That was hilarious! Leaving aside the condescending, sexist idea that women are there to cook, keep house and jump into bed whenever their husband wants them to, this sentence in particular pissed me off:

All "Dr." Laura needs is a burqa and she'd fit in perfectly with Taliban-era Afghanistan.
BTW, "Dr." Laura is not a psychologist nor a psychiatrist. Her doctorate is in Physiology only. She is also a licensed MFCC (Marriage, Family, Child Counselor) but not a psychologist. This has been a great misconception of Laura Schlessinger which she has in many ways been willing to perpetuate and exploit. Even when she was in the TV listings she was being called a Psychotherapist, which is totally inaccurate. Another religious fanatic trying to pose as a professional; thus making a mockery of science in the process. Melon |

Shouldn't she be cooking or something instead of writing?

She's no worse than the opposite camp telling women they must be out in the workforce proving themselves, shattering the glass ceilings of the world, eating men for breakfast...I wish these people would all fuck off and stop telling women to adhere ot one stereotype or another. It doesn't matter which one. Be Mrs Housewife, or be Ms CEO. Just be whatever the hell makes you happy. There is nothing wrong with either. there is something wrong with individuals and groups who feel they have a civic duty to drill any stereoptype into any person, male or female.

I agree with Angela about the whole "women/men must be one or the other" and God forbid they be both. A relationship goes both ways, both have to support and respect each other. The way 'dr' laura talks it's all down to the woman to conform and sacrifice for "you know, the guy who slays dragons for her and their child every day." ![]() |

If "Dr" Laura posted here, I'd edit ignore list her.
![]() Angela, very good point. I do wonder though, why it's still so much harder for women to balance work and family. Men have never been asked to choose. sd |

Absolutely, NBC. Housework and childcare is a partnership. You've provided a good example of how sexist assumptions hurt men as well as women.

![]() Yes, marriage should ideally be a true partnership, but sadly there are many people who still don't see it that way, even younger people. I think the most influential factor is the kind of relationship your parents have, and especially the influence mothers have on sons. I think these issues should be discussed thoroughly (expectations, etc) before people get married. |
