Single women with children make 60% of the money that man could make; why are we giving someone who works twice as hard, slightly more than half the amount of mornt they should be earning? This information really hits home for me because my aunt Helen had raised three kids all by herself. And, although I didn't realize this at the time, I now see that she is one of the hardest working women that I know; working anywhere between ninety and one hundred hours a week, putting three kids through college; it's inspiring. Growing up, I would always visit my cousins at their house in Framingham, and I would always wonder why there mom wasn't home. It was always because she was working in order to support her family. Now, some might ask, "Where does feminism play into this?". Well, if she was earning the amount of money that she should have been, she wouldn't have as much ware and tear on her today.
