You can have it all! Skip the husband, have a kid via in-vitro or just get a friend to donate the sperm. Continue to pursue your career and just put the kid in day care, and bitch and moan that the government does not provide a solution to you. It's all men's fault anyway!
She must've been a real peice of work, when a very liberal paper can even have a eulogy without saying something negative.
Excellent article, thanks! My generation suffered greatly from Ms. Friedan's misguided views.
I've often wondered why it is that lesbians and ugly women
always seem to be the biggest "feminists".Why is it that most of the leadership of NOW are lesbians?
Feminism killed civil rights.
Women were demanding places in the predominately white male work force at just the time that black husbands and fathers were gaining acceptance.
Racist employers opted to support white feminism rather than give black men the chance they deserved. Other
Employers were faced with a dilemma and often avoided hard choices by hiring "twofers" (black women).
We are still dealing with the resulting havoc in African-American families.
This sentence is very telling. If the women of the 60s weren't ready to buy into Friedan's illogical view of "women's rights" there would never have been a feminist movement, and American culture would have been much different than it is today.
By devaluing home and hearth, far too many women have found their window of opportunity for marriage and family closed.
How can a "closing of a window of opportunity" be anyone's fault other than the women who bought into liberal Utopian ideals -- and why should we care?
It's true. Most "lesbians" of that ilk are only so because they don't take the time or effort to try and win a good man. But feminism has even lessened the numbers of good men, by brainwashing men into becoming liberal wusses, all in the name of political correctness.
Gee, sounds suspiciously like a senator from New York
Exactly. Commentators on both sides seem to think that Friedan had some sort of magical powers that made happy housewives want to become career women all of a sudden. Friedan's book would have been just another book had not the conditions had not been right for change. If Friedan had never been born, the feminist movement would have still happen, and probably would have been just as successful. You would be better off blaming technology than Friedan for feminism.
"...have a kid via in-vitro or just get a friend to donate the sperm."
By-passing the sex part of procreation; that's why all these feminist old bags were "frustrated". Making kids is the fun part. But then, most of them were so ugly they probably couldn't get a man to do it "to" them so they had to get a man to do it "for" them.
Gee, what a gal!!!!
I distinctly remember when I first heard the word "feminist" and I turned around to the TV and looked at the UGLIEST "women" I had ever seen, and thought that "feminist" was a new word for "Very Unattractive Female"! It HAD to be a JOKE because there was NOTHING feminine about these women!!
Betty Friedan and people like her have "led children astray" by telling them abortion is OK...I certainly hope she begged God for forgiveness and atoned for her sins.
VERY interesting! I had NEVER thought about what women's rights did to the black man!!
LOL
BTTT
Feminist--a 60's radical leftist female from an east coast ivy league university too ugly to get a date, who bemoans the 'tyranny of a male-dominated world' but in the 80's succumbed to the tyranny of her glands.
And sometimes threefers.....black, Hispanic women.
