Jennifer Aniston Slammed for Suggesting Dads Are Optional in Families

Jennifer Aniston’s recent comments about how men are optional in child raising has sparked outrage from those who believe the 41-year-old actress has an unrealistic perception of what it really takes to raise children alone.

“(Promoting single parenthood) might be the norm in the Hollywood, but the rest of America believes children deserve and need a mother and a father,” Nathan Burchfiel of the MRC’s Culture and Media Institute told Pop Tarts. “Life is extremely difficult for single moms, with about one quarter of them living below the poverty line. But of course Jennifer doesn’t have to worry about that given her financial resources.”

In Dobson’s book “Bringing Up Boys”, he talks about how the feminist movement changed education...None of these women ever had children yet their beliefs forever changed how we educate and raise our children....in “GOV Co.” (Larson Charlotte, NC) schools.

In my work group of seven, four of us have children — 15 kids among a dad and three moms. Only my three kids live in a two-parent household.

Just wonder what kind of future these fatherless kids will have.

Aniston is more than annoying — and I seem to recall that some time ago she had major issues with her mother and did not speak to her. Not sure of her relationship with her father but parents are divorced, of course.

I hope she is not planning on having or adopting a child anytime soon.

What is it about Hollywood that makes people complete imbeciles?

Nothing, they were imbeciles to begin with. Movie acting really doesn't' take that much talent, so these people are selected for how they look, and little else. Then the fame goes to their head and the put their imbecility on display for the world to see. The problem is that many in that world mistake celebrity for wisdom, or even intelligence.

It's a bit like the "show dog lines" verses "hunting/working dog lines" They be beautiful, but dumb.

I think Jen talks way too much, but in the end her kid and Laura’s kid won’t have an actual father in the household. Same result IMO.

And it can be done. Not every family situation is worse off for lack of a father. It very much depends on the circumstances. In general, are two parent families preferable? Yes, of course. But there are exceptions.

"Same result."

Really, you've got some empiracal evidence to back that up? "Orphans are better off in an orphanage than in the care of a single parent", is a ridiculously silly statement, but that's the statement you're making.

Anniston is a special tyupe of imbecile. Dads optional in families? I guess that’s what she told herself to get by when her dad dumped her mom.

Sher lived with her dad when she wanted to break into acting. As for her mother being nuts, sorry about that.

And THIS one, Anniston, is probably the imbecile of inbeciles...a totally clueless, classless bimbo who, every time she opens her big, stupid mouth, betrays an IQ of about 40..maybe in terms of sheer stupidity she distinguishes herself from her hollywood peers

The most secure prison in the country. Prisoners have no contact with the outside world - no TV, movies, magazines, internet.

“There is a WIDE divide ....”

I agree. I know several single women who adopted from China. They could have undergone artificial insemination but chose to adopt a child that had no future, no family, no name or hope. They are loving mothers who have very close knit families that help including brother-in-laws/brothers/close cousins. The little girls now have a LIFE. In China, the best they could have hoped for was to work in a factory... the other options being sold as wives, prostitution or worse (if they would have survived the so called orphanages).
