You’ve Come a Long Way Baby
Phyllis Schlafly is being awarded an honorary doctorate from Washington University in St. Louis on May 16th. for those of you who aren’t familiar with her work, Schlafly first came to prominence with her 1964 best seller A Choice Not An Echo.
In the 1970s Schlafly was one of the voices for sanity who fought hard for issues important to women like stopping the ERA, keeping women from working in traditionally male fields, and preserving the right of married men to demand sex from their wives whenever they wish.
Even at the age of 80, Schlafly helped to write some of the socially conservative language in the 2004 Republican party platform. Dr. Schlafly we salute your courage in helping to move women into the 21st century. You’ve come a long way baby.
I’ve always thought that for such a traditionally minded woman, she made quite a dynamic career for herself.

Her son’s a homo. She should have been at home. leave opposing feminism to the men and be a mother!

They’re rescinding it. Seems the idea was none too popular with students or faculty.
