She upbraids women who stay at home for failing the feminist agenda, saying, “They do not require a great intellect, they are not honored and they do not involve risks and the rewards that risk brings.” Writing in the November 2005 edition of the American Prospect, Hirshman admitted that the real intention of the feminist movement was not “equality”, but to destroy what she calls “the unreconstructed family” of a husband and wife rearing children. She writes that the goal was to see as many women as possible abandoning family life for high-level professions and politics. Hirshman a committed radical, was a member in the 1970s of the feminist lobby, the National Organization for Women (NOW), a donor to the pro-abortion political organization, EMILY’s List, and a professor of women’s studies.
Denis Leary, clean up on aisle three(y'all know what song I'm talking about)
Thanks for the ping, NYer, and this a ping for a mom who raised 9 kids ;) Don't you just love women like Linda Hirshman? I'd rather have the satisfaction of raising kids, than shattering some glass ceiling.
Remember: "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle Is The Hand That Rules The World". Feminazis hate that :-D
