Promiscuity, Abortion, and the Love of Money are what ultimately tainted 2nd Wave Feminism. But there are plenty of women who have not squandered the doors it opened. Think: incredible female athletes for starters. Who would have thought it'd be the so called 'conservatives' saving Title IX from extinction from the looney left trans movement.

It’s ironic that the late Phyllis Schlafly, pretty much embodied all of the traits that feminists claimed a woman should be.

The Cray Cray Mystique

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Schlafly was a warrier babe turned warrier general, and always a woman!

[Petrosius]

Like much of liberalism and feminism, the author fails or denies that women’s work is limited by her biology. For most women, unless they abandoned the care of their children to others or deny their children life, ether through birth control or abortion, they will be tied to a series of children for the nine months of child bearing and the following time of nursing. The traditional home industries than women engaged in took this into account; the modern push for women to work outside of the home shoulder to shoulder with men does not.

Betty Friedan would have been proud.

The biblical prescription for women’s role in society worked well for thousands of years. Rachel Wilson’s book “Occult Feminism” outlines the satanic roots of feminism. Very interesting read.

women, generally self-centered and delusional

always victims, so tedious

I don't think that's fair. It's just that 98% of them make the sane 2% look bad.

I'm only kidding

the ‘mystery’ is gone and “victoria’s secret” is out.

the overwhelming majority of unattached women are 304s with body counts in the hundreds, no loyalty, and will drop a guy the moment a better option comes along.

especially college educated and/or liberal women

ungrateful parasites ...

It’s ironic that the late Phyllis Schlafly, pretty much embodied all of the traits that feminists claimed a woman should be.

And they did nothing but vilify her.

Feminists must be feminist on the left's terms, just like blacks have to be blacks on the left's terms or they're *not really black*.

The left doesn't care about a woman who makes it like they claim is the epitome of a *real woman*.

All they care about is another public figure to carry their water for them.

Interesting how Proverbs 31 is virtually ignored by feminists and frankly Christians as well.

The churchianity ideal of a woman doesn’t quite match up with the wife of noble character.

How is that any different from men?

[No name given]

It ISN’T at all.

[ansel12]

Women and men are two different sexes.

[No name given]

Exactly.

[metmom]

Yeah?

And what? Men are allowed to be hypocrites by expecting standards from women they aren’t willing to hold to themselves?
