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.
Actually if you take away all the arguments aganist my point, then ipso facto I am facto ipso.
I thought all the data shows the likelihood for poverty increases big time with single parents. Not all of course but just doing the numbers game
Yeah but she's saying outside of that the data is closer. So she's saying ignore the data that disproves her
