This is a tribute to the original anti-feminist.
A one-woman wrecking machine that took the feminist movement head on and won a significant battle in the midst of the vast social changes that were effected by the so-called sexual revolution.
She made a stand, defeated the feminist propaganda machine and has relentlessly opposed the feminists ever since. She is still actively writing and lecturing to this very day, and the woman deserves her props.
Phyllis took up the banner of sanity in opposing the feminists attempts to achieve their radical, social engineering agenda in one fell swoop by amending the U.S. Constitution with their deceptively named “Equal Rights Amendment.”
In the words of another anti-feminist female that has been villified, demonized, caricaturized and castigated for opposing the feminist movement, Ann Coulter:
Even taking into account the extraordinary capacity of the left for hallucinatory self-aggrandizement, the insipid blather about the feminists and the total radio silence on Phyllis Schlafly is astonishing.
The elite media cast about for women to praise, hailing any female who has achieved the amazing feat of having passed the bar exam, but treat the stunning accomplishments of Phyllis Schlafly like the publisher of The New York Times treats his SAT scores. (It is a dark secret that must not be revealed.) Schlafly simply cannot be mentioned — except for the occasional demeaning caricature.
When Schlafly took up her battle against the ERA, the Senate had passed it by 84 to 8. The House had passed it by 354 to 23. The ERA was written in to both the Republican and Democratic Party platforms. Thirty states had approved it in the first year after it was sent to the states for ratification. Only eight more states were needed.
But the ERA had not yet faced Phyllis Schlafly. Over the next eight years, thanks to Schlafly and her Eagle Forum, only five states ratified it — but five other states rescinded their earlier ratifications.
The fact that she is a major player in defeating the radical feminists should make her an eternal hero to the MRA movement. Schlafly made a huge impact in decades ago, but she is by no means finished in her work in exposing the lies, deceit and family-destroying legislation and propaganda the feminists constantly attempt to foist upon society.
The following are some excerpts from a few of her columns…points that make so much common sense, it’s easy to see why this woman has been such an effective Counter-Feminist throughout her career as a Pro-Family advocate.
Schlafly on:
It would seem that maintaining the father’s love and authority would be crucial when a child’s life is turned upside down by divorce. Yet, family courts routinely deprive children of one parent, usually the father, restricting his time with his child to about six days a month. The courts pompously assert they are invoking “the best interest of the child,” but how can it be in the best interest of children to make them forfeit one parent?
U.S. women doing fine without International Violence Against Women Act:
The International Violence Against Women Act is based on the lie that violence against women is the same problem in all countries. Many non-Western countries have social norms that justify abuse (such as genital mutilation, forced marriage, and polygamy), and “international standards” would vastly diminish the rights and benefits U.S. women now enjoy.U.S. women are the most privileged class of people on the face of the earth. That’s because we are the beneficiaries of the Judeo-Christian civilization, including the requirement in the Ten Commandments to honor mothers and the Christian religion that honors the Virgin Mary and respects women.
Exposing Hillary Clinton’s Presidential Campaign’s “Mom Strategy”
Clinton invites us to “imagine a country in which nearly all children between the ages of 3 and 5 attend preschool in sparkling classrooms.” That children’s paradise is France, which “makes caring for children a top priority,” and where “more than 90 percent of French children between ages 3and 5 attend free or inexpensive preschools.”The assumption of “It Takes a Village” is that daycare, run by tax-salaried and licensed “professionals” in centers regulated by the government, is preferable to mother care. Clinton even praises the fact that many French children are in full-day programs “even before they reach the age of 3.”
The re-issue of Hillary’s old book dispels the notion that she is re-inventing herself as a moderate. Her mom strategy is badly out of sync with her book praising a country that starts government daycare for children at age 2.
United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.
The notion is downright ridiculous that American women (the most fortunate class of people who ever lived) should submit to a treaty that dictates uniform rules for 185 other nations, all of which treat women worse than the United States.
It’s good to see Mrs. Schlafly is still going strong. The fact that she is largely unrecognized for her efforts speaks volumes to how much popular culture and the mainstream media will only idolize women who toe the politically correct, left wing, feminist line.
As Ann Coulter concluded her tribute:
That Phyllis Schlafly is the mortal enemy of a movement that claims to promote women tells you all you need to know about the feminists.
All Hail the Joan of Arc of the pro-Family side in this socially engineered gender war, Phyllis Schlafly.
