Sounds like Cathy hit a nerve when the feminist/woman-firster she scored on applied the same statistical morality she likes to apply elsewhere to herself and didn't like where it went.
I'm only an occasional reader, but couldn't resist chiming in here.
Young links to Shannon Cate, who acknowledges that children in two-parent families "fare better" than children in one-parent families--and turns around and says we should "make the road smoother" for one-parent families.
From time to time Helen notes that if you reward (or subsidize) behavior, you get more of it. Maybe Cate does not believe that. Maybe Cate believes it but has an overriding agenda.
Good point GS, single mothers are heavily subsidized, and we have more of them. And that is a HUGE part of our problems in this country. It is not a slam against women, it is an acknowledgment of the facts, that kids do best in traditional families.
