Prior to getting married…
Make sure you’re ready to take the phrase “I don’t want to” out of your vernacular according to Phyllis Schlafly.
According to the “home-making”-psuedo-politician, women having happily participated in nuptial vows can not, by the very nature of the contract, be sexually assaulted by their husbands.
By getting married, the woman has consented to sex, and I don’t think you can call it rape.
Really? I suppose we should go one step further and theorize that when you get married it’s not up to you anymore whether you have kids or not as well.
The logic behind this astounds me. Not to mention the inner hackles that get upset when reminded that there really are people out there fighting for ideas like this.
I especially enjoy her ‘educated opinion’ on women with both children and a career…”While Schlafly said she has no problem with women raising a family and pursuing a professional career, she said they can’t be done at the same time.”
I wonder what her family thinks about all the idealist traveling she does for her ’career’?

Wow. Need I say more. Clearly I am not in this camp.

I totally agree with you. I love the women that say they are ’stay at home moms’ because they love their kids and want the best for them, but then do book tours etc. UMMMMM… WTF?
And the sex stuff. Is. Infuriating.
Someone put her in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant. It’s what she wants, and it would do the world a favor. We wouldn’t have to listen to that ridiculousness!
Sorry… I got a little steamed there… ;-)
