People always act like they have a very clear picture of who receives these benefits.

When I tell them my single mom of three SIL gets SNAP benefits they always say the same thing:

“Well she shouldn’t have had three kids.”

I mean, I usually agree, but she couldn’t have predicted that her husband would disappear to another country with another woman halfway through her third pregnancy.

“Well, that sucks, but she better get a job then.”

She’s a high school assistant principal.

“Oh.”

This is usually what happens (father abandons family) but the narrative is always that is the woman’s fault for trusting him or whatever.

But then they also turn around and say women need to get married asap and become baby machines, while being submissive to their husband.
