Sweet Jesus, Snoopy, why would I want to read that old bat’s drivel? She annoys the everlovin’ snot out of me. I’d rather read that FlyLady book about the pride I ought to take in a shiny sink, the joys of “blessing” my family, and the benefits of wearing lace-up shoes at all times.
I could care less about Dr. Laura or her book, I was just responding to CF’s question. (I have to say, though, given the other shit that woman tends to spew, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if she is advocating the idea of “wifely duties.”)
Ginger has a sister?
Um…invite her to the party.
Please?
I knew it! It was the foreskin guy!
CCL, you’re priceless. Simply priceless…
I’m not 18, bitch.
Me either
And you never went to a movie that just your SO wanted to see?
You’re not?
I could have sworn.
I’ve read the quoted material and your question no less than seven times, AcidKid. What on earth does one have to do with the other?
Not that I can think of, no. Why in the world would I spend my time and money sitting through something I didn’t want to see and wouldn’t enjoy? And why would he want me to spend my time and money sitting through something I didn’t want to see and wouldn’t enjoy?
I have on occasion gone to see stuff in the theater with him when my inclination was to wait for it to come out on video, but in those cases I had at least some desire to see the movie in the first place.
And even if I had sat through some god-awful movie he wanted to see and I didn’t, it would be because I chose to, not because I was obligated to.
Yeah, how anachronistic…
I know it’s Fox news, but this just shows that they can be as capable bomb-throwing muckrakers as any other major news outlet. If Schlessinger says this in her new book, it represents a near-180º departure from what she says on her show.
From what I hear (I catch the show perhaps 4 or 5 times a month), she advises that marriage is entered into with an expectation of physical intimacy. The most I have ever heard her offer to women to “just do it” (never phrased that way) is “If you don’t have an objection to orgasms, perhaps you can try and get into it anyway. You might find yourself enjoying it, and actually have an orgasm. Wouldn’t that make it worth talking yourself into it?” DISCLAIMER: This is not a direct quote - I’m paraphrasing.
For women, men, or couples who have ongoing problems with sex, she always advises counseling. The closest she gets to the allegation the article is trying to pin on her is that married people have an obligation to have an active intimate life. But trust the media to spin that in the near-opposite direction just to rile people up.
