Jennifer Aniston's opining about single motherhood and fathers

[dark-weezing.livejournal.com]

Apparently, Jennifer Aniston has opined about single motherhood and the role of fathers in the 21st century, via commentary to People.com. The latter is more integral, per the irony of her using a sperm donor as part of her new plan to become a single mother. Read onward:

Needless to say, Bill O'Reilly is not amused by Aniston's comments:

Let the fun begin.

Update (8/13): Our Mod had thoughtful concrit about my wording the entry like I had, linked below. My response is within the thread, which I hope should clear up any disconnect issues. It wasn't my intent, as I simply wrote the entry in a rush (or more of one than I thought). My apologies.

Update 2 (8/14): I revised the entry and Subject line considerably, as to tone down my rhetoric. It wasn't my intent when I originally wrote the entry, and I now admit my emotions had the better of me. I try my best to avoid showing such knee-jerk reactions, but this one got to me (or my inner male) more than I thought. Time was another problem, as I apparently had less of it that day to do my usual double checking. (I re-edit myself so much, it's almost frightening.)

I'll take the opportunity to address an issue some of you have focused on: the Subject line. To me, it is the most bothersome aspect of blogging, as capturing the right wording can be quite problematic. Sometimes, I do end up using the headline of whatever link I'm spotlighting for sheer expediency. Sometimes, I agree with it, but I usually don't. I just go with the flow whenever possible. In this case, it was for expediency, which I now see was a mistake.

As always, it has been quite instructive, as my form of blogging still have ways to go. If I offended anyone, my apologies. (I'll opine about the topic of single motherhood itself whenever I have lots of computer time, which I don't, at the moment. Short version, one good parent, regardless of gender, is better than none, yes. Male influence is essential, but life happens and, sometimes, can only go on a case-by-case basis. I simply don't want the male be further diminished in the culture, and Aniston's originally expressing herself in that way got under my skin and I reacted badly.)

Hopefully, the entry should be read better by comparison, and we can move onward and upward, right? Besides my revision, I also have an update, as Aniston has responded to O'Reilly's remarks. Special thanks to Big Hollywood.

Big Hollywood read it as Aniston backing down. Sounds like it. As always, you make the call.
