This response is offensive, disgusting, and false.  I doubt the percentage
of perverts is all that much higher among single men than any other particular
group, but even if it WERE, the vast majority of any group abhors child
abusers.  Single people, male and female, want children for the same reasons
married people, male and female, want them  (with the possible exceptions
of "saving the marriage" or "pleasing the inlaws")  No one accuses married 
people of perversion.
