Before focusing on reproductive rights, Page worked in the editorial departments of Glamour and Ms. magazines, as an assistant to Gloria Steinem, as executive director of the National Organization for Women’s New York City Chapter, ran a campaign for a woman candidate for Governor of New York, and edited The Smart Girl’s Guide to College, the first in what now is a genre of Smart Girl guides.
When did morality die? Answer: The late 60’s and early 70’s when women “threw off their aprons,” sent their children to day care and burned their bras, then went out in the world free of their natural duties to raise and nurture a family while the man worked and protected all.
Of course, they had to adjust their attitude to hate men too. It came with the territory. From there it has become a downward spiral of morality.
We now have reached the point that (thanks to women) political correctness and fairness dictates that queers marry and adopt children and that this year children can simply select the sexual preference of the day and boys can take showers and use the bathroom with the girls if they wish and vice-verse.
There is a little ray of hope left and that is there are still some feminine women and masculine men left in the gene pool and hopefully will be the “stock” to restock the herd of endangered families.
Feminism allowed men to get all the sex they wanted with no strings attached.
Get your girlfriend pregnant - don’t marry her, just pay for the abortion.
She want’s the kid, well, that’s her problem now. No need to stick around because now women are capable of supporting themselves with a man.
I’ve often thought that it was a man behind the whole idea of feminism.
Yeah, that washing machine was far less important than being allowed to murder babies in the womb...

Camille Paglia IS a treasure...
One more interesting thing to note is her defense and support of Gov. Sarah Palin. Though she disagreed w/the McCain stance on politics (Paglia is a life long Dem) she FIERCELY defended Palin from the classist, mysogynist attacks she was getting from the left and right. Paglia is very critical of the Ivy League group think and of the looking down upon the working/tradesman classes.
I ll admit I have to use the “definition” function on my iPhone when I read her writings (a lot of unique wordage to say the least) but her theories are honest and insightful. And, she HATES all things Clinton:)
Yeah, men who wear earrings in their ears, and pinkie rings on both hands, who do not open car doors or protect their women, who cowardly use slurs against others, but complain to high heaven when one word is said about them, who love to slander strong conservative women, and think that refusing to apologize is an act of strength, who don’t marry any more, but have a bevy of women waiting in the wings, etc. Yeah, this is liberation. You take out personal responsibility and you have wimpy, sexually confused males. Most do not deserve to be called men.
It has led women to think of their husbands as dispensable, witness the divorce rate now versus fifty years ago.
At whatever point her girlfriends tell her "you can do better", she'll dump him (women initiate about 70% of divorces), belatedly discover that no, she CAN'T do better after she hits 40, and then spend the next decade or more trying to make the ex-husband miserable, including denying him access to his kids.
Feminist thought has also made women think they can "have it all", party with a succession of "alpha males" who will sleep with her as long as she's in her 20's and not demanding commitment, in the expectation that somebody acceptable will marry her in her 30's when her biological clock starts clanging.
