single, and dropping out of school.
I think the more successful they are the more the single mothers are absorbed from the realities of biology and suffering from the "cut flowers" illusion we all have, where we think this civilization is sustainable without the roots of religion or in this case the social constructs we built through tradition.

You see this now in Japan with more and more boys being raised by single mothers. The kids who grew up that way seem alright for now, and they still had Japanese society to lean on alongside their parents. What you don't see yet is what happens when a large number of those boys have become influential in culture - especially pop culture. They will gradually push the Overton window away from good culture that built their country and closer to gynocentric values that weaken society.

Exactly, it's like when they call addiction a disease, as if the person didn't choose drugs to start at some point
