The article said she was romantically involved with a Communist. You think Fridan's thoughts about woman are part of the Communist conspiracy? Whatever.

No, I said that she was a veteran communist and Stalinist before she became famous, which happens to be true.

"Yet Friedan was in fact no suburban housewife when she wrote those words; rather, she was a twenty-five-year veteran of professional journalism in the Communist Left, which promoted the idea that women were "oppressed." Friedan was familiar with the writings of Engels, Lenin, and Stalin on the subject, and had written about it herself as a journalist for the official publication of the IUE."

You'd probably have done better to actually read the article before dismissing it...

Equality between the sexes (i.e. Feminism) is a part of the Marxist-Lennist Program.

Just because the commies (or Nazis for that matter) are for something doesn't make it bad.

But - she was a commie and she espoused her brand of feminism because of her left-wing ideology.
