Funny thing: I was listening to Rush Limbaugh the other day, and don’t you know, every single person who called in agreed with everything he said! This is clear proof that everyone in America is a Republican.
I used to use “Hamadryad” or “Dorable Dora” as my nic back in the day… then I went to “Heinlein’s Doxy” which I then shortened to just plain ol’ “Doxy”! LOL
Dr. Drew from Loveline used to say that women who had a high speaking voice were speaking that way because they were likely molested, and using their ‘little girl’ voice because of that. I think that kind of psuedo-psychology deserves to be laughed at heartily. Fuck Dr. Drew.
I remember that. I think I started a thread about it a couple years back because it sounded so weird.
Actually, sometimes I’ll just do the little girl/cutesy baby voice for fun. Not with everyone or all the time but for fun. If Loveline were still around, I’d be so tempted to call in with that voice, wait for D. Drew to go, “Were you molested?” and then to respond, “NO, IN YOUR FACE MOTHERFUCKER!” (In the cute voice, of course.)
The show is stupid and the whole “molestation” thing operates on the same principle as a phone psychic. Those who want to belieeeeeeve in the powah of Dr. Drew will remember all the times he said someone was molested and was right. They forget the many, many times he was wrong. The times when he has insisted to some poor woman that whether she admits it or not she was molested. I suppose the true believers just think, like Dr. Drew does, that the woman is in denial.
I eventually got the impressioin from Dr. Drew that if someone had a hangnail, he’d claim it was because they’d been molested. It was ridiculous. And I do remember him responding with a more or less “if you say so” attitude if the caller said they hadn’t been molested, if not outright claiming that they either didn’t want to admit it or had suppressed the memory.
