Interesting! I've never heard the male form used except specifically when talking about a male person. I'd guess it's a regional thing again (die/das Nutella anyone?).

But for the single mom/dad I've not heard that as a derogative in daily speech.

For me it makes sense to talk about a situation from the perspective of the people in the situation and not some circumstance.

Typically you would not use the noun at all, but the adjective "alleinerziehend".
