  • Emily Yoffe blows the big one or maybe THAT's the problem...

    This woman must be a total atheist with no friends. This Emily writer is self absorbed in her own high opinions of herself that she misses the point of the true beauty of using the secret. The only way her friends would bring her a desk, buy her desk or loan her one is if they were dropping it on her head. ( I picture the wizard of OZ.). Try ...

  • Sending Mixed Signals at the Gym?

    Its about time that someone brings attention to an annoying matter of sexual decorum, or conflicting sexual norms, found in most gyms across America: people sending mixed signals. *There's the guy who stares at you no matter where you go, even if behind him. If he was focussing on his work out, then why did he turn around to stare at you? No ...

  • Fake Letters this week.

    These letters have to be fake. I mean, the first two are straight out of the movies or off of the television. Letter #1 is about some random guy who has a fetish about being in diapers. CSI had the same thing on last season. Letter #2 is objecting to a supposed family ''tradition'' where an older unmarried sibling has to dance at the wedding of ...

  • Suggestion for Alum

    Apparently you have fantastic taste in clothes - why else would your friend be so insistant? Here's a suggestion so the shelter won't get shorted: Have your friend go through her clothing as well, and set aside everything in good condition that she's outgrown, dislikes, or doesn't wear any more. Take those, along with those items of yours she ...

  • My Friend's Husband is Cheating

    I have noticed a couple of times that the characters in the animations for the SlateV column of Dear Prudence show some racial undertones. Please don't think that I am seeking evidence of racism everywhere. It is just that I found it befuddling that the cheating wife is a black gal(afro and all), although there is no reference to that fact in the ...

  • This burns me up!

    Emily, what I think this boils down to is just another example of you acting the Smug Married. I can't find a man to love me. Maybe I'm weird looking, or I have a terrible personality, or maybe I can't meet any nice men. It doesn't really matter. Why would you have me live my life alone, with no family whatsoever? Why would you wish that on ...

  • Out of Wedlock Births

    I just finished reading the article regarding Single moms and am printing it out for my 14 year old daughter. Although, as a Christian, I'm teaching my daughter that marriage comes first, I also understand that society is teaching something totally different. This is the best article, yet, as it completely backs what I say . . . . at a societal ...

  • Out-of-wedlock births a National catastrophe

    I can hardly believe what I have just read!! Thank you Emily for putting into words what I have been watching for the past 30 years. The fall of our society has truly been through the collapse of the institution of marriage. Children were never intended to be raised without a mother and a father. From the beginning of man, there has been the ...

  • Dear Prudence Shoddy Sterotypes

    This article is a shoddy mess of overused stereotypes and snippets from letters to Dear Prudence with little to no actual supporting data. It starts out with an overly generalized statement that “we still think of the archetypal unwed mother as a Jamie Lynn Spears—a dopey teenager who dropped her panties and got in over her head.” Since I have no ...

  • Sex outside of Marriage & Man's Arrogance

    I commend Ms Yoffe for tackling a daunting, yet ignored societal crisis. The effects of this crisis are most evident in the social services offices, public schools, juvenile detention centers of America. If one has never visited or taken part there in, one can watch The Wire, Season 4, to get a fictional, yet poignant and masterful portrayal of ...
