Jennifer Aniston has a few choice words for Bill O'Reilly, who criticized her recent comments about single motherhood.

"Of course, the ideal scenario for parenting is obviously two parents of a mature age. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs on earth," Aniston tells PEOPLE exclusively. "And, of course, 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."

snip...
"Women are realizing it more and more, knowing that they don't have to settle with a man just to have that child," the actress told reporters. "Love is love and family is what is around you and who is in your immediate sphere."

Last week, on his Fox News show, The O'Reilly Factor, the host called the actress's comments "destructive to our society," and accused her of "diminishing the role of the dad."

5. Yes, perfect comeback
BillO is just plain creepy and the perfect example of what Aniston was talking about.

2. What, kinky felafel sex enhances the role of the dad?

Is that what DraftDodger O'Loofah (R) is trying to say?

Republicon chickenhawks have the strangest ideas.

6. Until now, I thought of Aniston as cute but somewhat shallow.

15. Sadly, yes to two kids.
And then there is that children's advice book he wrote. Ugh.

8. Murphy Brown is back

Jennifer admits having two parent household is the most attractive option. And I fully believe that as well.

However, I don't think some young women is going to see Aniston have a kid out of wedlock and decide that's something cool to try out.

Plus, Aniston has tons of money where the child will get everything it needs (health care, tutors, best schools, safety, etc...)... When rich people do things I am not so hot for (such as this), I don't really care, because they don't live down here in the real world.

10. I think that, ideally anyway,
every woman (or man for that matter) who has children (or, explicitly, a single child) should be prepared to (well) raise these children without a partner (like, perhaps, by means of an extended family and/or abundant, available financial resources).

Because a person's future is uncertain, and any one of us could meet some "untimely" end.

And I think that a loving, supportive extended-family is desirable in any event, together with a larger community that is also supportive, at least in the sense of providing adequately for public health and safety, public education, etc.

12. I'm sure Bill would say the same thing about Bristol Palin
since she is a single mother.

14. I love watching philanderers preach about morals.
Luckily for me, most of the preachy sorts seem to be philanderers.

18. These old guys just can't stand the lack of control that they have over women
anymore. We have options. So what? They've always had them. Why shouldn't we?

I guess the world will come to a halt if women don't think they need men to complete their lives. How about being wanted instead of required?

I guess ugly old farts like Billo wouldn't have a chance.
