Really, Aretha's story with men is no different from countless other women's stories with men. She was not the first woman to have had children out of wedlock or to have children by different men. Look at that ditz Kim Zolciak from Real Housewives of Atlanta, four children by three different fathers. She's celebrated for it. Aretha's story is her triumph over her obstacles. By the way, Sister Ree looked good on American Idol the other night.
