Compared to Helen Thomas, she's almost cute.

If Helen Thomas and Betty Friedan were laid end-to-end--AARRGGHHHHHHH!

I am not happy someone died.

It's a shame a person would promote such a repulsive ideology as Betty did. Sorry, I hope she repented and accepted the Risen Lord.

Is this the kind of response you wanted or are you some hack who signed up today just so you could say "taliban Christians!"

The idea that women who stay home with their children are "wasting" their education is one of feminisms greatest and dirtiest lies. What are children, chopped liver?

I don't disagree but it's not for everyone. I've met some women who were horrible mothers. It just wasn't in their nature. It didn't make them worthless though. Their talents lay elsewhere.

Many men are good carpenters. I am not. But if society expected me to be a carpenter all day, I'd be unhappy and feel my strengths were wasted. It doesn't mean carpentry is a waste or a bad thing. It just means I know my limitations.

Betty Friedan just became a good feminist and a good Democrat when she assumed room temperature.

I know. I cried when I found out Hitler died. And I asked myself "why are people happy? A man died today. They must be Taliban Christians. Shame on them." It's always sad when people who are committed to the destruction of culture and society bite the dust.

puh-leaze.

"She was right and she was wrong."

Those of us who opposed her did not necessarily disagree with the problems and inequities that needed to be addressed. There are those who desire to SOLVE problems and those who EXPLOIT problems. She poured gasoline on flames. She feigned caring about women; when in fact, she and her fellow cohorts from hell cared for nothing more than self-gratification, power and every other negative self-serving attribute you can think of.

She looks like a young Helen Thomas.

Helen was born old.

The Taliban Christians don't need any help with their reputation! They are giving ALL Christians, including those that follow Jesus (remember him?) a bad name. They need to go back and read the Gospels. Jesus came to teach us that we are to love each other, even our enemies, and He went on further to let the Pharisees, the church leaders of the day, know that they were HYPOCRITES. We now have a new generation of "pharisees"; the fundamentalist hypocrites!

No, no. She made her niche in this world, and she may have helped people. Respect for the dead is appropriate. God bless her, and God keep her. Her journey is over and she will see the truth.

You know nothing about the gospels.

Betty Friedan and her followers are the enemies of Christ, I shed no tears for her.
