Cape Times:
“‘Dr Laura’ is little-known in Britain but has millions of fans in America. This, her seventh and most provocative work, advocates that women who don’t want to lose their men should supply them with sex and food on demand.” I’m speechless. Simply speechless.

Hmmm, I smell oversimplification. But if the paragraph starting with “The answer is a change in female attitudes.” is accurate, it may not be very much oversimplification.
Reminds me of a conversation at work my wife relayed to me, though it’s not directly related. She overheard one married woman invite another to do something, and the second said, apparently totally seriously, that she was grounded. “Grounded? I thought you were married, not living with your parents.” my wife says, and my wife is informed that this women’s husband grounded her for something or other. Apparently the other women’s husband does that too.
You know I’d usually class myself a conservative, and my wife is too, but this boggled our minds, although we had great fun “grounding” each other for various minor infractions the next week or so (The best/worst was when I grounded her from going with a friend to see July 4th fireworks in a plane; I was subsequently grounded for making a bad pun.)
No wonder so many marriages fail. (Then, we’re both pretty independent. Attempts by either of us to dominate the other through sheer power don’t end well Wouldn’t have it any other way, either. I suppose other people may need other things; but I can’t imagine being in a “parental” relationship for an entire life as good for anyone.)
