To be fair, the image felt rather in tune with the rant itself, at least for me.
In any case, I think the quieter, more evenhanded voices on the other side, which do exist, will always be drowned out by the louder types throwing out the extreme examples, usually to match the louder types throwing out the extreme examples on the right. After all, facts can so easily be interpreted differently or to different outcomes. To be sure, a stable, attentive and loving two-parent household is ideal for bringing up children, but we can debate what makes up a stable, attentive and loving two-parent household. I think the debate itself is valuable, until the extremes become the debate.
