I listened to her for awhile during evening drive time. After hearing her pattern of dealing with callers, I think I kept listening because I couldn’t believe women still kept calling, but call they did. The whole dynamic got depressing and creepy. I got sick of listening to Laura’s verbal abuse, and the women meekly accepting it.

I just don't like hosts, radio or otherwise, who give callers all of 5 seconds before jumping in. It must be a difficult balance for radio and TV hosts. They've got to be more talkative than the average person or there's no show. But the good ones also know when to shut up.
Another person who makes me crazy is Charlie Rose. He's a lousy interviewer, and he never fails to interrupt his guests at the worst moment.
To: Glenmerle
Charlie always takes 5 or 10 minutes to ask a question too. If he wants to natter on and on, why even have guests?

Didn't strike me that people who took her advice would end up very happy.One of her wise points was that sometimes happiness isn't the highest goal.
But yes, she can be abusive to callers. I get the impression that she thinks it makes "good radio." Confrontation and tension being good in today's world.
To: najida
She is what she is...and there is nothing good in her.
I disagree. I think there's a lot of good in her. I think she struggles with it like we all do, but in her case, the good has mostly triumphed and made her a steadfast champion of traditional values.
I'll bet she's done more to help people in dysfunctional relationships than the top 1,000 "conventional" marriage and family therapists in the world combined.

To: Antoninus
Thanks for the link. I really like this guy, and the more I read about him and hear him, the more I like him. He's got a no-nonsense, streetwise way about him -- without trying to be "cool" about it or caving to the popular culture.

Charlie always takes 5 or 10 minutes to ask a question too.Doesn't that drive you nuts? And you can see his guests getting fidgety as he babbles on and on.
To: jetson
Yeah, that’s an attitude that inspires loyalty & fidelity.

suffer and starve myself and exercise but I do it for me. My intention is not to embarrass you...truly...but that comment is so revealing and it is typical of the mindset of women these days. Why wouldn't you do it for your husband? Why wouldn't you starve and exercise for you AND your husband? I keep myself nice for me and my husband...sometimes I do it JUST for my husband. And that's the point. Women expect men to do everything for them, and then push their feelings off as trivial. It's one of the reasons we are where we are.
Men are simple creatures...if women got that, there would be alot more happy couples.

Apparently your way of thinking is now considered “self-loathing” by most American women.

I think you’ve nailed it with a velvet hammer.

Good for you (and I mean it!).
Just understand that not everyone was so blessed. Constant criticism has consequences.

Uh ... no. When it comes to the current subject, she has expressed an insight so rare that few see it as such, or are willing to admit it’s true (maybe not in all cases, but certainly not none).

Whatever it is...I’m a happy camper..my husband’s a happy camper...I know what I know! And Dr. Laura is right 99% of the time.

My hubby does not demand a certain weight from me. He gives me unconditional love. I am the one that can't stand being anything but a certain size.

People who take care of themselves, mentally, physically and spiritually, tend to be happy campers. There must be a connection there.
To: colorado tanker
Once a single mom she would tell them they had to give up romance until the kids were grown. Didn't strike me that people who took her advice would end up very happy. She tells all single parents that. Dr. Laura's concern is not for the parents..it's for the child. She believes that it is more important for a single parent to put all their focus on the child, instead of being distracted by boyfriends and girlfriends and the potential damage done by bringing strangers in and out of children's lives. She says that the child's life has been disrupted enough..it's not about the feelings of the parent, once you have children, it's about them. She very consistent with this ideal.
