I am a woman. And i live alone. But i do agree that there is no need to hype the fact of a woman living alone. Both men and women who live alone, face problems, sometimes different than each other. Woman may have more safety issies to think of but i guess at the end it is strength and confidence that you need to live alone. There is no need to make a big deal out of it. If you want independence in life, there is a price to pay....even if you are a man and even if you are a woman.
