"For what it’s worth, I don’t like Bitch Lab, I don’t read her, I don’t think she’s very bright, and I think the main thing she piggybacked on recently was a comment thread to a post she didn’t author. Nice appropriation, that. ... Don’t like Bitch Lab? Join the club, and don’t read her. Read the women she rips off instead. They’re better." - Ilyka Damen

Thanks for the props and, well, now you know…
The dirty little trans secret is that we all transition to potentially get into the prison we really, really, really want. That and the better branding opportunities, of course.
branding! ha!
I had no idea that this was the dirty little secret. I wonder if Ken Lay might try this, hmmm.
What annoyed me is that it’s not like they don’t screen the calls. you know? They always talk about screening them and Drew reads from his little reader about who the next caller is.
So, it wasn’t _just_ that the caller is fucked up, it’s that Dr. Dreeeuuuuwww and his staff are perfectly willing to put the guy on the show so Drew’s sidekick comedien can have fun making jokes like, “Go to Mexico. You won’t have cut off your dick!”
There are so many other things to fight that are worse, but damn some kind of action against Drew is in order.
this is where the humor can be problematic too. There’s a cultural studies or rhetoric dissertation in this I swear. The way the humorous sidekick reinforces conservative cultural messages every step of the way on that fucking show.
God. It’s Friday! I’ll have to wait 48 hours until Sunday rolls around and I can get in my nightly 2 hours of disgust with Dr. Dreeuuww.
aha!! so that’s your chewing-on-tinfoil love-to-hate-ya indulgence, izzit. Dr. Dreeeuuuw. never listened to ‘im. should I?
yoga is a good thing.
BTW, I read your latest and here’s what i say:
{{{{{{{HUGZ XOXOXOXOXOX}}}}}}}
I think, if the blogosphere is bugging you lately, you shouldn’t listen to Dreeuuww.
the eeuuww is because he gets squicked out about facials and anal. I know: not your thang, but you can identify with the offense I take to this fucker because I can’t stand it when someone with a DR in front of his names tries to write off certain kinds of sex as clinically “bad” because a DR said it. When all it amounts to is : he doesn’t underrstand it and he doesn’t like it.
You know? yes. you do.
And when it comes to BDSM, all he can ever do is medicalize it. They are Sick People ™.
Once, a young woman called to say she’d been dating a guy. One night, the two go out with another couple and have a good time. Back at the apartment, more partying. She and her friend got sleepy and went to bed. Woke up to find the two bf’s bonking.
Dr. Drew’s immediate question is: did your folks abuse you? Alcoholism in the family?
IOW, he’s constantly explaining everything bad in a person’s life by looking at a family history of drugs, addictions, abuse. Got hammer? Find nails to pound EVERYWHERE.
She couldn’t have hooked up with a guy for the reasons any one does and he turns out to be a shit because — well, shockingly enough, this happens fairly regularly to people who are not victims of abuse or addiction.
She has to have been scared by abuse as a kid and, therefore, attracts them. He has an “ok” sophisticated account of how abuse survivors “attract” such fools, but it is annoying as all get out that he immediately looks for ABUSE. I mean, he just doesn’t look: he’s digging for anything and keeps asking questions about everything to find abuse where it might not otherwise be found. Were you a latch key kid who felt lonesome after school. ABUSE!
here’s a thought: the relatively new BF was an asshole. he cheated on her in a rel. with an expectation of monogamy. End of story.
But nooooooooooo. Because you know, he would NEVER have asked the same question about abuse had the guy cheated on her with a woman.
The guy was gay (heaven forbid he was bi) and was on the down-lo and, therefore, she attracts gay guys who are on the down-lo because: ABUSE SURVIVOR.
Really, in Dreeeeeeeuuuuwwww’s world, everyone is an abuse survivor but him. I swear.
Ah, yeah…Drew freakin’ Pinsky…..Oprah’s former favorite “sex therapist” (well, at least until Sue Johannsen and “Dr. Phil” came along).
Oh, but he’s a real good one….I remember him all too well from the 90s when he did a similar program for MTV called “Loveline” where he, a female sidekick, and comedian Adam Corolla (playing the role of the dirty young man), would take calls from mostly young MTV viewers on sex and relationship issues.
His usual sctick was mostly the same old and tired mantra: sexual experimentation is absolutely WRONG outside of seeking “intimacy” and “love” (read, a future bride); porn is the crack addiction of men and the oppressor of women; and any girl who willingly even dresses to appeal to a man directly is a prima facie slut/whore and/or an assumed victim of abuse or drugs or alcoholism.
All “Dr. Drew” is is the neoliberal equivalent of “Dr. Laura”…but without the open homophobia and fundamentalist Christian rhetoric.
Great to see that I’m not the only one that sees his bullcrap for what it is.
