Pat Robertson's advice to woman with flirting husband: "Make yourself attractive, don't hassle him"

Hey Pat,

What John Stewart said.

"Shut up, silly *****!"

That's probably what it would be, right?

Why is it that he always takes the questions from women with loose husbands and says to let him have fun, but never men with loose wives? Would it reveal a whole different side to Pat?

you pay attention to Pat Robertson you may not have heard this, but it ends thusly: "Shame on me."

The second time his sorry ass was out the door and my divorce will be final any day now. Kinda sad but mostly :bounce:

:grouphug:

:toast:

:hide:

where's my martini? No, not a cosmo--MAT+RTINI. Two olives, geez, how many times do I have to tell you?

Just wrap yourself up in nicer paper and ribbon and all will be well. How pathetically superficial.

Robertson is advocating women become decorative passive objects. Ugh.


I remember about 30 years ago there was a book out by some Mirabelle Morgan (I think) called Total Joy. It was chapter after chapter of how a woman should work to please her man. I read it (:rofl:) and then my husband read it. He told me if I ever acted like that he'd divorce me. Some men actually want a partner who has a mind of her own and is capable of expressing it. Doormats get boring pretty damn fast.

to meet him at the door when he comes home. Total Bullshit.

:rofl:

Example: Man cheats on wife, he is scum

Women cheats it is because the man was not pleasing her and he needs to do better.

That kind of thing in general.

Surely, "over the years" of watching you've collected more than one example. (And I'm no fan of Oprah. Her pimping of "The Secret" and its just world horseshit gagged me.)

But then I try not to watch her (kind of like someone saying 'Rush is a bigot' when they don't listen to him).

Here is more:

"Additionally, some believe there to be a clear gender bias in many of her shows, and a double standard about certain behavior. Shows about infidelity, for example, focus either on the cheating men, or on the cheated-on wives. She never talks about cheating women, and only ever mentions it in a throwaway, dismissive manner. Likewise, she has done several shows about abusive men, including child molesters, but has had on her show women who've had "affairs" with boys as young as 12 talking to them in a very candid, friendly manner about their "forbidden love" story, as well as women who admit to killing their husbands, often resulting in cheering from the female audience at the conclusion of telling their story."

It is also more evident in the subtle ways she handles issues. Is it all the time? No. Does she hate men? No. But it is obvious to most anyone who watches the show that there is a tilt on the issues. It is her show so she is free to do so.

I don't keep a log or storehouse of info on her, nor did I on bush/rush/beck/etc - You come away with an impression over time.

If it helps you I can record future shows or do more internet searches on people who spend a lot of their time recording exact shows and analyzing them. But it just is not worth my time. It is the impression I have gotten.

I don't watch her show (not my cuppa) very often, but in the last presidential election, when there was a very viable female candidate for the first time in history, she didn't just refrain from endorsing any Democratic candidate, but instead, campaigned with great enthusiasm for her chosen male candidate. I think her support was crucial (even game changing) in a pivotal state, South Carolina- when she went down there, and switched from that odd, faintly British accent she sometimes employs to her newly rediscovered Mississippi drawl, and declared, "South Carolina, I do believe he's The One!" (Not exactly anti-male, subtly or otherwise.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYjyU25bW3Y

Maybe there's a "tilt" (as you say) on the issues covered by her show, since she's a woman mostly entertaining women (thus, more likely to demonstrate a female perspective).... but she exhibits misandry equivalent to Pat Robertson's misogyny?

I'm a guy who would gladly punch that asshole in the face if I ever met him.

I'm sure he wants it to be real . . .

It's probably all your fault, anyway."

advice and went to his mistress. Can't imagine why that thought just occurred to me!

And people wonder why disasters happen in the South.

Edit...Now this guy knows his stuff...

Well ... outside of the Bush & Cheney families anyhow.

Robertson never even worked a day in his life on any real job.

And yet he feels qualified to dispense his "wisdom" at the drop of a hat.


(Ed: corrected spelling error)

just like if she gets raped it's probably her fault too. everything is the woman's fault. wonder at robertson's childhood.

....because as Paul tells us in Romans, that's what Jesus wants you to do. Praise the Almighty Dollar Lord Jesus!"

1. Stop calling an old man who hates women for marital advice.

2. Tell the husband the flirtations and little games he's playing to make you feel afraid of losing him are pointless. He stays because he loves you and wants to be with you or else he leaves. No games are needed. Whatever words are actions are required to get the point over to him do that.
