I still don't understand why you guys feel defensive. Do you think the woman that you make happy everyday is going to constantly bring up the plight of her single friends? Do you have women in your social circle constantly taking you to task about this? lol c'mon....
And as many Black single mothers as there are out there doing the most to keep their sons happy (sometimes overdoing it), how can you truly believe, that they believe we ain't shit?
