Its fascinating how these group statistics are held up as meaningful; as though collective numbers are somehow related to individual merit.  Buried in those statistics are men and women that range from  murderers to saints.

This father here had to raise 2 kids largely on his own because his wife had the misfortune of coming down with a very serious illness.  I was  the one holding the baby bottles in the middle of the night and changing diapers and then going to my job in the morning in a very sleep deprived state.  Cooking? I did it. Cleaning? I did it. Picking up kids for  day care? I did it. Attendant care worker for wife? I did it. 

I will NOT be judged by useless statistics!
