Jennifer Aniston v. Bill O'Reilly

After Bill O'Reilly blustered about Jennifer Aniston's decision to get herself inseminated and raise a kid solo, she responded with:

Many women dream of finding Prince Charming (with fatherly instincts), but for those who've not yet found their Bill O'Reilly, I'm just glad science has provided a few other options.


Ha! Nice passive aggressive burn. But... oh no... I'm getting that unpleasant sinking feeling again like I might be agreeing with Bill O'Reilly. I'm sorry but...

How f*cking infuriating it is that she champions single motherhood as some kind of noble choice when it's mostly just an unwanted and desperate situation forced on millions by the vicissitudes of poverty. Poor moms can't afford the nannies, PAs and various helpers Aniston will have to make single motherhood bearable. Poor moms don't do this stuff with the luxury of choice like Aniston. Poor moms don't do this because they're too picky to keep a guy around. F*ck this sh*t. I'm sick of women with wealth and privilege extolling the everyday privations of poor moms as feminist virtues. If you work three jobs and raise your kids alone, you should not be celebrated. You should be helped and the society that you live in needs to seriously reassess its priorities.
