What are some comics featuring single mothers? How often are they vilified, or portrayed positively? Is the current state of their portrayal a good thing overall?
>>
No one is interested in comics about single mothers.

When is the media ever going to portray single mothers as bad? even though like 80% of criminals were raised by single mother or lesbian parents

Spider-Woman doesnt even count as a single mother

Other than the fact that she used to hate babies, she never takes care of her kid; She leaves it to Porcupine. Shes never at home, shes either clubbing with her friends, fighting crime, or inter dimensional fighting, all while convincing herself that she cares for the child.

Truly a disgusting person, and an even worse mother.

It would be more disgusting if she didn't arrange for the child to be cared for, or abused it because she didn't have the means to and wouldn't give it up for adoption. There are degree of disgusting on this topic, and Spider-Woman isn't in the top tiers by a long shot.

She had a pregnancy scare and then realized how much she wanted kids.
That's the explanation so far.

Out of universe though, the explanation is Hopeless and his wife just had a baby even though they didn't want one before, so he's using that to write Jess' POV

A single parent household isn't the only predictor of criminal behavior. There are a multitude of factors that come into play, such as low performance at school, substance abuse, few social bonds, deliquent peers. It isn't a simple causal relation.

>low performance at school, substance abuse, few social bonds, deliquent peers

Being raised in a single parent household can directly contribute to all of these things due to the hugely increased chance of living in poverty, or, alternatively, neglect due to the parent being at work to stay out of poverty.

Those factors do indeed interact with each other, but to say growing up without a father causes crime is a statement far too bold.

There are also different perspectives/theories that look for the cause of crime elsewhere.

That makes sense. Sexual dimporphism more or less keeps men and women in line. Women know they can't take on their husband in a fight and men are told not to hit women.

When the couple is the same sex actual fist-to-face fights aren't taboo. Also I would imgine lesbians are particularly bad because they are two women. Two synchronized women. Men know how to talk out their differences and just one fight goes a long way. With women they learn nothing and the fight never ends.

I can. It was clear from the beginning that Hopeless doesn't see the baby anything than a prop to use an excuse to have Spiderwoman and other characters coo over her pregger-belly and baby, have cliche/shallow "wacky" pregnant and baby problems, and generate unlikely plots and scenarios revolving around multiple pregnant women that otherwise wouldn't happen.

The main problem is that she decided to have a baby out of nowhere, because she wanted it badly, to the point of getting a sperm donor, but then after the baby was born she doesn't have any time to actually enjoying being a mother and the baby she spat out.

I mean, at least do a time-skip showing how she enjoyed the fuck out of the experience for a few years, but then decided to resume her life as a private investigator.

no, I'm saying actual women get themselves knocked up because they want a baby out of nowhere and then do nothing but bitch and complain when the baby arrives and don't take care of it.

Now granted, that doesn't make your protagonist very endearing, but it wouldn't be Hopeless if he didn't fuck up somehow
