Yes. It's bigoted because it implies that a 'father' is 'necessary' to rear children properly, which is anathema to the NOW gang.................
That’s what I thought. I figured it was bigoted against females to suggest that a father is important in children’s lives.
But this is nothing new. Remember the reaction to Dan Quayle, in 1992, when he criticized a TV show which featured a single woman having a baby alone??? Oh my God, the over-reaction and meltdown among liberals at that time was unbelievable.
