"You should treat your husband with respect even though he's a primitive creature interested only in food sports and sex."

No Dr Laura, it's just that we aren't interested in much of the same nonsense that many women are.

Women aren't always interested in nonsense (and unless they're leftists, older women are usually more sensible than younger ones!).

I'd rather spend an evening with my husband talking about the best leadership strategies for his Cub Scout den (after all, it could help me with my Brownie Girl Scouts, and some of the Cubs are my sons ...), than talking about "my feelings." And we can watch a John Wayne video at the same time ... although if I've had a few glasses of wine, you'll have to listen to me go on about how my Dad is just like John Wayne ...

In summary, stereotypes are harmful for all relationships ... both feminist stereotypes, and Dr. Laura's minimalist view of men.
