  So come on women?  Speak up?  If you can vote on a poll then you can speak your mind.... Let me tell you my story.

  Im a physical abuse victim.  My partner beat me and was jealous of my income.  I tried to meet half way and he got nasty.  So he hit a phone across my head while my kids were present in the room.  Ever since I have seen single parenting as different.

  No story is the same and not every one is like this.... but how can we class single parents as trash because we dont know their circumstance?

• From the looks of it it has more to do with intimidation with anything else.  Women find it intimidating that other women can live without male monumental support.  Women do not need men in order to raise a household.  What is intimidating is that men or women are needed as partners to level out the work stress.  If there is no partner dont fuckin take your shit out on me (and no heather that is not aimed at you).

  You know it's funny that some are calling them lesser, they do more work and sacrafice more than nearly any married or attached mother, so how can they be less? 

  Makes no sense to me.

  Ok ladies.  For the 13% you just said that single mothers are trash... why is that so?  Why are single mothers less than you?  And this is not an attack.  Its a general question and please ladies dont jump on the opposition until we hear it. At least.

• Well as you can see by the poll it seems to speak otherwise.

  I am going to be a single mom in a few weeks.  I am single by choice.  I am educated, self-sufficient, own my own house, have great friends, great family, a lot of faith, a desire to reach out to others in need, I love my baby, and nothing is more important to me than being the best mother I can!  If that makes me "trash" then so be it!

• Why in the world would anyone think that? There are trashy PEOPLE who become single mom's, but they aren't trashy for being a single mom. I was a single mom for the longest time and I don't think that I'm trash.

  No. I have a lot of respect for single mothers. It's hard.

•  i have been a single mom of two boys for 12 years. i was married, and left him because of domestic violence. i work and always have, and hes supported the boys at his convenience.

  my husband was hispanic, and somehow one of my kids looks completely hispanic and the other completely white. i cant tell you how amny times its been assumed my kids are from multiple fathers and that ive not been married.

  i am nowhere near trash, but i just wanna ask, why is it that a line forms to suck a single custodial fathers cock but us single moms are trash? sure, everyone "knows some poor dude whos babys mom is trash" but how many responsible single moms do you know? "oh but they chose to have kids w a loser" well what did the aforementioned superdads do? hmmmm?

• I hate it with a passion---When your single living alone trying to just work and mind your own business and then find out everybody is saying you are a whore or a prostitute! In little towns they do this! Oh if your a man "your such the stud!" If a man has alot of sex, he is the stud, if your a woman and date "your the whore!" I was married twice and divorced, single untill i was 29 and the talk of the town, every town! Living in the city you don't have to put up with it! The thing of it is, they ruin your reputation where no body will ask you out and you have weirdos coming to your door all the time! The police won't even help you when you need help and god forbid if you get broke in and raped they say you ask for it!!!!!! I tried the roommate thing and they never worked out and then when i got a guy for a roommate,he fell in love with me and gave me hell and you cant' get them out cause the police thinks you had sex with them and theres commonlaw marriage laws and they say you have to file for a divorce!!!! I lived in fear all the time!!!!!!!!! Then i get married and of course he ask "how many men have you slept with?" If you tell the truth they get mad so you have to lie and then they lie about it and you knowing better!!!!! I was his second at age 35, yea right? Why people do this? I do not know, but it is wrong and i hope they rot in hell!!!!!!!
