Comic Strips

First, there’s nothing inherently wrong with being a single mother.

Single motherhood is not easy, and I have sympathy for any woman who has become a single mother with no power of her own. The critique is not aimed at single motherhood, but rather at women who make (selfish) decisions in life that leaves the children without a father. It cannot be understated how damaging that can be for her children.

One reason why I said that certain internet personalities deserve criticism on their own is that they advocate for men engaging in promiscuity and cause the same problems that these personalities claim they dislike.

Second, a woman’s worth is not determined by the number of past partners she’s had, a standard which is never applied to men.

Yes, it's a factor that men will judge a woman by. It makes sense, because a more extensive past will more likely affect a future relationship.

Men should be held to a higher standard as well, I don't disagree with that.

Third, securing a good father for her child is not the be-all-end-all goal of a single mother. Raising her child(ren) is. This can be done with or without a man involved.

It has been shown that children who are raised with a single parent fare worse than with both parents. It's clear that single motherhood is not something to be desired, neither for the children nor the mothers themselves. Many single mothers are complaining, on the internet about this, so it's strange that you are trying to defend them by claiming that there is no issue to complain about...

So a comic strip didn’t address sexism in the specific way that you approve of, and you think the proper response is to degrade the cartoonist as a whorish single mother who can’t find a good man?

I wasn't talking about the cartoonist. I was talking about the made up characters that supposedly reflect reality. When someone sees this comic, it's most likely that they don't think about who drew it. They will likely see the comic in isolation from the artist, just like I did.
