The way single mums get talked about is brutal. AIBU to think it’s because people still believe kids fundamentally need fathers, even if no one says it out loud?

If that was the case though op...then surely they'd judge the fathers more than the mothers?

I agree with a pp...it's misogyny.

It is misogyny I agree

I think it's because men will always find a way to blame women for their own shitty behaviour.
