I hear often both directly out in public and on news cast and various tv shows, "I'm a single working mom". Given I rarely, if ever, run into a single father introducing or announcing himself to the world as, "I'm a single working dad", makes me wonder why woman make this statement. Is it to gain sympathy? Is it a badge of honor of some sort? Is their a presumption that moms do not hold jobs outside the home? I know the last to not be true and for the life of me I can't figure out where this statement is coming from. The informal conversations that I have had with single moms on this topic have all led to another common statement, "I don't ever state I'm a single working mom".
I'm just confused.
