Never really cared for her myself. Much of what she said applied to very bored upper class elities. She should have had a talk with my mother who had to work and support a family during the "birth" of the woman's movement.

I'm pretty sure my Mom would have given anything to be able to stay at home and be with us kids. She's often said that's the one thing she regrets.

Oh well prayers for her family.

The Communist battle axe passes away.
Never again will I hear her hysterical voice complaining how U.S. (read capitalist) society oppresses women.

Btw... she was no regular housewife. She was very much around the world while servants took care of her comfortable concentration camp.

The world has just become a less ugly place.

[adigal]

1. Can't you feel the LOVE

from all those Christians over there??

Gag. Barf. Bleech.

[Fenris]

2. "That woman did a lot of damage. My God have mercy."

WTF?

[EFerrari]

18. LOL! They probably don't even know who she was.

Maybe they're thinking, Betty Crocker?

:rofl:

[flamingyouth]

45. ROFL! They probably are!

:rofl:

[atommom]

3. Notice how the first thing that comes to their minds is to call her ugly.

:eyes:

[FreedomAngel82]

4. Oh brother

And if the person's mother wanted to stay home why didn't they? :eyes:

[cornermouse]

9. Obviously she couldn't afford it. Their family needed the money.

No shame in that.

[movonne]

5. crazy..

[Craig3410]

6. Sorry to ask this, but...

apparently I missed that history class; What did Betty Freidan do?

Google says "writer and social reformer"...

[Crunchy Frog]

10. Essentially, she founded the modern day feminist movement.

Her revolutionary book, The Feminine Mystique was published in 1963, and she founded the National Organization of Women.

Here's a bit of information on her. http://www.greatwomen.org/women.php?action=viewone&id=62

[EFerrari]

19. The American movement. She thought women were people

before it was cool. :)

[Susan43]

22. She was a great gal!

She literally changed my life. I read her book in my 20's and it was the driving force that got me into politics.

I'm very sad she died.

[Horse with no Name]

7. Pavlov's Dogs

Anytime a Civil Rights/Humans Rights/Liberal dies

they automatically go into attack mode. Foaming and frothing at the mouth, yipping at anyone who will pay attention, calling names, insulting their mother's, etc.
It's really quite funny to watch this theory in practice.:popcorn:

[WernhamHogg]

40. I think it's funny, but mostly sad

These are the same pathetic idiots who are still touchy about the death of Reagan, who was a truly terrible president AND person...

[Katherine Brengle]

8. maybe i'm a bleeding-heart pansy-ass liberal feminist pinko commie>

"butt ugly" bitch, but reading the comments the freepers wrote actually made me cry...

I am sad at this fine woman's passing, but I am also sad that there are people out there who befoul her legacy.

I have been at home for two year raising my daughter because I do believe it is one of the most important things I can do in my life. But I also know that there are other callings to which I must answer.

The true women's liberation movement was about having choices, knowing that you can be more than a breeding machine, but also knowing that choosing the bear and raise your children is your choice and yours alone, not one mandated by society.

[Horse with no Name]

12. These addle-brained idiots don't understand the concept of choice

in anything. It is their way or the highway.
What they don't realize is that many women welcomed the choice to be able to be something more than a brood mare.
And for the one who so idiotically stated that it's mom wishes she had stayed home--undoubtedly because her children turned out so badly, judging by the hate filled comments they spew, that she wished she would have tried something different.

[Katherine Brengle]

17. I think it is really good for mothers who are able to stay home and care..

for their children, or the fathers, which is becoming not exactly common, but more accepted.

I've been using the time I have been lucky enough to be able to afford to spend with my daughter as a chance not only to bond with her but to hone my writing skills and get my work out there--I guess in my line of work, it is easier to do both, but now I am just rambling...

Ugh I have a headache and I can't think straight...

[Horse with no Name]

30. It is about choice

Choice to have a child...or not.
Choice to work outside the home...or not.
Nobody should be judged by their personal choices and nobody should have the right to make them for anyone.
I was not able to stay home when my kids were little.
I was a single parent and had to work.
I also went to school so there was a period of time that I wasn't home much at all.
However, I have an opportunity to stay home and help raise my granddaughter now.
I adore this.
However, I am not foolish enough to think that I could have made different choices all those years ago.
You do what you gotta do.

[Katherine Brengle]

46. You are 100% correct---

this is the point those freaks missed when they were defiling the memory of a visionary.

100 years ago, we didn't have the right to make that choice in the eyes of society. Today, it's starting to come under attack again, and that's a scary prospect...

