But then they can’t play the victim card. Hard for women on here to take accountability that it might just be them and not always their husband.


There are PLENTY of people who give advice that is grounded in the fact that you can only change yourself. And any are from people who don’t offer advice like “be soft and sweet,” and “be a SAHM if you can.” Bonus: they have also never said the n word, gone on anti-Islamic tirades, think that gay couples should be able to adopt, and believe in the concept of marital rape.


Not all conservatives believe this and there are plenty of liberals and women who have used the N word and have gone on anti-Semitic rants.

They act like they are gods gift to the world and are somehow superior simply because they’re a woman. Most of them are very foul and very masculine. Conservative women tend to be more lady like and feminine. They tend to enjoy simple a more simple life or raising kids and being a wife without feeling like their some kind of slave or victim for being in a “ traditional” role.


Not true and I'm a balanced person, not liberal.

Great! Just pick an advice-give who hasn’t gone in racist and anti-Semitic rants.

Woman here. All self help books are stupid. Psychologist are typically some of the craziest people in the world. I know several psychologists who are more messed up then their patients. I never trust a book written by a so called “ expert”.

You're either a troll or a very weak woman.


Did you read the book?


Just calling out the troll. Are you the troll?

Love this letter to Dr. Laura in response to her opinion that gay people are "mistakes of nature."

Dear Dr. Laura,

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.

a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?

e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an Abomination (Lev 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this?

g) Lev 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev 19:27. How should they die?

i) I know from Lev 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev 24:10-16) Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging.

Lets not forget that intelligence or morality has nothing to do with division of liberals and conservatives, there are both type of people on both sides. This stupid division is what's wrong with us.

I think most of those books in general are silly, but I have a very traditional marriage. I enjoy taking care of my husband pleasing and that includes cooking for him, sex usually whenever he wants, and alone time for him and us as a couple. In return he is a provider for our family. This doesn’t mean he is lazy - he does a lot of cooking, cleaning, and helping raise our kids, but I do think we have more defined roles and it works for us. He supports and respects me and I do the same for him. You would be surprised how easy supportive and loving a husband is when he has a wife who appreciates and respects him.


omg.. this made me barf. But, ok, you do you.

-signed happily married for 20 yrs woman


To each their own but it works for us. Some women actually enjoy being caretakers for their family. Sounds like you’re not one of them. I’m glad you felt like you needed to respond like a 5 year old. It shows your level of maturity.

Everybody has some good points but yes liberals won't acknowledge anything good in conservative values and vice versa. No surprise in that.


Didn't she have a 9 year affair with a married man that broke his marriage? Is this a "good conservative value"? Same with the gubernatorial candidate from OR who is married and a swinger.


Oh, but if that woman had read her book, her husband wouldn't have cheated with Laura for a decade . She's a dumb SeeYouNextTuesday.

Well, so did Einstein with her cousin while he was married from 1912-1919 and married her right after his divorce, did't take part in raising his children. That never stopped anyone from acknowledging his work. Trump and Clinton weren't actually into fidelity either.

I don’t need Dr Laura to tell me that. Pretty common sense.
