I read with interest Kathleen Parker’s column on domestic violence (6/30, Opinion). I believe that most violence is born of frustration, caused by lack of understanding between the sexes.
The most important thing that I ever learned about relationships is that, given a problem, a man wants to do something about it and a woman wants to talk about it. If I had known this fact of life years ago, I probably would not be divorced.
Much violence could be avoided if women would follow the teachings of Dr. Laura Schlessinger in her book The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands. It shows women how they can have much more control over their lives and happiness.
Men are simple creatures who don’t understand the complex female, but respond well to a beer and some affection.

My intent was simply to inform women that men are simple creatures who don't require much, and don't understand much about females. Don't expect more than they are capable of giving. Show them you care, and a decent man will show care in return. ANYTHING YOU CRETINS READ INTO THIS OTHER THAN THAT IS COMING FROM YOUR OWN IGNORANT BIAS. By the way, once a Dr., unless your license is revoked, always a Dr. Obviously few of the writers ever listened to Dr. Laura for any length of time - her logical, statistically based arguments are hard to refute.

is Bill basically admitting in this letter that his wife divorced him because he would beat her because she didn't get him drunk and screw him enough?
that could explain some of his past postings on here

T Hanson, I thought the same thing about the beer and affection comment. Mr Moses may have intended this to benefit men's lives, but I wonder what the Star's editorial board's motiviations were. I think they envisioned a slap of our faces with such childish simplicity.

Is Mr. Moses actually saying that if women would work harder to understand their husbands, their husbands wouldn't have the justification to beat them?
Mr. Moses begins on a reasonable note by acknowledging that their is a difference between the sexes (a good point), and basically end with the assertion "Get me drunk and have sex with me, and I won't beat you".
Unbelievable...

"Men are simple creatures who don’t understand the complex female, but respond well to a beer and some affection."
Hey Bill, screw off. Your understanding of the male and female actions are took off comedy bits from sitcoms, either that or a book a fraud writes. Needless to say "Bill" your statement sounds more like a feminist that has an axe to grind.

Marriage is supposed about combined efforts and sharing good times and bad times together.
Marriage is SUPPOSED to be about togetherness. Unfortunately lawyers and bleeding hearts have turned it into a circus and geared laws to make divorce more profitable from many stances (for women).
All I can say is my wife and I have worked through the tough times and have been married for 20 years this year. My ex-wife is a prime example of the modern day mentality and fashion statement. Married and divorce 6 times. HAs a child from her native country she abandoned and left there yet touts being a good parent. Of course it was probably all the men's fault according to Obama and most of society. Marriage should be respected and couples need to remember their vows.

Are you kidding me? So what degree does the good doctor have? Is it medical? No, is it psychology? Nope, it is physiology? Yes (the study of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of living organisms).
Now then comes to fact is she a doctor, once again she has not practiced her degree in Marriage Family and Child Counseling for years and it has become inactive. So it is like calling my dad a doctor even though he has not touched a patient or gone to any medical conferences for the last 15 years.

Then of course who would forget (even though we want too) the nice photo op she took in the 1970's that showed up on the internet. . Yea, she is a model citizen to lookup to.
