Victoria wrote: “Words matter. “Single mom” and “single woman raising kids” carry different perspectives, and her clarification is very important.”
Queen wrote: “My gender can be quite funny and interesting sometimes. Just think about how divorce humbled Annie. She used to make her husband’s life miserable, kicked out all his friends, and turned him into a guest in his own home.
Musical career was gone. She’s now literally a ghost without him. I hope my gender learns that men are actually the prize. “Single mum. Single woman”. What’s the grammatical difference abeg?”
