For the brilliance of her thought, I name Phyllis Schlafly an Indigenous Woman Of The Anglosphere (IWOTA).
Here are some examples:
“Any judge who allows an adulterer with a live-in girlfriend to terminate the life of his wife should be impeached.”
“Suppose the pay gap between men and women were magically eliminated. If that happened, simple arithmetic suggests that half of women would be unable to find what they regard as a suitable mate.”
“What I am defending is the real rights of women. A woman should have the right to be in the home as a wife and mother.”
“I think the main goal of the feminist movement was the status degradation of the full-time homemaker. They really wanted to get all women out of the homes and into the workforce. And again and again, they taught that the only fulfilling lifestyle was to be in the workforce reporting to a boss instead of being in the home reporting to a husband.”
“You can’t be an American if you don’t speak English. Our public schools should be mandated to teach all children in English.”
“Anyone with a child knows that children learn about the world through binary options: up or down, hot or cold, big or little, inside or outside, wet or dry, good or bad, boy or girl, man or woman.”
“History offers no evidence for the proposition that the assignment of women to military combat jobs is the way to win wars, improve combat readiness, or promote national security.”
“No country in history ever sent mothers of toddlers off to fight enemy soldiers until the United States did this in the Iraq war.”
God Bless Phyllis Schlafly
