Ask Mimi Abramovitz, Hunter College School of Social Work professor and author of two books on welfare policy and women. I always joke that now we know why welfare benefits are so low women raising children on their own are threatening to men. Once again, it is all about the men for the National Organization for Women. Their members make it quite clear that policy should not be about what is best for women it should be all about shoving and keeping men down. Needless to say, I disagree.
Marriage is definitely a healthy thing.
In fact, I am fairly sure that two deaths and thirteen injuries could have been prevented along with innumerable tears if one couple had stayed married Andy Williams parents. Without beating the dead horse that is the school-shooting epidemic, let it be said that if little Andy had had his mommy, things might have been a little different. I live in Maryland, where young Williams spent most of his formative years. News outlets here have been almost gleefully reporting this local connection, and interviewing his old friends and classmates incessantly. Most of the comments I have heard have been from kids who are just plain excited to be associated with a national celebrity, no matter how depraved.
