Marriage is hardly a secret.

I think you can guess. Anyway, that's not a secret either.
People are aware of these things. The options are not sermonization or censorship; that's a false dichotomy.
- ip26 4y agoSure, people guess. And I expect most still underestimate it by a country mile. It isn’t very openly discussed, because no one wants to impinge involuntarily single-parenthood households. Being vaguely aware that “single-parenthood is harder than two-parenthood” does not count as informed.

- lodi 4y agoGP isn't saying that this topic is literally censored; he's saying that discussing it is taboo, and increasingly so.
- lapcat 4y ago> he's saying that discussing it is taboo, and increasingly so. It's not though. There's no evidence of that. In fact, the very claim "no one wants to impinge involuntarily single-parenthood households" is itself an ironic admission that the difficulties of single-parent households are obvious to everyone.
