I'm sorry, but it IS hard to understand. No one in this chain said she was poor BECAUSE she is a woman. Just that she is poor, just like a single father would be...

...and the argument has been "well they could budget" vs "you can't budget yourself out of this shit, it's reality for these people". And by "these people" they don't mean "women", but "people who have to take care of multiple children with one income"

Honestly, this whole thread is YOU ranting about genders, everyone else is talking socio-economic status. THAT'S why is hard to understand.

Viking commented she could be in a position to buy a house out of luck, be it a lottery or, presumably, inheritance.

I comment, half seriously, that he's ignoring that she could just have a good education and a decent paying job, to which he considers an appropriate response to be "uuuuuhmmm AKSHUALLY most single moms are poor."

Thank you for proving you're just engaged in team picking nonsense, and didn't understand the conversation, like everyone else other than Viking, whose ego simply can't admit his assumptions display prejudice.

He seems like he's in the right place, I'm sure he'll figure it out one day, or at least do a better job with real people and not hypotheticals.

With any luck, one day you'll also be able to read a statement as it is and stop getting mad at strawmen.

Did you even realize that the link viking used was for single PARENTS, not mothers?

Most single PARENTS are poor.

FFS the projection in this comment is strong. Just re-read your last 3 paragraphs, and switch 'viking' with 'dragon'. Maybe one day you will be able to look past your sexisim and read content for what it is.
