    I like how she looks at the perspective and struggles of men as well. She seems to get the whole picture.

      Exactly! This is what many feminists these days tend to forget about - speaking only from women's perspective - and this is why men perceive modern feminism as a menace. Do I get it right?

      @@user-sx1ug6qn4w who do you mean exactly by "many feminists these days"? are there certain voices you have in mind? Ms. Friedan makes the wonderful point that there were as many men as women supporting the second wave of feminism; its more the anti-feminist backlash that portrays men as so 'offended' by feminism.

    She says so much of what I feel, as a women who was married, divorced. People especially woman who are married or with a man, that a single woman can't be alone or should not be alone, that they are so lonely. Everyone gets lonely. You can be surrounded by a group of people or a special someone and still become lonely, that's a fact of life, for all of us. I love what she says very direct, clear and honest. Refreshing.

    She is extremely likeable. Very clever and interesting to listen to. Phyllis Schlafly not so much.
    Not all women want children. Not all women/men can have children. Not all women want to be with a man. So many variables.

    I think she said in her book. 'It wasn't that women had to much to do. But that they had to little to do'. Now women are taxpayers often having to balance job with childcare.

    It's sad that even today I get questioned because I don't want to get married or have children. People still think there's some wrong with me for having those choices. Even worse, some of this is coming from the gay community that should be more enlightened about these things.

      @@ghinwaj8858 Yes and No. Where you have "won" like the rest of the extreme Left, your policies have proven to be failures. Where Mrs. Schlafly has won is a almost everyone have accepted women as equals without calling themselves feminists. Who stole feminism? You did. You reinvented it to the extent that no right-thinking person can call her or himself a feminist.
