I don't think it's single mothers who lack empathy here.

If you have something thoughtful to say about a difficult topic, that's fine, but please don't post ideological rhetoric to HN threads.

I will not stop posting about uncomfortable topics because of your disapproval.

It's not the topic that's the problem, it's the pre-existing political boilerplate. That stuff doesn't add to conversation, it destroys it.

Judging by the responses to my "boilerplate," inluding yours which consisted of a run of the mill ad hominem attempt to shut down the conversation by white knighting, and others which were non-arguments and sarcastic these are not arguments that people have considered.