[Hello_Kitty]

49. Yeah, and like it was Betty Friedan's FAULT or something

Either their dad died, abandoned them, or didn't make enough money to support all of them. But keep supporting the GOP's economic policies you dumbass freeper, so more and more families will be in the same situation yours was.

[globalvillage]

11. You would think that in a two word post

it would not be asking too much to spell both words correctly.

RIP, Betty.

[Wickerman]

13. If one feels so strongly to offer good riddance

they should at least have the brain power to spell if correctly.

:eyes:

that gang truly is a blot on human race.

[no_hypocrisy]

14. Obvious unresolved issues from their childhood when their mothers

weren't home, waiting for their return from school with warm, home-baked cookies. Blame it on Betty Friedan and her critique of "a problem without a name."

I don't know where I'd be today if it weren't for Ms. Friedan.

[Horse with no Name]

32. Actually

It is their excuse to avoid taking any personal responsibility for how horrible they have turned out as adults. It's their mommy's fault that she wasn't there for them.
Typical freeper.

[Arkansas Granny]

15. I have never understood how Freepers, most of whom seem to

claim Christianity as their own, could be so hateful about anyone who doesn't agree with them and share their "moral values". Hate must just ooze out of every pore of their bodies. You could almost pity them if they weren't just so damned obnoxious and ignorant.

[Nutmegger]

16. I agree

I mean, calling her a communist...isn't that bit old now? These Freepers are just born to hate, hate, HATE!!!

[Arkansas Granny]

25. I think it's all that compassionate conservatism.

It just runs amok over there.

[kiteinthewind]

20. Typical Republicans-silence dissenters! I registered just to comment on

their mean words. Below is what the posts were. I was not offensive or foul-mouthed, however, I clearly disagreed with them so guess what? They 'revoked my privleges' What a surprise! and I didn't get to post my last comment. Dang!

"Friedan probably did more damage to women than any in history."
No truer words were ever spoken. I know too many women whose lives were damned
because they bought into the lies of Friedan's ilk. She was an evil, evil tool
in Satan's hands.

I have less argument with the original feminists than the ones of today. The
ones of Friedan's time wanted women to go beyond the traditional roles of
mothers, nurses, teachers, etc. It was a too-narrow scope for some women. I
understand that and have met some women who would have wasted their talents
trying to be what women were expected to be in the 1950s. However, the modern
feminist is basically a hypocrite who wants all the advantages of womanhood when
it is convenient to be women and all the advantages of manhood when it is
convenient to be men. And their normal M.O. is to attack and belittle men rather
than attempt to improve women by producing more complete, competent ladies
instead of more stupid and subservient men.

My dear fellow.... I'm not Christian at all; however, I support family friend
Don Feder's attempts to stop the defamation of Christians.

Also, I rechecked about Betty Friedan's commie lover (he was an assistant
physicist to the Soviet sympathizer, Robert Oppenheimer) and the name is not
given; ergo, I do not know if it was Ted Hall or not -- my apologies!

True enough. There's a world of broken lives behind that statement.

May she receive the judgement that she so richly deserves.

I'll shed not a tear.

I am not happy someone died.

It's a shame a person would promote such a repulsive ideology as Betty did.
Sorry, I hope she repented and accepted the Risen Lord.

Is this the kind of response you wanted or are you some hack who signed up today
just so you could say "taliban Christians!"

The idea that women who stay home with their children are "wasting" their
education is one of feminisms greatest and dirtiest lies. What are children,
chopped liver?
I don't disagree but it's not for everyone. I've met some women who were
horrible mothers. It just wasn't in their nature. It didn't make them worthless
though. Their talents lay elsewhere.

Many men are good carpenters. I am not. But if society expected me to be a
carpenter all day, I'd be unhappy and feel my strengths were wasted. It doesn't
mean carpentry is a waste or a bad thing. It just means I know my limitations.

I know. I cried when I found out Hitler died. And I asked myself "why are people
happy? A man died today. They must be Taliban Christians. Shame on them." It's
always sad when people who are committed to the destruction of culture and
society bite the dust.
puh-leaze.

"She was right and she was wrong."
Those of us who opposed her did not necessarily disagree with the problems and
inequities that needed to be addressed. There are those who desire to SOLVE
problems and those who EXPLOIT problems. She poured gasoline on flames. She
feigned caring about women; when in fact, she and her fellow cohorts from hell
cared for nothing more than self-gratification, power and every other negative
self-serving attribute you can think of.

