If on the other hand the question is "Are overbearing mothers better than loving, caring mothers?" then the answer is absolutely not.
Well stated, although, I wouldn’t describe Chua as overbearing. She is criminally abusive. If Ann Coulter had children, and she wrote a book which described the same type of tactics and forms of discipline Amy Chua expressed in her book, the Left would be screaming for a criminal indictment and conviction.
