The Backlash! - November 1994

Feminism Unclothed

Where we turn the soapbox over to the feminists, themselves.

But if their parents, teachers, preachers, have abdicated purposes larger than personal emotional adjustment, material success, security, what larger purpose can the young learn? -- Betty Friedan, The Feminine Mystique

American women live in a patriarchy in which the most dangerous man in town isn't the marauder or rapist, but their husband or lover.

-- Gloria Steinem, New York Times

We can refuse to support an Equal Rights Amendment which would have (1) thrown away protective labor legislation, (2) made it more difficult for a woman to get "alimony" (i.e., reparations for unpaid labor), (3) made women eligible for the draft (when neither men nor women should be drafted to fight genocidal wars).

-- Robin Morgan, Going Too Far 1970

The strip clubs for me are pagan shrines where men go to worship women's power.

-- Camille Paglia
