When she started her activism, I was a woman who had been paid less to do twice as much as men with half my ability. So I fell for the media portrayal of her. Then I did another degree mid-career. I took a Constitutional Law class and started researching the feminist-favoring decisions on abortion, marriage, sexual politics, et cetera, expecting to agree with our highest Court, only to find that the SCOTUS’s so-called reasoning and conclusions were appalling. I soon came to the same conclusions Phyllis Schlafly has come to: the Marxist deconstruction of marriage is the tool that was being used to destroy our Constitutional republic. And this was many years ago. I couldn’t get any of my professors interested in the topic, or in helping me develop it further. Wonder why? But fortunately for me, it was the beginning for me of becoming a thinking conservative and no longer an unthinking “default liberal.”
Your story has much more meaning for me after talking with you at the Walter Reed Freeps...:)
Since I joined FR, Phyllis Schlafly has adorned my Freep Page.
One of my heroes!
