Feminist Fantasies

An interesting Read

I have to admit that I disagree with a few of Phillis Schlafly's points concerning Judeo-Christian morality for the success of America, pornography, homosexual civil unions, and sexual liberation but kept in mind that Schlafly wrote most of her pamphlets between 1982 and the early 2000's. Most of her writings still ring true today and makes one realize that the issues we women face with feminism today is very similar to what they faced during her time. Although much of what she warned against and legal policies have come to a head or is currently being put in place, with disastrous consequences. A must read for any Contemporary feminist, as this woman does not seem to be well known, but her message is still important. be warned, just as you think you ought to stop listening, keep on listening, she will eventually suprise you at the end.

Must read for all Americanized women!

I leaned feminist in the past...now a fulfilled wife and mother. This book is true.

This is one of those books...

that inevitably will receive many knee-jerk reactions from politically frenzied people who have never read the thing...but the points Schlaffy makes are clear and precise. Yes, equal rights are important, but modern radical feminism is not about equal rights: it is about hating men and "the patriarchy." It is also about women having to work harder than ever, getting the blunt end of the "sexual revolution" that feminism encouraged, and having a much harder time in relationships that they are trained to despise when things just really aren't that bad most of the time. Look, read the book or don't, but don't judge it until you have turned the last page. (Also see the videos and writings of Dr. Janice Fiamengo and Karen Straughen to see the mindless hate and unfairness that often comes with modern radical feminism. Also Steven Pinker is a good source when he writes or discusses gender: he deems himself an "equality feminist" but eschews the harmful radical stuff.)

Brilliant!

Take the time to listen and weep! Just about everything Mrs. Sclafly wardens about here has come to pass

Very thought provoking

I know this book would probably be called sexist in today's culture but if you want to hear a book of great countercultural arguments, this is it! 10/10 would recommend to a friend

A must-read!

I was introduced to Phyllis Schlafly when Michael Knowles was discussing the inaccurate movie or tv show that was about her. I came across this book and figured it was going to a regular redpill book. It was but it wasn’t boring at all. She doesn’t waste anytime with unimportant details and is very direct with what she discusses. It’s mostly a timeline structured book but it’s incredibly important to read how bad feminism was and still is. Feminists are basically Marxists

Great sampling of a giant

I had never read anything by the author, and this was a very good introduction to some of the heart of her thought on feminism in the Human family

READ THIS BOOK!!

There are a few books that come along to give perspective, proper perspective, on how to see the world around you. If you are pro feminist, read this book! If you are anti-feminist, READ THIS BOOK! If you don;t know where you stand on the issue, READ THIS BOOK! Where I never even heard of Phyllis Schlafly, I found that she is a substantial pillar in the conservative movement.

It's an easy read that is really hard to put down. I found myself looking over the book @ 3 AM and realizing how this effects so many issues in every day life. No matter on what side of the issue you stand - Feminism effects YOU every single day.

Common Sense

One of the finest books on the subject of feminism, well researched and methodically presented. This is a work of serious scholarship, but with the practical insights of a regular woman who is not blinded by the ideological adsurdities of the academic left. Everyone who values ALL people regardless of sex should read (or listen to) this book to hear how some radicals seek to divide us.

God is everywhere

Mots of what the author says make sense but why does she equates faith with family values? I am strongly atheist but that does not prevent me to feel the inequity and the bitterness of feminists. Nor
