Depending on which study one reads, recent statistics show that 28 - 32% of "families" or households are women living without a man.
Much has been made of this.

Primarily much has been made of this by men who question, "Who is raising the children?" As far as phd can determine, the study did not detail whether these feminine living arrangements involved children, single women, divorced women, widowed women, lesbian women or women between 21 and 30 who may be students (who never have living arrangements at all or none anyone cares to know about.)

After exhausting the discussion of The Children, subtle inferences came into play: must be kept women; must be on welfare; must be mentally ill; or ugly. In other words, Something is Wrong with Women. C'mon now, let's all say it up front - if a woman doesn't live with a man, she is unnatural. She is fragmented; she doesn't fit in the box; she does not wear white but is a growing grey mold on the culture of America. Or is she so startling in her brilliant multicolored parts that she cannot be seen at all.
