The Gamesmenship of Restraining Orders
By Phyllis Schlafly One of the big problems with family courts is that judges issue restraining orders virtually for the asking, without any evidence of actual domestic violence or even threat of violence. The Illinois Bar Journal explained that women use these restraining orders as a tool for the mother to get child custody and to bar the [...]
A Good Father’s Day Gift — Phyllis Schlafly
By Phyllis Schlafly A good Father's Day gift would be to reform the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), make it gender-neutral, and assure men that family courts will accord them constitutional rights equivalent to those enjoyed by murderers and robbers. VAWA will be coming up for its five-year reauthorization later this year, and that will [...]
Duke Keeps Pro-Life Group Out of Women’s Center During ‘Week for Life’
Liberty Alerts, TheFIRE.org DURHAM, N.C., March 29, 2010—Duke University's Women's Center has canceled an event about motherhood because the sponsor was engaging in pro-life expression elsewhere on campus. A Women's Center representative told Duke Students for Life (DSFL) that "we have a problem" and an ideological "conflict" with the [...]
Will American Boys Grow Up to Be Men? — Phyllis Schlafly
by Phyllis Schlafly I've been explaining feminism, and refuting its fallacies, for many years. All the while, I've been hoping that some brave and articulate men would speak up against the stupidity of trying to move us all into a gender-neutral society. Finally, a man has done this. I am so happy to read a newspaper column by Dennis [...]
Feminists Consider Motherhood Oppressive — Phyllis Schlafly
by Phyllis Schlafly I was flipping the channels on my television a couple of weeks ago and I stopped, as I always do, on CSpan Books. There was some feminist, whose name is not important, giving a five-minute rant against President Richard Nixon because he vetoed the bill proposed by Walter Mondale to make federal daycare for preschool children [...]
Obama Panders to Feminists — Schlafly
by Phyllis Schlafly The American public was outraged when it became known that Majority Leader Harry Reid got the Senate health care bill passed by putting into the bill gigantic benefits for Louisiana and Nebraska only, which would be a big political benefit to Senators Mary Landrieu and Ben Nelson. Those earmarks were worth hundreds of [...]
The Real Loser in the Massachusetts Election — Schlafly
by Phyllis Schlafly The Democrats are very upset about their surprise defeat in the race to fill the U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts, so they are throwing their own candidate, Martha Coakley, under the bus. They blame her for running a poor campaign. Many reasons, of course, contributed to the remarkable victory of Senator Scott Brown. [...]
Obama Panders to Feminists — Schlafly
by Phyllis Schlafly Obama's "spread the wealth around" doesn't mean only higher taxes on taxpayers and more handouts to non-taxpayers; more especially, it means transfers of financial goodies to the President's political allies. The American people were rightfully outraged when it became known that Senators Mary Landrieu and Ben Nelson were [...]
The Real Loser In The Massachusetts Election — Schlafly
by Phyllis Schlafly Smarting from their surprise loss in the race to fill the U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts, the Democrats are throwing their candidate, Martha Coakley, under the bus. They blame her for running a poor campaign that made losers out of Barack Obama, the Democrats, their bad health care bill, and even Ted Kennedy in his [...]
Feminist Vendetta Against Men’s Sports
by Phyllis Schlafly I was shocked to read a U.S. Army report that 75% of America's 17- to 24-year-olds are not eligible for military service for various reasons. According to this report entitled "Ready, Willing and Unable to Serve," nearly a third of all potential recruits can't join the military because they're too fat, out of shape, can't do [...]
Feminist Attack on Boys — Phyllis Schlafly
by Phyllis Schlafly The feminist lobby has carried on a ten-year campaign to sell the false propaganda that girls are cheated all through the education system, Kindergarten through college. This campaign started in 1992 when the ultra-feminist American Association of University Women issued a report called "How Schools Shortchange Girls." It [...]
Where Are the Men? — Phyllis Schlafly
by Phyllis Schlafly Colleges used to have a male-female ratio of about 60-40, and suddenly, we've discovered it's close to 40-60. Men don't like this change; women don't like it; and colleges don't like it. One cause for this dramatic shift is that colleges perceive applications by women to be better than those submitted by men. But, why is it [...]
Feminists Don't Believe in Choice — Schlafly
by Phyllis Schlafly One of the major goals of the feminist movement has been to get all wives and mothers out of the home and into the workforce, and women are now half of the workforce in America. Women's percentage in the labor force keeps rising because of who is going to college. Thirty years ago, the ratio of males to females on college [...]
Government's Role in Marriage — Schlafly
by Phyllis Schlafly The institution of marriage as the union of one man and one woman has been fundamental to America ever since the founding of our nation. When the famous French commentator Alexis de Toqueville traveled the United States in the early-19th century, he recognized the fact that respect for marriage is very American. He wrote: [...]
Where are the Men? — Schlafly
by Phyllis Schlafly The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights announced in November that it will investigate whether colleges illegally discriminate against women by admitting less qualified men. This is only the latest in a decades-long campaign by the feminist lobby to sell the false propaganda that girls are cheated all through the education system, [...]
Feminists Still Aren't Happy — Schlafly
by Phyllis Schlafly It's really pretty funny to read all the psychoanalyzing of the feminists by themselves. They just don't understand why all surveys show that women are not as happy as they were in 1970 before the feminist movement got started. But every now and then, a feminist writer makes a sensible comment. (more...)
