For every divorced women there is a divorced man so why is coulter blaming society's ills on 1 sex?

[Liberal_in_LA]

For every single mom there is a single father. Regarding Coulter's new despicable book, why is Coulter trashing divorced women? Clearly she has more hostility towards the mother than the father here. Am I wrong?

* Coulter calls children whose parents divorce "future strippers" in a chapter titled "Victim of a Crime? Thank a Single Mother":

In any event, divorced mothers should be called "divorced mothers," not "single mothers." We also have a term for the youngsters involved: "the children of divorce," or as I call them, "future strippers." It is a mark of how attractive it is to be a phony victim that divorcées will often claim to belong to the more disreputable category of "single mothers." (Page 36)

1. She's so stupidly cheap, she's funny.

The history of human evolution is single mothers.

lol

[theoldman]

15. A very interesting observation.

You are probably right since marriage is a very recent part of the human culture. I don't think our nearest relatives the Neanderthals ever got married and we humans didn't either until a few thousand years ago. I don't think that some cultures get married today.

27. Pair bonding among agrarian people even late into the 20th century

rotated with crop cycles. You stay on the site and work the crop, father a kid and then move on to find work in the next cycle.

She's so disconnected from the lives of real people, she's like a chimp that finds a tin can to bang around without ever realizing what the can is, what it was for or what to do with it now that she has it.

At best, most of us are serial monogamists as far as I can tell, even now with our extended life spans. But, don't tell Hallmark.

2. lol Reactionary anti-feminists are all the GOP has left

[SemiCharmedQuark]

3. Because she markets her books to the extreme RW

And women are one of their favorite targets.

[Liberal_in_LA]

4. ahhhh. Good point. Hitting at divorced males would probably be unacceptable

[StreetKnowledge]

12. Rush's Limbaugh been divorced three times.

That alone would cause problems for Annie the Psycho.

[YOY]

13. Just about every crazy Limbaughite listener I know of is divorced.

With or without children. Cannot talk to women without making a complete ass of themselves and usually has a nasty gynophobic streak.

[muriel_volestrangler]

5. Succinctly and correctly put

:thumbsup:

[Catherine Vincent]

29. That is correct!

I was on a cruise a couple of years ago and I noticed one of the passengers had their Ann Coulter book on one of the lounge tables. I wanted to stick around to see what person would bring her book on a friggin cruise. I did leave before they returned because if I had stayed, I would like to have thrown them overboard. :)

18. This guy:

[YOY]

7. Because she says shit to sell books to idiots.

n.t.

[Turbineguy]

17. Important point!

In fact, the most important. Analyzing her is a waste of time IMO. She writes books for idiots to buy. She helps them to stay idiots. That is her purpose in life.

Teachers all over the US get up every morning to help people learn new stuff. Coulter counters that.

[sweetpotato]

8. You know why - Only women are to be punished for having sex

Its all part of the patriarchy.

Women are either virgins or whores and the whores need to be punished with children.

Everyone knows that raising children is the punishment for having sex. Men aren't supposed to be punished for having sex - they are free and encouraged to have all the sex that they can get.

Double standard is hallmark of the patriarchy.

[Warren DeMontague]

10. Answer: Because Ann Coulter is currently working on the Guiness Record for being most full of shit.

Of any human being- nay, any sentient being, anywhere, at any time.

[LaurenG]

11. Stats suggest there are more r's than d's divorcing

19. There you go again trying to introduce facts. I doubt AC cares about facts. nt

[tanyev]

14. That's rich, coming from a future bag lady.

What's her excuse?

[ThisThreadIsSatire]

16. Simple explanation:

she's not fucking a staggering number of divorced women.

[TheWraith]

23. Oh, that should be a DUzy. :D

[Avalux]

20. A never-married childless wraith passes judgement on single mothers.

She has successfully marketed faux outrage; even those who despise her will buy the book just to read this crap. The woman does know how to make a buck.

