Mercnbeth -> RE: Dr. Laura Schlessinger --- Lifstyler?? (4/21/2008 3:31:48 PM)

haven't read any of her books...only listened to her talk show while driving long distances...the suprise and bewilderment this slave experienced while listening to her assumptions about folks based on her rigid gender stereotypes and intolerance kept this slave alert. the thing that bothers this slave the most about her rants is that they run under the assumption that ALL men are a certain way and ALL women are a certain way...if not, they need therapy or they are going to hell. while it sells a lot of books, it isn't exactly inclusive or celebratory of the diversity that exists quite happily, without the need for therapy, from within the genders she generalizes about. the sort of D/s that she espouses has been embraced by certain religious vanilla's for centuries...women(after Holy matrimony) be subservient to your man(that you are into a legal marriage contract with) while he protects and provides for you. she has referenced sadomasochism as "evil", grouping it with a few things that are against TOS to mention here. this slave wouldn't consider her an "alternative lifestyler", which is what she assumes folks mean when they say "Lifestyler". Dr. Laura presents as a bible-thumping vanilla, typically intolerant and an outspoken critic of alternative lifestyles that include sexual orientations, roles or activities that occur outside of traditional, mainstream, socially accepted and religiously approved unions/positions.
