‘Society still makes single mothers feel they are not the complete package’
Pretty close to ridiculous.
"Society" does no such thing.
Individuals do.
I was raised by a heroic mother on her own. And that was over sixty years ago, in the 1950-60s when attitudes in society – churches, politics, organizations of every description – were far less friendly to the fact than they are today.
I never once heard my mother indulge in the pathetic whining Sandra Bullock does here. No, she did her duty, lovingly, and gave my brother and I the best upbringing possible under the circumstances.
Truly, what kind of “society” do people like Bullock – well-off and privileged almost beyond description – think they are advocating for, effectively asking for somehow still more than they have?
Just the poorest judgment possible demonstrated here.