The Taliban Christians don't need any help with their reputation! They are
giving ALL Christians, including those that follow Jesus (remember him?) a bad
name. They need to go back and read the Gospels. Jesus came to teach us that we
are to love each other, even our enemies, and He went on further to let the
Pharisees, the church leaders of the day, know that they were HYPOCRITES. We now
have a new generation of "pharisees"; the fundamentalist hypocrites!

For the record, my reply was:

And DUmmy buttmunch is loving? I have done more than read the gospels, I studied them. And you're right, Condi 2008, I DID misspell Christian, but I am not embarrassed by that. God knows my heart, and I pray that each of you will know Him someday. So sad......

These are really bad people! :crazy:

[EFerrari]

21. How can this so called person use "God" and "buttmunch"

in the same post.

They're sociopaths.

[kiteinthewind]

24. I agree.

It's a scary world with these people around. I believe they stop at nothing to achieve their 'goals'. The ends justify the means, even if the means are immoral. :scared:

[xchrom]

26. love, mercy, compassion, caring, empathy, etc is lost

on ignorant tapeworms.

don't waste a single thought, prayer, breath or anything else on these tapeworms -- because if they had the chance they would kill you.

[kiteinthewind]

28. Thanks, guys!

:grouphug:

[ryan_cats]

35. Welcome to the Freak show.

Welcome to the Freak show. My brother is a member (I won't say who) and he said if I was honest in my disagreement, I could post there. Yeah right, I didn't recognize the Holiness of Scrub-ya so I was banned pretty quick. Even my wingnut brother was surprised since what I posted was pretty mild.
They essentially have an echo chamber that marches in lockstep. Nice.

[EFerrari]

42. Yeah, all four of them.

:rofl:

[Faygo Kid]

23. You knew it was coming. They are charmers, aren't they?

They huff and they puff when anybody says something they believe to be in "bad taste" over here, but let somebody post a thread about a progressive woman's death, or Chelsea Clinton, and they show us up for the pikers we are when it comes to being nasty.

[kiteinthewind]

27. It is so UN-American!

:patriot: But you're right, I knew it was coming, but I thought they would wait until I said something offensive. I guess the TRUTH was offensive enough!

[Faygo Kid]

34. Betty was a great American. An underrated one, too.

I am old enough to remember the incredible change from the late '60s to the late '70s. And my daughter is now a beneficiary. My mom wasn't so lucky; raised two boys in the '50s-60s with no husband (he split). She's gone now, but I am still amazed at her accomplishments. Believe me, she knew what women faced "on the ground," and was a feminist without labeling herself as such. She and Betty would have hit it off.

[peekaloo]

29. Betty's the reason( or one of 'em) they can't get laid.

[EFerrari]

31. Which means they reproduce less frequently.

Betty WAS a true humanitarian as well as a feminist. :)

[peekaloo]

33. HA!

:D

[KingFlorez]

36. Their brains are fried to the max

They always attack people who have made progress

[EFerrari]

44. And people they owe a debt of gratitude.

Hey, female freeps! Before Betty, you would have been laughed out of any public political discussion.

At least, now I can laugh at them on an equal basis.

:rofl:

[DemGirl7]

37. What a bunch closed minded assholes...

These people are really sick. When somebody doesn't fit into their cookie-cutter world of ignorance, they have to attack them at all cost even when they pass away and they no respect for those who stood up to change the world for the better. But what do I expect, they are nothing more than simple minded freepers who have no respect for change of any kind.

[LynnTheDem]

38. "compassionate conservatives" in action. JESUS would be so PROUD!

He loved when people died, too. And wars, Jesus loved wars. Wholeale slaughtering of men, women & kids, Jesus was really into that.

Yep, them "compassionate conservatives" sure make Jesus proud!

[maveric]

39. "She should have had a talk with my mother who had to work and support ...

a family during the "birth" of the woman's movement."
WTF is that supposed to mean? Did Betty Freidan turn the economic climate so to that single Mom's had to work? What was the alternative? Welfare?
These asshole possess no logic at all!

[EFerrari]

41. Nope. They'll never understand that it was precisely those

Moms that were helped most by Freidan's work.

You're welcome, oh clueless ones.

[Catherine Vincent]

43. Someone should forward that thread over to Michelle Malkin's blog

And let's see if she writes anything about their hateful comments.

[Straight Shooter]

47. (Paraphrasing) Damn Betty to hell, damn her ugly buttmunch face to hell!!

(Followed by lilting tones:) And may she accept Jesus as her Risen Lord.

[omega minimo]

48. This is why the Reich Wing would end the Dept. of Education

More supporters for them
