Part 3/10:
The narrative delves into societal perceptions, highlighting widespread judgment and stigmatization of single mothers. The speaker questions why society seems so quick to judge women who are often doing everything “right” in terms of providing for their children but still face criticism and marginalization. She discusses how, despite societal claims of support—like Father's Day being renamed to highlight single mothers—the reality feels harsher. The societal system, she argues, is rooted in patriarchy, designed around male-centered norms that marginalize women and their efforts.
