Somewhere in this mix two things are not mentioned: There is no stigma to single motherhood anymore. For the past few generations, the need to have a father has all but disappeared in the social fabric. The queering of America has women seeing other women as partners on an equal level with a man.

There may not be such a social stigma to single motherhood anymore but for a whole helluva lot of guys...especially ones who do not have kids and who are looking for the right girl to marry, her having somebody else's kid rules her out immediately. I had no interest in raising another man's child.

So true. Single motherhood was sooo trendy when murphy brown did it.
