My response to "Katy Perry Says She Doesn't Need a Man to Become a Mom"

From Woman's Health:

Katy Perry's been a poster child for girl power her entire career, which is why we're not surprised to hear the entertainer say she's more than willing to tackle motherhood—with or without a partner at her side.
"I want to be doing that in the right time," the singer shares in the latest issue of Rolling Stone. "And that's not in the next two years, you know? Maybe it's in a five-year plan, but I need to really be able to focus 100 percent of my attention on it. I don't really want to take the child on tour. Not until, like, birth through five is over."
We like her perspective on motherhood—and the fact that she's so honest and unapologetic about it. There's no shame in wanting to focus as much love and attention on a kid as you possibly can (and waiting to have children until you can do that).
Katy's also got great perspective on 21st-century options when it comes to wanting and caring for children. "I don't think I'll have to [have a guy], but we'll see," she says. "I'm not anti-men. I love men. But there is an option if someone doesn't present himself."

Katy, do us all a favor. Find the right guy first, don't be the celebrity who finds a donor. I obviously don't know this first hand, but gosh darn it, if I was a woman wanting to have a kid, I'd want a guy in my life. And this is my double standard: Katy Perry knows better. She's from a good home of all things.

ON THE OTHER HAND....

The redneck in me is screaming "Don't she need a guy to make a kid with????"

UPDATE 1/24/15: Katy Perry and John Mayer MIGHT be getting back together. Let me say this: they're cute together!
