That said, I cannot find a single good word to speak of her.
Another rich commie bites the dust.
Goodbye, Betty you had a good life.
We won't have to see your ugly mug anymore.
Has the NYT published their usual "she was the greatest women who ever lived" Obit yet?
While not "glad" Friedan is gone, I am not "sad," either. She left a legacy that has screwed up so many women.
In fairness, the "women's movement" had healthy beginnings. There were injustices to women, and many intellectual women had trouble adjusting to traditional roles & expectations. Thanks to feminism, these women could find other avenues of expression, creatively & professionally. Some women really are happier being in careers than maternity outfits.
Unfortunately, the story of the feminist movement became the tail wagging the dog. As Friedan herself had said, the kooks took over. These women, who were a minority comprised of lesbians & misfits, thought they could represent all women. And they inculcated many with the vilest ideas.
Maybe had Friedan not been so roaring secular & leftwing, she would have appreciated the traditional woman's role more. Maybe now, wherever she is, she has seen the light.
Thanks Ms. Friedan for making us women who choose being a wife and homemaker as our "career" feel ridiculed, uninformed, ignorant, and stupid. I personally love being a wife and get total fulfullment out of this. It makes me so sad that I continually get flack for this.
So I guess she got her chance to tell God that he is a sexist. (SARC)
