I didn’t imply it’s all men’s fault. I implied that single motherhood happens for a few reasons. “I don’t love you anymore” is a perfectly valid reason for divorce, and the more suitable parent should get custody, whether mother or father (I was raised by a single father).

Your position is that women need men. You seem to want to feel necessary. I’m sorry. Many women do just fine without men. Not everyone needs more money or to win the money game—they’re good with just enough. And women not earning the same as men doesn’t mean they need men to partner with; it means they need equal pay and equal opportunities.

Thanks for the conversation.
