The Single Woman Choice
I believe it was Elizabeth Sharp, an associate professor in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies in Lubbock Texas, who did a deep study on the stigma of being a single woman. One would think that stigma would have diminished over the years, BUT IT HAS NOT according to the work of the well known scholar in Red Raider land.
Dr Sharp's protege, Larry Ganong, borrowed form Ellison's invisible man to relate the notion of visibility and invisibility to the plight of women who choose not to get hitched. Larry did a marvelous job of elucidating the social and intellectual issues that face females who don't trust men enough to say the vows. This writer does not blame them on this point! It is nonsense that single women are more depressed than their married counterparts.
I would love to see this Texas Tech team take on the issue of two women choosing each other rather than a male mate. A marriage license was given to a female couple in Hobbs, or it may have been Roswell New Mexico recently(March 29). Kristen J. Allen and Stephanie R. Silvas are to be commended for being brave enough to face the bigots in southeastern NM and I hope the have a great life together. A common specious argument against same sex unions, is that they cannot procreate. Not a problem, in my view, since there plenty of foster children searching for a way of out of orphanhood.
