Are "choice mothers" really the best choice?

a href=”http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2008/sep/17/women.family”There appears to be a growing trend/a of “choice mothers” in the UK who are having children in their early thirties by artificial insemination as they have decided they would rather have a child than a relationship (via a href=”http://www.pjmedia.com/instapundit/archives2/024716.php”Instapundit/a):br /br /blockquoteIn many ways it is an extraordinary decision to use donor sperm in your early 30s because you are fed up waiting for a partner. Some campaigners argue that choice mothers are wrongfully depriving their children of a father. But many women in this position think long and hard about this aspect of their decision and often line up a host of male role models in advance. Gwyneth says of 10-year-old Helen: “I think there are some children who grow up perfectly well without male role models – and she has got my father, my brother and my nephew.”/blockquotebr /br /It seems to me that kicking men out of the lives of kids and women is the goal of the media and radical feminists in the current milieu that we are living in. Last night, I watched a taped show of a href=”http://www.suzeorman.com/”Suze Orman/a where she cheered a woman on for kicking a man out of her life for not being financially responsible enough (he had a lot of credit card debt). However, in the segment before, Ms. Orman had a woman on who owed $40,000 dollars in credit card debt but she sighed in sympathy with her as she explained her predicament. Why isn’t Orman warning men about this financially irresponsible woman? Of course she wouldn’t do that. Women are caught in bad circumstances, men span style=”font-style:italic;”are/span bad circumstances in her mind. It seems like many women feel this way. br /br /The more our society pushes the radical feminist agenda that men are bad, irresponsible, or just not available, the more likely it is to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. In many ways, it already is, men are avoiding marriage and relationships and are finding other satisfying ways of living their lives. Women believe that there is no guy out there for them or they think of men as bad or irresponsible–which pushes them away further. Some guys will not even try to satisfy women who they feel they can never measure up to, or live up to their high expectations. In this rush to kick men out of family life and reward single motherhood (unless one has a Republican mother), I wonder what the repercussions will be on the next generation?
