Nearly half of single women in the U.S.—a larger percentage than single men or married couples—supported or were actively involved in racial justice protests in 2020, according to a gender-based giving study released Tuesday, coinciding with the International Women’s Day.

Around 48.2% of single women surveyed supported racial justice causes, such as Black Lives Matter, Say Her Name, and others, compared to 40.9% for single men, and 40.3% for married/partnered couples, according to the report titled Women Give 2022: Racial Justice, Gender and Generosity by the Women’s Philanthropy Institute (WPI) at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy of Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis.

Overall, a much smaller portion of the population (14.2%) actually donated money in support of racial justice.

Compared to single men or couples, single women were also more likely to give to racial justice organizations or grassroots organizations, and to take action by donating to political candidates who supported their views on racial equity issues, according to the report.

“Despite being disproportionately impacted by the global pandemic, women of all backgrounds have contributed to racial justice movements in countless ways, from participating in marches, to financial support, to contacting elected officials to demand police accountability,” Una Osili, associate dean for research and international programs at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, said in the report.

Funded by grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, WPI releases a series of Women Give reports each year, exploring various factors that shape gender-based giving patterns. This attitude survey was conducted online among a general population sample of 2,073 households in May 2021.

The report also looked at how different racial identity groups gave differently to social justice causes. It found that Black households were significantly more likely to indicate support for the 2020 racial justice protests (69.7%)

True but the only reason the single women are doing this is they hope it will help them land a man.

Any man who could be landed by supporting “racial justice” scams is likely some loser soyboy.
