One of my older co-workers is a widow and also a single dad for ages.

We -- the 16% of single parents, that are dads in our society -- rarely speak up?

If you want to really get me piss angry: treat me like a "white old men" and totally ignore that I want equal rights for my children (boys _and girls_).

(And no, that doesn't invalid the observations completely. It's just... yeah, I get it 5/6 single parents are woman... still: argh)
