To Dr Laura. One night I stumbled upon your podcast. I got through a few episodes, then, the one titled -Dysfunctional families are tearing our Country Apart. Started playing. Despite the fact that I consider myself to be what your side refers to as a “lib” I found myself agreeing with almost everything you say and the advise you give… BUT in that episode, you made a comment about feminism in the 60’s . I strongly believe you, as well as any individual who is looked up to by a large number of people, should care about the accuracy of their statements and not spread lies or repeat someone’s opinions as facts. Entertainment channels, individuals who don’t believe in science or history or stands to gain from turning as many people as they can on to their side and their way of thinking should not be a good resource. I do understand a large percentage of your audience will not care enough to do any research but they WILL repeat the inaccuracies to as many people they can (and THAT is what is tearing our Country apart) You said Feminists in the 60’s believe and wanted to convince women that they should not want to marry or have kids. What feminists have been fighting for, amongst many other things is to get rid of the negativity and judgement towards women who want to be educated, have a career, be self reliant or is just not interested in having a family. Feminists believe women should have an education so they don’t have to rely on government programs in order to feed their kids because they now are single mothers and the 3 jobs they have don’t cut it (I believe your side believes people who need assistance are losers) When the man whom a woman was pressured into marrying (because it’s wrong for her not to want marriage or kids.) leaves her, turns out to have anger issues, is a drug addict , an alcoholic a womanizer or just an awful parson and the relationship fell apart, she will need to support herself and maybe a few kids. Not ALL women dream of being married or have kids and in a sane, empathetic world, that should be ok. There are PLENTY of women who want to be a wife and a mother and no one is saying they should not. What they are fighting for is the right for a woman to not want that. I wish we could just accept people for who they are as long as they are not harming anyone. But I know some believe if you don’t think, worship, love, look or behave as they do, they are causing harm and must be changed. We ALL should have the right to live our life as we want. I strongly believe a woman who doesn’t care for having kids should NOT have kids. I know many women who felt judged because they wanted a career and didn’t care for marriage so got married and was absolutely miserable. Do you think that’s good for the kids? On the other hand, I know women who are educated, self reliant and single. They are very happy and would never want to be married. Don’t generalize, just because one person might have said something, it doesn’t mean every person of their color, religion, etc. is exactly the same. Saying everyone think, react, or feel the way you do because you did, is selfish. I doubt you’ll read all of this but it was therapeutic to write it.