[TheWraith]

21. Because she can get more shock value out of blaming it on women. That's all she's about.

She's a Howard Stern type, not trying to be coherent, just trying to apall people.

Besides which, blaming societal ills on divorced men might net her some agreement from radical feminists, which would make Coultergeist's head explode.

[Deja Q]

36. *ding* *ding* *ding* We have a winner!

[Warpy]

22. She's a vicious little hag, isn't she?

I suspect she's what Irish families like mine call a "pants warmer." That's the one who gets up early in the morning and uses all the turf put by to cook breakfast to warm the men's pants so their dear little arses won't be cold when they put them on.

The rest of us know that poor divorced mothers who neglect their children while they work multiple jobs to keep them fed, clothed and housed come from men who either pay child support only irregularly or don't pay it at all.

Her hatred of everyone but the pudgy rich white guys who won't date her comes shining through all of her screeds.

[hfojvt]

24. not all single mothers are divorced

some of them were never married in the first place, so single mother is a broader term which included divorced mothers, except the ones who re-marry. Also a woman could have sex with a man who is married to somebody else. In which case there would not be a single father for that single mother.

[pl259]

25. Because she cannot count to 2

:silly:

[onenote]

26. because she's really a man?

[virgogal]

28. My mother was widowed young in The Great Depression.

(Yes,I'm old}

I wonder how Coulter feels about children being raised by that type of single mother.

Her "celebrity" days are numbered,I hope.

[RiverStone]

30. Does she get off on being despised? n/t

[louis-t]

31. Haven't noticed anyone rushing in to marry HER lately.

She's sooo bitter.

[Deja Q]

37. While I wouldn't blindly equate marital/partnership status with bitterness,

the fact remains she's a shock jock, looking for easy money.

America's the country to do it in too. :D

She'll make a cartoon, put on after "American Dad" called "Patriotic Woman". It'll be just as funny as "American Dad" too, though in all honesty that is not saying much...

[noiretextatique]

32. because she's an ignorant jerk?

:shrug:

[RoadRage]

33. I wonder if Bristol Palin will cry when she reads this??

Ahh.. but wait. Bristol isn't a "Divorced" mother yet... so she doesn't qualify, right? I'm confused.. if you get married, have kid, get divorced does that make you better or worse then just getting knocked up and having kid - NOT EVER being married, hence never divorced?

I get confused as to which fuckin' broad brush i'm suppose to be paiting with when I read her book "Paint by number with Ann".

:eyes:

[dkofos]

34. People tend to blame the opposite sex.

[Deja Q]

35. She's so outrageous, whatever she says won't be supported by many...

Even Rush won't be backing her... (sorry to give that visual...)

Maybe she'll be appearing on "Comedy Central" - after Sarah Silverman... still debating which one of them actually generates chuckles...

I know a woman who divorced a real sleazebag of a hubby. She is the most civilized human being I've been graced to know. And by no means a "victim" mentality, like how Coultercootie would portray her as being. Maybe Ann should get to know her before throwing my friend and her daughter in with that "future strippers" comment.

[cap]

38. I wonder what Ann thinks of the Bible Belt where divorce statistics are the highest

in the nation. All those good fundamentalist mothers are "future strippers" in her opinion.

[Starry Messenger]

39. I think the majority of her readership is male (righties).

"Men's Rights Advocates" just love her I think.

[treestar]

40. Bingo, and they can quote her and the idea thus comes from a woman

[Liberal_in_LA]

42. Similar to what Larry Elder does to attract a rightwing audience

[Pastiche423]

41. Because of the massive amount of testosterone flowing

through her body?

[Giant Robot]

43. Neat point and gives us some insight into Coulter's motives

But I have to say this: What's wrong with being a stripper? If a man or woman wants to take their clothes off for money it is far more honorable than spreading disease from soul to soul like Coulter does. As full disclosure one of my dearest friends was a stripper. Of course she came from a stable home and was working on her chemistry degree at the time, while working at a local environmental surveying company. Or to put it in words Coulter understands, go fuck yourself you screeching harpy.
