It seems to me that it's time for us to get organized, though I am not sure how. Most singles are not thinking of ourselves as a political force as singles. Being single is so much viewed as a transitional status that singlism remains pervasive and largely unrecognized even by fellow singles. For example, I was rather disappointed about the lack of critical analysis at a recent panel of <a href="http://www.commonwealthclub.org/archive/08/08-04womenlit-audio.html" rel="nofollow">single women writers</a> at the Commonwealth Club here in SF. Somehow, they seemed to miss how radical it is to <em>choose</em> to be single! I think it's time for some major consciousness raising! I agree, Angela!

It sometimes feels like we singles are the lost segment of our population - and there are so many of us! Yes and thank you very much.
