1. No way! Religion is worse than feminism!

[cleverusername]

2. Is there anyone under 60 in the room? nt

[peace13]

3. Wow, without feminism she would be at home knitting booties...

...and serving tea to her husband. I guess she is the only woman that can have a career.

[dalaigh lllama]

14. I remember when she was running around with her anti-feminist spiel back in the 70's

and I thought at the time, if she's so against women doing anything outside of home, what's she doing out on the lecture circuit. A harbinger of the RW hypocrisy that followed.

[hmorehead]

4. My first thought: how fragile she is. Her body has degenerated to her brain's condition.

[Enthusiast]

5. She was a fucking idiot

30 years ago. I see she's still at it.

[Zambero]

12. She's been doing "Idiot" for 45 + years

having written "A Choice Not an Echo" in 1964, in support of the Goldwater campaign, although by today's wingnut "standards" Mr. Goldwater would be considered a RINO leftie.

[sinkingfeeling]

6. Phyllis has been saying the same thing going on 40 years now.

[foxfeet]

7. Her wig is too tight and has been that way for decades.

[Piewhacket]

8. the parade of horribles... she forgot WWI-II, VietNam, the Black Plague, ...

the great flood and the collapse of the Roman Empire.

oh, we got trouble, lots and lots of trouble...

9. Reminds me of Dr. Laura

She is always spouting 'family values' and wanting women to stay home to take care of their families....yet she is out working and doing book tours....hmmmm....do as I say, not as I do...the worst .

[Zambero]

10. She could have put homosexuality at the top of her hate list

However, Schlafly has an openly gay son. As virulently homophobic as she is, that would have been a bit too close to home, even for her.

11. wikipedia - Phyllis Schlafly

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllis_Schlafly

a hideous person

[meegbear]

13. Hmmmm ...

Feminism is 'the most dangerous, destructive force in our society today.'
Sarah Palin is hailed by conservatives as the 'new face of feminism.'
Therefore, Sarah Palin is the most dangerous, destructive force in our society today.

[Democracyinkind]

15. Schlafly ..... oh my... that's because feminism was designed by marxist social engineers to bring

..down the shining city on the hill.

Don't forget she's one of the few people left who believes that the collapse of the soviet union was a hoax and that the communists have now almost achieved world control under disguise.

[MgtPA]

16. Good lord, who woke up that old gasbag??

[seafan]

17. Phyllis Schlafly screams from her own private hell.

There is no redemption for a lifetime steeped in this kind of irrationality. Not in this life.

Phyllis Schlafly, on 'how to take back America'.... YouTube, September 28, 2009


"I submit to you that the feminist movement is THE most dangerous, destructive force in our society today. My analysis is that the gays are about 5% of the attack on marriage in this country, and the feminists are about 95%. I'm talking about drugs, sex, illegitimacy, dropouts, poor grades, runaways, suicides, you name it. Every social ill comes out of the fatherless home." ---Phyllis Schlafly, September, 2009

Of Abortion, and Women as the Ultimate Source of Evil, by Arthur Silber, August 9, 2007

.....

Our culture today views the body as inherently sinful; this belief is treated as an axiom beyond challenge. Sex is especially sinful -- and the final responsibility for the evil of sex and of the body is located in woman. Adam would not have sinned but for Eve's initial transgression.

Evil is located in woman, and in her body and its potentialities. Such evil must be channeled and controlled: it must be brought under the whip of righteousness. The campaign to limit or even eliminate abortion is not about pregnancy or the fetus at all: it is about controlling the body, and controlling pleasure, especially sexual pleasure.

For the most part, men run the world. They are not interested in controlling themselves, and they will still pursue their own pleasure as they choose -- but evil must be resisted. So they turn to their eternal scapegoat, and what they view as the final source of evil in this world, the barrier between themselves and redemption: woman. If our world and men are to be saved, they must be saved from woman.

This is, finally, what the battle about abortion concerns. To the extent people choose to limit a woman's right to her own body, they accept and reinforce this endlessly destructive cultural tradition -- and they believe in Original Sin, even if they are atheists. Religion holds no exclusive claim to irrationality of this kind. They seek to control abortion because they seek salvation, whether they recognize that fact or not. To bring salvation nearer, women must be eternally subordinate, and they cannot be allowed to do anything other than what men allow.

Don't let them do it -- not even in a single state. Personal liberty, and the liberty of women, must not be subject to "community standards," or "the spectrum of public opinion," or to ignorance and hatred. Ignorance and prejudice of this kind have held sway for thousands of years -- and look around you, to see their ghastly effects.

Let it stop.

Amen.

18. One son's gay; the other founded Conservapedia. WTF. She's

85 and it's time, Phyllis, to sit down and shut the fuck up.

[fascisthunter]

19. sorry lady... most females like independence and...

don't feel it's necessary to live like a haus frau for their husbands. Blech...

[mzmolly]

20. So, did she vote for the Palin ticket?
