How Single Women Are Changing Society

Prior to modern transportation it was common for men to be out of touch with there wives for long periods of time (months / years). So, defacto most society's dealt with lots of single mothers.

The classic solution was large extended family's which is where America falls down.

PS: It's even a major plot point in the Odyssey which is ~2,800 years old.

There's a substantial difference between a few months (or even years) of deployment vs. 18 years of child development with no father.

Also interesting to note is that a lot of negative children statistics do not apply to single mother widows.
