A molester is not a loving parent. The choice is not between an evil dad and no dad; we are talking about a good dad or no dad. I still believe most people would prefer to have a good one to none at all, no matter how wonderful Mom is.

Plenty of women think they are married to terrific men who are wonderful fathers. Some of these fathers rape their daughters and their mothers either don't know or choose not to know.

Statistically, girls are safer with two loving moms.

So take your judgments and shove them up your ass.

What is the likelihood of a man raping his daughter? What is the likelihood of this man having given zero clues? There are always signs. We often subconsciously choose to ignore them, but the signs are always there.

Is this like the lazy lab partner wanting to team up with the one who does all the work and then getting mad because the hard worker decides to go solo? Maybe he should take this as a wake sign that the lazy lab partner needs to be responsible and actually share half the work instead of bad mouthing her.

Society has changed.
A man goes to work, comes home so that the wife can give him his slippers and cook his meals for him.
Make wife pregnant, carry on with your life like before, baby comes, now wife will be happy. Carry on as before.

So yes, be afraid, be very afraid.
Women no longer need a man sitting in the living room. Being a father is not fathering a child. Be there and do your share of carting the kids to day care and hobbies, and house work. Maybe then we will say we need you

Why? Because you don't like his politics or do you have conclusive proof that he is a bad parent. How much do you know about Jennifer Anniston that makes you believe she would be a good parent?

Aside from his politics, he is just an obnoxious, arrogant person who gives me a headache every time I hear him rant. If he were my father I'd go crazy.

Simply because you don't llike his politics, nor do I, but I have no knowledge or have heard anything that would indicate that he is an unfit parent. Even though he is not your father, he is, apparently, succeeding in driving you crazy, anyway. You don't have to watch his show. Turn it off.

Good grief, I never said he was an unfit parent - only that he is obnoxious and arrogant. Kind of like you.

I think he is a genious.
Puts on an irritating face.
He clearly know what to say and what buttons to push to make an american audience squirm in their seats and keep watching.

That aside, I think we have all realized that his level of reporting is low. He talks generally on subjects just to anger people, and preaches so much that the audience does not get impartial information. A sleazy game.
Pity that american news media have gone down to this level

I don't think that Jennifer Anniston's intent was to proclaim that we don't need fathers. I think her point was that it is possible to raise a child on ones own. However, I wish she would have stressed the fact that being a single parent is extremely difficult and not exactly ideal.

Actually, I have read that the more important parent is the mother and that two mothers are better than one; some have hinted that two mothers are better than a mother and a father.

"Of course, the ideal scenario for parenting is obviously two parents of a mature age. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs on earth. "And, of course, many women dream of finding Prince Charming (with fatherly instincts), but for those who've not yet found their Bill O'Reilly, I'm just glad science has provided a few other options."

While I agree that her response was diplomatic, and she did not sink to his level, she doesn't really reach the issue. Just because science makes it possible doesn't make it a good idea. Sure, shit happens, and people end up single parent contrary to expectations, and do their best. Often, their best is more than enough and they end up with an awesome kid (this was my DH's situation with his single mom). But that doesn't mean that single parenthood is an ideal that we should champion.

moms and dads show kids different things in different ways. sometimes you have no choice like if the father dies or goes away. but its wrong to plan not to have a dad.
