Ann Coulter is yelled at by women on "The Doctors" for saying single mothers can't be good dads. She cites studies, they cite anecdotal evidence, the male doctors say nothing.

Because all the other female commentators took it as a personal attack against their own potential choices.

They took everything that she said, and made it all about me, me, me, me, me, me, me... Look at me, me, I, I, me, I.

The one doctor was saying that "she" was the product of a single parent. She is the exception to the rule.

Holy shit the screeching. Don't let her finish a sentence, literally scream until your voice gets heard. Give me a fucking break. This is the same show where that black woman supported male circumcision as "healthy" and "ethical".

edit: The slut shaming was also interesting.

This guy looks scared of being shanked if he opens his mouth.

To be fair, the show is entirely geared toward women. Look at their upcoming shows. Look at the "be on our show" requests. Is all about skinny jeans, beauty secrets, hair bleaching gone wrong, LA ladies needing a massage and so on. However, Ann (who I personally cant stand) makes great points which were countered by irrelevant personal stories. Data and studies always trump stories and experiences.

Not gonna lie this actually change my view of her.

I don't think Ann Coulter needs to be part of the discussion. What I really mean is that this didn't need to be linked to this sub.

I'm conflicted. Ann Coulter is Queen of the Harpees and very anti-Canadian (I'm a Canuck), but she seems to have a good argument here.

Maybe she's getting better? Either way, I still loathe her, but have to concede she has a point here.

girlwriteswhat · 2013-10-24T06:31:42+00:00

That woman raising her tone to make a point, just made me stop watching the video. Anyone raising their voice has a weak argument.

On topic, being raised by a single mother, and I would say I've been raised perfectly and I believe my mother not only did the best job with what she had she did an incredible job being a mother. That being said she could never fill the role of a father. I can tell you from a personal experience growing up without a dad is extremely hard. Just like the tittle says. A mother can't be a dad.

One stable good parent is better than two unstable parents

Well no shit, but that also doesn't mean single moms can or cannot be good dads. It's an irrelevancy.

Saying a 40% on a test is better than 20% doesn't mean you passed.

Only because of economics

Uh no, there is more to raising a child than providing for it. This kind of mentality is what informs people seeing fathers as disembodied wallets.

You're not looking at the quality of the individual

Which again, is not sufficient about whether moms can or cannot be good dads.

Only if you assume that mothers and fathers play the exact same roles and it's just a time management issue can you even begin to use such simplistic reasoning.

This is so controversial.

Only because the loudest voices are put on television and seem to lack basic critical thinking skills, which hey gets ratings.

Ironic considering we just had a post telling us how evil conservatives are toward mens issues. lol

DoublespeakAbounds · 2013-10-24T16:21:16+00:00

Whatever you think of Coulter, she made those women (well-educated, "strong" women no less) look like idiots.

VoodooIdol · 2013-10-24T17:23:58+00:00

I don't care. Ann Coulter is an evil harpy. I really don't want anyone like her speaking up for male issues any more than I do some rad-fem. They're equally bad in opposite directions.

chrispdx · 2013-10-24T01:47:58+00:00

Ann Coulter is not someone you should defend anywhere.

rg57 · 2013-10-24T06:26:47+00:00

I only watched the first 1/3 or so... too much shouting.

But they're all wrong (of course).

Single parents, on average do worse than two parents. They have less to work with. There's nothing wrong with that.

And there is no "dad" or "mom" role. Two same-sex parents raise kids that are at least as well off as those raised by two opposite-sex parents. (Recent report to the contrary already has been debunked).

News: empiricist materialist professionals have no contributions to debate between emotionally driven entitled estrogen breathers and hollow-eyed idealogue.
