I don't know who Robi Ludwig is, but when I heard about this shooting & watched the YouTube video...about how much he hated women....that's the first thing I thought of. All that hatred sends up a lot of red flags.

First thing I thought was that he hated women because they didn't want anything to do with him.

Not because he was struggling with gay tendencies.

Exactly.

Ditto!

Hatred for women indicates a person may be g@y? G@y men don't hate the opposite scks, they're just not attracted to them. Big difference.

Exactly.

Maybe the shrink was given the boot because she's not very bright.

I haven't read the manifesto.....and I'm not a psychologist......so I don't know where she came up with her "question" about his possible tendencies. It was something that obviously crossed her mind and she said it. I don't see any big deal. She didn't make any blanket statements against homosexuals, etc. And for all we know, she could be correct. But there's no way to know now. I just don't see what she said as offensive or anything. I'm sure there are many who struggle and are in denial every day.

Gay men do NOT hate women.

Nobody said they do. Calm down.

Tempest in a teapot. Tomorrow, yet another public figure will say something that will offend thousands of people & there'll be a whole new topic for a thread here.

It was Coldwell Banker who fired her...not Fox. I copied this from the net:

Dr. Robi Ludwig is a psychologist who appears on major TV news networks to offer her analysis and medical opinion on a wide-range of topics surrounding the family, relationships, and domestic violence. On Saturday Dr. Ludwig drew outrage after telling millions of Fox News viewers that Elliot Rodger, the 22-year old shooter who was responsible for the deaths of seven people Friday night in Santa Barbara, might have been fighting “homosexual impulses.”

“When I was first listening to him, I was like, ‘Oh, he’s angry with women for rejecting him,’” Ludwig told Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro and her viewers. “And then I started to have a different idea: Is this somebody who is trying to fight against his homosexual impulses?’”

Of course, as practically every news report mentioned, Elliot Rodger had left a 141-page manifesto and YouTube videos admitting that he was a 22-year old virgin who was angry for being consistently rejected by women, and at no time did he every suggest he was g*y or struggling with his sexual identity, yet Dr. Ludwig chose to insert the “question” of his being g*y into the discussion.

Ludwig has also appeared on the Wendy Williams Show, Good Morning America, Fox 5 in New York City, and Showbiz Tonight.Dr. Ludwig’s bio states she “is a regular contributor to the Today Show as well as CNN, Headline News, The Fox News Channel and TruTv where she talks about psychological/lifestyle issues as well as the criminal mind. She also appears on national shows such as: The Bill Cunningham Show, E!, Regis and Kelly, Oprah, The View, Bill O’Reilly, and Hannity and Colmes, helping audiences and guests alike to understand the complexities of the human condition.”

She is also the lifestyle real estate correspondent for Coldwell Banker Real Estate, one of the top real estate firms in the country, “providing professional insight and commentary on the real estate experience.”

Or, she was.

“Dr. Robi’s comments on the tragedy in Santa Barbara do not represent the opinions of Coldwell Banker. Therefore at this time we feel it best to part ways with her as our lifestyle real estate correspondent,” Coldwell Banker wrote on Facebook in response to L G B T activist and founder of Memeographs, Scott Wooledge, who had contacted them to check if she was their spokesperson.

Thank you Emma for printing the whole story.

Some people are in such a hurry to run down Fox it's incredible.

Gay men do NOT hate women.

But SOMETIMES they hate themselves. I imagine that's what the psychologist was trying to say.

I don't think what she said was a big deal. Her assessment of the shooter being hsxual is an interesting view....he killed 6 people, so I'm not crying over it.....

....and I think this guy had a personality disorder (which a person is born with basically) and other social/pathological issues as well....what a nut.....
