I think I know why some men hate single moms so much

I'm not a mother, just a woman who's chronically online

These men want purity in a woman. They subconsciously (or consciously) want a woman who's never had s*x with a man before.

It's why they don't have any nuance in their criticisms. Like, what if a woman is a single mother because her husband died and the children are all his?

What if a man lies about who he is to a woman and doesn't become abusive until several years and several children into their relationship?

Let's see the comments...

It's going to be a lot harder to control and manipulate someone who has already seen their share of red flags and is hyper vigilant.

Regarding the purity angle, you're correct. I saw a great meme that basically says, "Virginity is a social concept constructed by men who thought their peepees were so important, it could change who a woman was."
