“Most women just don’t want to be liberated from home, husband, family, and children.” So said Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly more than 30 years ago. Two articles published recently confirm Phyllis’s wisdom when it comes to what women want.
The Wall Street Journal recently ran an article by an Australian social scientist entitled, “Why Are Girls Less Likely to Become Scientists?” with a sub-headline declaring that, “Closing the gender gap in STEM jobs has proved difficult, perhaps because it has more to do with the priorities of men and women than with sexism.” Two days later, The Free Press published “How I Became a Wife,” by Larissa Phillips who tells how when she was in the sixth grade her mother gave her a poster of the Gloria Steinem quote ‘A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.’ The feminist messages she was fed as a young woman made her swear off “the idea of ever becoming a wife.” But, she says, “after 25 years of marriage, I couldn’t disagree more.” Too bad her mother didn’t give her a subscription to the Phyllis Schlafly Report instead!
