If a Woman is Single with No Kids, Do People Think She’s Gay?

You ever see someone who says something that is funny, but not really all that funny?  That’s the way to describe the article written by a comedian who talks about what it’s like to be a single black woman in America in the year 2012.  Digging into her Southern roots, she says that the loneliness of being single is not the real problem.  Instead, it’s all the questions she gets from older black women who just don’t understand how love and dating have changed in the black community.

The author says that many of her relatives speculate that she dates women or that something is wrong with her because she chose to remain single.  But for many women, this is a real issue, as they grapple with making the tradeoffs between marriage and career that many of us struggle with.  Additionally, there are complications that come with the prison industrial complex and high black male unemployment, not giving women as many male options that are able to withstand the challenges of marriage and children.

NaturallyMoi.com tells more:

Chloe Hilliard, a comedian, takes issue with all the people who think that every person who doesn’t have kids by the time they’re 30 must be gay.   Hilliard’s point, made in jest, is a serious nuisance for millions of African American women who find themselves on the other side of the big 3-0 without having a husband or child in tow.  Many of these women are liberated, educated and enjoying the single life.  But some of them are haunted by questions from relatives who are “concerned” about the state of their love lives.

Frank Ocean is getting on my nerves. Not for the reason you’re thinking. I don’t care who you decide to love or sleep with. I’m frustrated because now that he has publicly clarified his s****l preference, folks are trying to predict who will be next.

    I am a 42 year old single woman with NO KIDS. When I lived in the South, I was looked at like I was a d**n alien because I had no kids AT ALL. I heard the rule in the South is if you aren’t married by the time you’re 25 and a kid by 30, you have issues. This is why I can’t live in the South. I go anywhere I want to, I do what I want to with nobody’s permission and I d**n sure don’t have to look over my shoulder for anyone coming after me. I am a free woman with the world in my hands. I choose NOT to have children and I’ll probably NEVER get married. That’s my choice. Why is that a crime? I have an Uncle that likes to ask what’s wrong with me because I have no kids and I am still single at 42. I tell him I am happier than I’ve ever been because I have no hangups. All this baby mama baby daddy drama is for the BIRDS. No thank you!

    I know of a young lady that has no kids, owns her own home, makes $75,000 per/year, has a car & an SUV and does not ask her parents for anything. She does not want to get married at this time and does not want children ever. And…no, she is not gay, she dates when she wants to, goes where she wants to. She respects herself and others. It is time we had more Black women like her, I am sick of seeing and hearing about Black women with a house full of kids with different last names laying on her b**t drawing a check each month. There is no need for it in this day & time, there all types of birth control on the market and someone needs to tell these dummies, having a baby by man, does not a man get!

    d**n if you do; d**n if you don’t! If a woman had children and no husband, negroids would still find something to talk about.

    I respect a woman with no children because that tells me, she respects herself. All women and men don’t want to get married OR HAVE CHILDREN, so why do they have to be labeled ‘gay’ just because they are single and children free?

    I know a brother, who is 62, with no children, and he ain’t gay! What happened to choices. Does the government CONTROL what you should do and not do; what you should eat and not eat; who you should marry and who you shouldn’t marry?

    This gay shyt is going too d**n far! You have women with children, WHO ARE GAY, so what the f*k? You got gay folks adopting children, that are gay, so what the f*k? h**l! You got gay women, who are marrying to hide their gayness!!!!

    ANOTHER FUKED UP ARTICLE ON HOMORECTUMS!

    All these single women with babies, who are killing them because they DON’T WANT THEM and folks worrying about a single woman and her lifestyle of being single and children free!

    WHAT’S NEXT, IF YOU MARRIED YOUR GAY???????
