Jillian, you are a great listener and even better communicator. Love the skill and grace.

[blackbuttecruizr]

Great conversation, and way to talk to someone you have a disagreement with in a respectful manner.

[BookZealots]

One can disagree with something because it isn't their lifestyle, but it doesn't change the facts. She agrees, but then disagrees; it makes her uncomfortable because she isn't doing it.
No, not all of us grow up with "perfect" fathers. What does that even look like? None of us is perfect, but it's still important to have a healthy male figure in the family for boys to look up to and learn from, a Grandfather or uncle. Or once upon a time, Big Brother, Big Sister was an option. Is that program still around?

[lizkt]

I was so impressed with jillian during this part. She could have taken it personally and been very upset. But she listened and even agreed with where he was coming from. Amazing

Both mothers and fathers matter. For those arguing that fathers can be horrible, imagine having two “fathers” and no mother?

[heatison]

I've worked in jails and prisons and law enforcement for 10 years, beyond a shadow of a doubt, most of the criminals I came across never had a father in their life, or were primarily raised by single moms, its a huge probelm

[dana.]

We need more conversations like this. Great job.

[sarx]

Ms. Michaels, I respect your willingness to listen. That is a sign of a good interviewer who wants to engage in meaningful discourse.

[mirabella]

The importance of having a GOOD father. A lot have fathers that damaged them.

[dinchy]

Instead of father, I'd say "father figure". My cousin grew up fatherless (his father died in a war) and his grandfather raised him into a mature responsible young man. It can also be a stepfather, uncle, older brother, or anyone else close to him who will guide him and pass him the qualities Matt mentioned and explained...

[nova]

Correction: good fathers are indispensable. Abusive fathers are dispensable.

[egomez]

When my mom couldn't discipline me, she had my dad in her back pocket. They've shown single mother homes vs. single father homes. Single father clears. You need to pick a partner logically for your kids' sake, not who gives you the most butterflies. A boy is going to struggle growing up with two moms and vis versa. They model behavior

[jsin]

I'm really loving Ms. Michaels conversations as of lately with "the opposition"! She has been wonderful and respectful. Very impressive

[stfclm]

Jillian is clearly an intelligent woman; why does she understand, agree, then disagree? Because reality questions our opinions and shows their inconsistencies. She should draw a conclusion she is not prepared to accept: at the very least that a homosexual couple should not have kids, because either the father or the mother figure cannot be there and mother and father have two complementary but different roles for their kids. The desires of adults (gay AND straight) should come second to the needs of kids.

Would the risk-taking explain young men being reckless in relationships?

[tommyrq]

In primate cultures, as described by famous anthropologist Lionel Tiger, the primary task of the tribe is the “control of the adolescent male.” Of course, Lionel transmutes that to human culture and he’s right. The primary methods of controlling the adolescent male are male maturation rituals, the military, and marriage. All three tame the beast to orient the male psychology to assuming the key social role of male leadership. Subordination to authority, taming courage to serve society, protection of females and offspring, and the capacity for limiting violence between other males—all are key to a civilized society that is also capable of defending itself against monsters from the outside.

[henkverhaeren]

I think Jillian Michaels is a much better father than so many of the fathers I see and know.

[htpeck]

Take your point but gangs come in all colors.

[michaelhood]

I love that Jillian is open to speaking with anyone, even people who might not believe in the same things as her… and still be able to have a rational conversation, listen intently and respond with respect.

I forget this players name, but once saw a documentary about a football player from WAY back who had 9 children, 8 of them daughters. If his only son said "I 8 siblings all of the same sex" then the obvious follow up would be "8 brothers or 8 sisters" and everyone would see a huge difference between the two answers. If the father in that family said that all but one of his 9 children were the same sex, everyone would follow up with "do you have a ton of sons, or a ton of daughters.

So whether the people in your household are male or female is consequential when we're talking about family members who are yur children, or family members who are your siblings, and nobody disagrees. With parents though, it suddenly makes no difference? why? well because I typed what I want to believe into the google search bar, and scrolled until I found a headline about a study which validated the point of view that I was actively trying to convince myself of.
