@Peacima You do realize that Schlafly grew up in a poor family during the Great Depression? She graduated from Harvard in 1945--long before the advent of feminism.

My point is that we all have our problems (including me). However, dwelling on the negative doesn't get one anywhere. I think that Schlafly's philosophy is that women should stay upbeat and not dwell on the negatives. I highly recommend her book, "The Power of the Positive Woman." It's very inspirational. :)

@vtoodler Yes and what is your point? She worked hard as we all have to do to succeed, but she had access to that education without having to deal with abusive family relationships or restraints based on her gender, race or religion.

@Peacima Phyllis Schlafly worked extremely hard for everything she has. She worked her way through college and graduated at the age of 19 with a Phi Beta Kappa key.

These anti-Schlafly comments here clearly show ignorance of Phyllis Schlafly and what she has said and written.

[Peacima]

Why can't there ever be a middle ground? Sometimes feminists can be a bit crazy, but most of them are not 'man-haters', they're just women who want equal rights. Phyllis cannot argue these points because she had a great education and a loving family, she doesn't know what it's like to have an abusive partner or limited access to an education.

@davegate2000

yeah, like you ever talked to feminists...

if schlafly is against women having careers, why does she have one?

[Ofir84]

This old hag made a career out of telling women not to have a career.

[davegate2000]

Phyllis Schlafly is brilliant and clearly a very happy, contented woman.

By contrast feminists are all miserable, bitter, "oppressed victims" with a huge sense of entitlement.

Ahhh, practicing her first amendment rights at its finest. Old hag!

What a hypocritical dried up old cunt! Someone should shove her dusty dildo

down her throat to shut her up.
