A friend with remarkably low self-esteem gave me one of Dr. Laura's books and said that it changed her perspective forever - my friend said it was the greatest self-help book she ever read. I am a staunch feminist and the first fifteen pages was a plethora of vile, insulting comments about women and how they behave. It was remarkably ugly and judgmental. I was so offended I took the book back to my friend the next day and told her how I felt and that I didn't like not-so-know-it-all women taking pot shots at other women to make money and gain fame.
That is what I know of Dr. Laura.

I totally agree. This is probably going to really offend (was it
carol?) but I think if any woman deserved to be called by this offensive
term it's Dr. Laura, "What a fucking CUNT!"

Yes, he continues by saying "So there will be no blaming
Mother tonight." I always love watching the two of them
compare their psychological styles.

I'll just point out for the record that this is not true.
She does have some fairly extreme opinions, though.
Don't bother to respond as I have signed off this list.
Roxy
Then I'd suggest you not call.
< not even a doctor>
She has a PhD.
<What a contemptible hypocrite.>
That she is not. Extreme, yes. Hypocritical, no.
Don't respond. I am not here anymore.
