A Mini Rant- Ann Coulter on The View on Single Mothers

There was a time when I owned an Ann Coulter book, I'm sorry and slightly embarrassed to admit that, but I did. When I found out she was going to be on The View I was intrigued, I thought she would have to be insane to go on that show, but here she is, in all her vitriolic glory. Immediately, she was spouting off about single mothers, saying their children are a "farm team for future criminals and social outcasts."

I know I'm sensitive where this topic is concerned, as I'm a single mother, but I really felt she was just trying to say outrageous things just to get a rise of the hosts and the audience. She went on to say how they're maladjusted, sympathetic to their fathers, and that children of divorce are just future strippers.

I felt my vision getting a little blurry at this point, the rage was building up. First, at The View, for allowing such a horrible woman to pontificate about her hateful ideas, and second, at me, for watching. I couldn't help it, I sat there for the entire 8 minutes she was on. At least she got rail-roaded by them, but it really bothers me that she actually believes my daughter would be better off with her father, as men are more likely to marry than single mothers- giving her a two parent home. That's just INSANE.

Her whole argument is essentially that single women and their offspring are the cause of the majority of society's ills. I won't argue that it's difficult to be a single mother or that more challenges arise because of it, but I certainly don't blame any group for pandemic social problems. To me, the most important thing is how you are raised.

Just because I'm not married to her father doesn't mean I don't believe in marriage- quite the opposite in fact. And if and when I get married, Spencer will know it's for all the right reasons.
