Exactly. I have taken several night classes, and usually the professor asks each student to introduce themselves. I can’t even count the number of times that women have stood up in class and the first words out of their mouths after telling every their name is, “I am a SINGLE MOTHER!” They say it like they are Medal of Honor recipients.
Around here, 95% say, “I’m a single MOM”, but with the same tone of voice, like it’s an award of some kind.
