"She was definitely the coolest grandmother that a young guy like me could ask for."

He recalled how his grandmother took him to Cuba and let him throw big parties at her summer house in Sag Harbor on Long Island.

Reminds me of Teddy taking the Kennedy kids out to binge and rape.

I'm glad she's dead.
She did tremendous damage to women, children, men, the American family and to our social fabric.
The old hag didn't die soon enough.

There are plenty of reasons to hate this woman, but I'm going to take this opportunity to be really petty: does anyone else think she looked like Klinger from M.A.S.H.?

[Salvey]

At first glance, I read, "Friends, Family apologize for feminist Friedan." No such luck.

[Lizavetta]

Women are now working full time being 'fulfilled', instigating divorces at higher rates and hiring the help to mother their children.

And they are more miserable than ever. My impression of today's modern woman is that she's more self-focused and correspondingly less satisfied than before.

[refermech]

Oh man! That made me laugh out loud!

What happened to the femi chick with Hobo Kelly glasses wonder if she spoke at the funeral?

[jwalburg]

My mom came back from a rally in the late 60s and pretty much told us she would never do anything for us again, just live for herself. Those weren't the words she used, but that's what we heard. Friedan was one of the first to institutionalize selfishness and hail it as a right.

Pictures?

Actually what I think she should of said should have been geered twoard Older Women over 40 after you have raised you're kids realize you still have alot of potential to be a smart, happy desirable woman. Take care of you're body mind and spirit don't let menopause turn you into a fat complaining, boring old hag because you're husband will leave you in a New York minute, because you lack luster for life.... I am sure that is her story, she turned into a pill...She had no mate.

[ThreePuttinDude]

They both have that sultry look about them........(barf)

Betty Friedan, who championed the once-radical assertion that women needed more than husbands and children to find fulfillment....,

Ergo.....children can be an obstacle to fulfillment.

Ergo....we need ways to liberate women from the burden of children.

Ergo.....women's fulfillment depends on the availability of abortion.

Thanks Betty. You penned a modern day "Final Solution" that has helped to exterminate millions.

Sounds like the typical commie from the 30's to me. The family never felt her real love because, after all, her first love, her real love, her only love was for the Party.

You could have written this script from afar, it's just so typical. (and so unbelievably pathological and sick).

[RushCrush]

and yet was exquisitely lonely

Very telling...

[Gay State Conservative]

It's difficult for kids to realize and acknowledge that their Mom or Dad was a scumbag,but it sounds as if this clown's kids were doing jusr that.

One telling point is that two of them refer to her by her first name rather than "Mom" or "my mother".That's a 100% reliable sign that the kid doesn't have a whole lot of respect for the parent because the title "Mom" and "Dad" are the two most noble titles that exist in human civilization.

Actually, Klinger in drag is better looking than the marxist. Boy, is she ugly!

[John Robertson]

You may be chastened for your harshness...but not by me.

This woman's personal misery, broadcast large, undid hundreds of thousands of marriages...planted the seeds for a couple morally shiftless generations...and simply brought untold misery to millions. Hell with her.

[John Robertson]

"does anyone else think she looked like Klinger from M.A.S.H.?"

No. Klinger was handsome, in a rough-looking way.

[HoosierHawk]

And Klinger looked better in a dress.
