Was the "yes" was in response to this question?: Or is your beef not with this article, but the way people refer to single mothers who didn't attain that status in a socially acceptable way for you?

Do you walk to work, or carry your lunch?

I'm sure this is clever, but I have no idea what you are talking about.

No, I'm not judging the person in the article whatsoever, and I don't assign my personal preference any more weight than anyone else's opinion.

The concept, IMHO, that I don't particularly care for is lumping divorcees, widows, and un-wed mothers into one category called "single mothers" to hide the reality of their circumstance for "preventing stigmatization".

You can only be stigmatized by your own actions in these cases, so having your "feelings hurt" is a non-issue to me.
