Single Mothers
Okay, I saw Ann Coulter on the Today Show last week mention single mothers. I let it go that time.
Last night I watched Dr Phil and she was at it again. This time the topic was about our new president and if people are having unrealistic expectations. She once again brought up single mothers. It seemed like no matter what anyone asked her she wanted to keep turning it back to what she thought about single mothers.
So what is her insane view of single mothers? She believes that all of the world’s problems are because of single mothers. No, I am not exaggerating. She even tried stating statistics about how many rapists, murders, and other incarcerated criminals are from single mothers. She has many times also stated that single mothers choose to be single mothers and that this country glorifies being a single mother.
First off, I do not know many women that chose to be a single mother. Being a parent is a very hard job. Who wants to go through that alone? Last I checked it took a man and a woman to make a child. What blame gets put on the men? What about the fact that society now looks the other way when men cheat on and abandon women? I think a more accurate statement would be that children that do not have a father in their life tend to have more problems.
Society does not glorify single motherhood like Ann Coulter claims. Society tries to empower women that get stuck in a horrible position. Everyday women are left to raise children alone. They feel lost, alone, and helpless. Society tries to help these women see that they can make it past their situation.
Okay I am done with my rant. I just could not let it go. She made me very angry.
