"Uh, excuse me, but what is a "single mother"? I believe in the old days (before political correctness was enshrined by Liberals) that less-flattering terms were used to describe out-of-wedlock mothers."

I completely agree with you. I hate the term "single mother." If I were divorced or widowed, I'd never refer to myself as a single mother. It makes it sound like there is and was no male ever involved. God, I hate the feminists and the PC language police.

Yup. How about what happened to the word "chairman?"

Women are "chairs" and men are also "chairs" of organizations.

Woe unto the person who invokes the word "man."

Oh, brother,er, I mean oh, sister.
