Do you think that single women in society are treated differently to married women or women in a relationship?
I certainly feel pressure to couple up (partly due to the fact that I enjoy a man's company and sex)
However I do get a lot of people telling me to go on dating websites and I get the''i'll find someone'' line unprompted.
Of course I have some understanding of how the patriarchy views single women but I wish to spark lively debate!
Just read another lovely article about single mums in the Telegraph. One reason why I think that single mums are particulary vilified is that it is almost an oxymoron. The word ''mother'' is supposed to denote a righteous, sacrificing, nurturing, wholesome being whereas single women are often portrayed as selfish, unlovable, free and promiscuous. the two words don't quite mix. Or am I overthinking things?
