So Dennis Prager believes married women should say 'yes'- nearly always.
When a Woman Isn't in the Mood: Part I


A woman who often deprives her husband of her body is guaranteed to injure him and to injure the marriage — no matter what her female friends say, no matter what a sympathetic therapist says, and no matter what her man says.

Every rational and decent man knows there are times when he should not initiate sex. In a marriage of good communication, a man would either know when those times are or his wife would tell him (and she needs to — women should not expect men to read their minds. He is her man, not her mother.)

If this is true, men really are animals.

Correct. Compared to most women's sexual nature, men's sexual nature is far closer to that of animals. So what? That is the way he is made. Blame God and nature.

Terrific. Insult both men AND women by claiming that men are uncontrollable animals. And when you want to see your kids in a divorce, see how good this argument works. Can't wait for Part 2.

1. At least he's not speaking at the inauguration. But Rick Warren agrees with him that wives should..
"submit."

contact your doctor immediately."

7. What if your doctor already has a boyfriend?
Another cure for erections lasting longer than four hours could be reading a two-part Dennis Prager column.

4. Breaking News from 2011: World Court sentences Osama bin Laden to marry Dennis Prager
"The Death Penalty is too kind a punishment for vile terrorists like bin Laden," the sentencing justice in The Hague stated, "only a lifetime of marital conjugation with Dennis Prager can adequately punish you for the evil you have wrought on humanity."

5. Typical prager. Want some more: read this - Our Father Is No ‘It’ or Gal God
An article by the bigot arguing against a female god.

http://articles.latimes.com/2005/jun/19/opinion/op-faith19

First, God is the source of moral rules. As the feminist thinker Carole Gilligan argued years ago, men think more in terms of rules, and women think more in terms of feelings/compassion/ intuition. There is a great human need for both. But, first and foremost, the Judeo-Christian God is a moral ruler (giver of moral rules and moral judge of humanity), and neither men nor women want to be given rules or ruled by a woman. For both men and women, the masculine image carries an authority that the feminine one does not. Almost any mother can testify to the declining moral authority she has over her children as they get older and how much more authority a male has.

12. Yr kidding right? My Dad was the softie teddy bear, mom was scary!!
Seriously, being raised in the 60s my sis and I had the stay-at-home mom who just had to glare for us to stop our wild behavior. We always knew we could get around Dad.

What kind of stupid man really believes he has more disciplinary authority than someone's mother???

16. Prager's schtick is patriarchy. Periodically he gives women a break and turns to bash blacks..
but his black bashing is couched as concern for the African-American. he's sick.

21. By the by, female deities have been around a lot longer than just male ones.
A LOT longer.

And here he resurrects the idea that women are irrational beings while men are strictly logical. Yet, in the OP, he claims that men are 'closer to animals'. Ok, which is it?

15. Oh, I get it.
It's all his wife's fault. She didn't want to do her wifely duty after dealing with scut work all day and she drove him into the arms of a male prostitute.

Prager reminds me why I live with a cat.

20. Isn't it amazing?
For those that don't wish to click- "Dennis Prager Announces End of His Marriage Live On His Show" is the title of that thread.

Whether it's Bill Bennett caught gambling while writing a book of virtues, or Newt Gingrich leaving his cancer-stricken wife, or Larry Craig busting Bill Clinton's chops for "being a naughty boy" back in the day, while he himself won't be getting anything from Santa this year, these bastards are all the same.

So quick to judge, so free with advice, so hypocritical.

22. That's why I went looking..........
When I saw the OP, I remembered faintly reading something about Prager and divorce, and so I googled "Prager divorce," and it really entertained me when I found that at freeperland.

Surprise. The biggest "paragons of virtue," as they fancy themselves, are the worst offenders, the least saintly.

We have to keep pounding them with this. O'Reilly and his sexual advances on that young woman who was smart enough to tape him is a prime example. Enough with being polite - Keith Olbermann is a great example of holding that dingbat's feet to the fire. We've all got to do that with these people. Just because our man won the election, just because we've got a majority in Congress, just because we're in charge now doesn't mean that they're going to back off.

We just have to learn to pound these people over the head with their own words, their own deeds.

Merry Christmas to you.

8. Well, Eve ate the apple, and made Adam eat it too!
Edited on Thu Dec-25-08 03:06 PM by liberalmuse
Once she ate that apple, she stopped being a woman and turned into a sex-provider-and-baby-producing organism. Of course, whenever Adam wasn't in the mood, they simply did not have sex.

13. "...baby-producing organism"
I read that as "...baby-producing orgasm." I suppose it makes as much sense as the rest of the B.S. they spout.

9. On the other hand, a man should respect a woman's body
If a woman is ill or on her moon and feeling painful, it is not a good idea to demand sex. And the man should know this by communicating with his wife--this communication thing should be a two way street.

I find it interesting that this person seems to think that a man has a right to sex anytime. The Bible says that a couple is not to have intercourse at certain times--so even the Bible insists that men curtail their desires.

who actually wanted to have sex with him.

19. I give my mistress pleasure whenever called upon.
Ok, that's a slight distortion. I have three mistresses. When any one of them wants a belly-rub, an extra dose of 'nip or the catbox cleaned, I jump right up and do her will. Not sure where this falls on the Prager-Scale of required obeisance.

24. And in contrast, what would a healthy relationship look like?
Well, first of all, no one would be forcing something on the other that they did not want at that moment ("for better or worse" ring a bell Dennis?).

Secondly, women are fully human as are men, and capable of extremes of sexual satisfaction just like men. Just because this guy has never seen a woman's deep sexuality, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

And finally, if you have to constantly ask for it, there's just something wrong. Solve that problem first. His 'advice' is simply terrible. And what's tragic is there are many couples who'll agree to this.

26. Prager once criticized Halle Berry for complaining about racism
he seemed to be saying just because of her looks she should not complain because she has it better than most white people based on looks.

as if attractive woman don't want to be judged on what they are able to do , character etc rather than just physical appearance.

28. if a wife isn't in the mood for sex with her husband
she should try to see if another man gets her in the mood. maybe the problem isn't that a woman "isn't in the mood." maybe she isn't in the mood to have sex with her husband. if she's in the mood with another man, she should then tell her husband about being in the mood with another man and explain what that other man did that "put her in the mood" so that her husband could try those same things.

I think my advice is as valid as his (in other words, both are stupid.)

You can all send your money to The Church of RainDog. thanks.
