Jennifer Aniston: You Don't Need Man to Have a Baby

Jennifer Aniston does not believe that women have to wait -- or settle -- for a man to start a family.

Speaking at a Los Angeles press conference for her movie about artificial insemination, 'The Switch,' Aniston said that "times have changed" along with the idea of the traditional family. So if that means having one without the man in the picture, that's okay.

"Women are realizing more and more that you don't have to settle, they don't have to fiddle with a man to have that child," Aniston said. "They are realizing if it's that time in their life and they want this part they can do it with or without that."

"That," of course, meaning the man. "It's happening more and more," said Aniston.

In 'Switch,' Aniston, 41, plays a woman who elects to take on life as a single-parent through artificial insemination. When questioned, the most famous single woman on the planet said she didn't "have plans" to take the insemination option for motherhood at this time.

But she vigorously defended the rights of other single women going down that road.

Aniston even engaged in one testy exchange with a reporter who insisted that her movie character was being "selfish" having a child without a father-figure in her life. Minutes after the question was asked, Aniston circled back and insisted that family life has "evolved" from strictly "the traditional stereotype of family."

"The point of the movie is, what is that which defines family?" Aniston said. "It isn't necessarily the traditional mother, father, two children and a dog named Spot."

"Love is love and family is what is around you," she added.

Aniston also took issue with the word "selfish" in terms of the single woman moving ahead with the decision to have a child.

"I don't think it's selfish," she said. "It's quite beautiful because there are children that don't have homes that have a home and can be loved. And that's extremely important."

Aniston fielded a slew of questions about motherhood in the press conference promoting the movie about the very-topic which has dogged her in the entertainment media for year. She even dutifully answered yet another question about whether she wants to be a mother in the future.

"Yah, I've said it years before," said Aniston. "I still say it. That's today. Yah."

Big whoop!

Thanks for the info...

"Modern families" may be changing, that doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing. Being the child of single parents, divorced parents... not exactly fun. It makes for a very awkward and challenging childhood. Now I certainly don't think that couples should stay together simply because they have kids if they don't get along, but I do think you should at least try to avoid putting your kids in that situation. If it happens, it happens... but don't walk into it.

I agree that a child is better off being brought up in a single parent household versus one with a couple that is fighting or stressful and tension filled. The 50s generation didn't believe in divorce or it had more of a taboo associated with it, but many of those marriages shouldn't have been kept together just for the kids' sake.

Fuck the info. Thanks for the arse pic...

Evidently you don't need any talent to make it to Hollywood either.

pretty ignorant statement to make, raising a child is hard enough doing it by yourself makes things twice as difficult. I guess she just assumes the rest of us are millionaires like herself?

why is she giving advice again? What does she do? ohhh makes bad movies and is an attention whore right...

My parents divorced when I was young and I'm very glad they did. I think my life is better because of it. Most of my friends parents are divorced too, maybe it's just in the UK but this is pretty common + normal.

Women have been saying they dont need men for most of my life, childhood and adult, so it's nothing new at all to see that someone else said it.

In fact, you know what? Alot of shit is like that. You hear it all your life as if it's a bold statement or something out of the ordinary. But it's not. Congrats, you realised you could get sperm. Now tits or gtfo, ty.
