Well, Jay, I'm happy to help you. It comes down to this: Lots of men are complete shits who don't take responsibility for their children, and that leaves women who don't make enough money to depend on the government. In many cases, these women haven't made the choice to be single mothers; they've been caught in a trap set by their worthless ex-partner, who didn't live up to her expectations. I hope this clears things up for you, and if you need more explanations, just let me know! Have a nice day!
