He spanks women
He said a girl was not going to be worth anything once she is rescued from Indians.
He needs no women.. they are anchors

Can’t understand why he’s so idolized.

Especially during and after Vietnam. Such a phony.

She loved the part where he turned her over his knee and spanked her. I was maybe 10 and I realized at that time that my mother had no self esteem at all. I did not know those words however but I never took her seriously after that. She loved when women would get slapped and treated badly. It was so odd. My dad was brutal with us kids but he never touched my mother. Some women from the 30's and maybe 40's were not opposed to being treated badly apparently? I don't actually know what that is all about but I certainly never understood it.

John Wayne has been off my radar for a very long time. Makes me ill.

Bob Denver played Maynard G. Krebs in Dobie Gillis before starring in Gilligan's Island.

Warren Beatty and Tuesday Weld were also in Dobie Gillis.

And Ann B. Davis played Schotzie on "Love that Bob" before she became Alice on "The Brady Bunch."
