Let’s put the issue of “women’s empowerment” in some perspective, and along with it, the issue of single mothers.
If you are a woman, no matter where you are, you are sitting on a chair that was most likely designed and built by men. Men drew the design, chopped the wood, transported the lumber and fabric and so on, and they built it in a factory that was also designed and built by men, and owned by them. They use machinery crafted by men, and men taught them how to do it. You are currently in a building that was probably designed by a male architect, and constructed by men. Men mixed the concrete and laid the bricks.
You walk every day on roads that were laid by men, along routes that men determined were the most efficient. You ride or drive in cars that men invented, designed, improved, and built, fueled by petrol that men extracted from the earth and refined using, again, technology that they developed.
You eat the food that men planted and cultivated, and transported to shops other men own and operate.
You are able to read this because men built schools and developed curriculums; and, of course, because men created the technology of computers and the internet.
Essentially, every single aspect of life as you know it is the product of the work of men. And these men, generation after generation, did all of this work basically to provide for their families and to build a society that their wives and children could enjoy and flourish in. In the absence of this motive, most men would be content to still be riding around the wilderness on horseback and hunting for their daily food. But we want women to be comfortable and we want better lives for our children.
If you begin to normalize single motherhood, you are initiating the decay of society
