Ann Coulter Blames Single Mothers

Ann Coulter blames single mothers for--well, for everything.
Januarisays...

Ann Coulter is an absolutely heinous human being... if its a made up persona to make money or she really believes the bile she spews, she is just one of the most pointlessly horrid people around.

Phreezdrydsays...

The issue should be why are children having their own children before even finishing high school? How does a child working toward being a responsible adult have time to also be a full time parent? They have to lean heavily on relatives, friends, and probably government programs to get by. Children maybe end up getting treated like baggage instead of a loved, planned for part of life. Is any of this good or fair?

Rinse and repeat for generations. I think society as a whole pays for this, and not just with tax dollars. Kids need real education about real life, instead of the nonsense from the squeamish and the holier than thou.

Do you think the money she makes is worth living a life where your are required to put so much hate and ugliness out into the universe? How many years of this kind of work do you think it took for her soul to die completely? Look into those cold dead eyes and tell me what you see? Sadness, bitterness, loneliness, regret...

Phreezdrydsays...

And as for the absent fathers they love to hate on, are they just completely evil for also being kids, and running away when the fun sex turns into the lifelong responsibility? Who knows, maybe the girl even lied about birth control to try and force him to stick around. Kids do stupid things.

I forgot to check the sarcasm box on my comment above.
The things she says are definitely soul-killing.

Ann Coulter is a troll. A highly-paid, professional troll. She is actually quite intelligent and very well educated (and ironically(?) a huge Grateful Dead fan.) She knows that here extreme opinions get her name out there, which gets her on television and radio spots which helps her sell books, which is how she has made millions. Millions.>> ^Januari:

So what your saying is shes a whore as well... and absolutely sold her integrity and anything really worth while about her character to preach hate for money... completely agree... of course that in no way negates what my feelings on her are, differs from anything i said, or is any sort of revelation.

That was a completely worthless clip.

What she said isn't actually that shocking, it's just the phrasing. By FAR, it has been shown that if you come from a happy home with two parents you are more likely to do well... coming from a single parent household (mum or dad) just comes with all the baggage that it entails. It's not to say that you CAN'T do a great job as a single parent, and it shouldn't be an attack on single parents as such, just the situations that lead to them BEING a single parent. Being a couple is always going to be easier when it comes to raising children. Trying to do it on your own is magnitudes of difficulty harder, and is that much more likely to result in kids with issues.

So, what Coulter says isn't 'wrong' as such, she just chooses intentionally bullshit ways of framing things to rile people up.

But none of the 'rebuttals' shown here made sense or had any worth either.

So this is a pointless clip.

Wasn't disagreeing with ya. I despise the woman. >> ^Januari:

It's that she attacks the women, and refuses to hold the baby daddies to any account or even acknowledge their existence, as if it's the women who choose single parenthood.>> ^lantern53:

I don't hear anything that can't be substantiated.
Single mothers and sperm donors result in a big mess, which can be seen everywhere you turn.

the assumption that any two parents can raise a family completely alone without having to rely heavily on relatives, friends, and sometimes even government programs to get by is ridiculous. human beings are HERD animals. it takes an entire HERD to raise a family. furthermore, children from any type of home are equally at risk to be born to parents who often, sometimes, occasionally or all the time treat them like baggage instead of a loved and planned for part of life. dysfunction isn't specifically an attribute assigned to the young, the single, the female, or the working class.

AND sex fucking happens. human bodies reach sexual maturity in the teen years because humans didn't evolve to live past the age of 35 without serious technology, nutritional, medical and dental intervention. lackadaisical teenage fuck-off-ery is a relatively new luxury. biology didn't stop dead in its tracks to accommodate.

i was a too young single mother, it wasn't at all easy. it was hard as fuck sometimes and i worked/continue to work my ass off. there were times when there was no joy left in my house. i used to think that was only because i was a single parent. as my friends have now grown into married adults, i see that there are plenty of 2 parent families with no joy left in their houses. anyone can have a really hard life. i don't recommend teenage parenthood to anyone,ever. however, it's not the end of the world. the end of your life. or some horrific societal tragedy. the thing that i have learned is not to vilify stupid kid accidents, but rather to be completely unpuritanical about the idea that one day, my kids will be teenagers with sex drives and educate and prepare them properly, with all the tools in the belts to make reasonable decisions. hopefully, it'll stick. if it doesn't, it's still not the most horrible thing ever and they will supported rather than treated like stupid irresponsible pieces of trash. which is the kind of shit i;ve had to put up with for the last 9 years.

are you trolling? or do you watch too many daytime talk shows??? sure, sometimes girls do asshole things like lie about being on the pill. it's not at all the norm. don't try and make it sound like a reasonable assumption.
and don't make excuses for absent fathers. abandoning your family is sort of evil. i know there are exceptions. in my baby daddy case, he was too mentally ill to be around us anymore. he made our lives better when he went away and never came back. however, most people are not profoundly mentally ill. and even he gave being a dad a decent shot. and he did and does love his kids. his absence is a tragedy in his life more than it is in ours. i saw him recently after 6 years and its very much a wound that eats him alive daily. he is sick and bony and gray. the only solace for him is to know that he went away so he couldn't continue to damage us all and that we are all happy and healthy and functional. that's the saddest thing in the world.

i find it hard to believe that a decent moral human being can completely abandon their kids with no assurance of their well-being (this statement excludes parents who leave their kids with adoptive families with the hope and trust that they will be cared for properly) and remain whole. it's a narcissistic thing to do, it is a sociopathic thing to do. in the absence of drug addiction or some obscenely destructive mental illness, there is no excuse for it. you don't have to get married, or live together, in many cases it's better if you don't. but there is no reason for a relatively sane, relatively function person to walk away entirely from another human they created. pregnancy is risk everyone who engages in vaginal intercourse takes every single day. most of them are completely aware of it. you don't get to make it sound reasonable for a person, no matter their age, to completely run away forever and not look back. you don't get to make it sound reasonable that society place 100% of the responsibility for raising functional adults entirely on women.

sometimes it is. sometimes it's the best decision they can make.

@peggedbea

No, I'm not trolling. I think my general point was that kids are dumb, and they need better education and counseling resources instead of being told to just wait until married. The only reason it might sound like I'm singling out women is because that's what the topic was about in the first place. The women in the audience were talking about going back to school and working, and it made me wonder where the kids were during all that.

Unhappy dysfunctional married couples and their problems with raising kids was not part of this video.
Nor was absentee fathers. I do find it annoying how the audience members can't make their point without first trying to be insulting. And when somebody says they are a good parent, how do they know that?

I probably should have stuck with bashing Ann Coulter instead of thinking about the single mother issue.

messengersays...

Yes, single parenthood generally produces kids with more problems than with two parents. But why can't Coulter acknowledge that sometimes it's the father's choice to make the woman a single mother? She doggedly refuses to change her tune from, "Single mothers damage children" (always blame the woman) to "Single parenthood damages children", except when she's citing the statistics on single parenthood which don't share her prejudice.>> ^peggedbea:
