Rape is okay?

According to the compassionate
Phyllis Schlafly at a Bates College Address,

At one point, Schlafly also contended that married women cannot be sexually assaulted by their husbands.

"By getting married, the woman has consented to sex, and I don't think you can call it rape,"

Wow.

Well thanks Phyllis for your opinion. I'm glad that the courts make determinations on solid research from evidence rather than rhetoric. Great to know that as a woman, it appears you don't think much of yourself.

I've never heard of this woman before today. Is she for real?

And I am perplexed as to why she has such strong views against her own gender. Usually women such as myself or men who have been abused, have strong views on the topic because of our experience with Hell itself.

So I'm wondering, what happened in her life to help form her views.
Is it a stunt?

She's a walking contradiction. Phyllis cancels herself out.

For example,

While Schlafly said she has no problem with women raising a family and pursuing a professional career, she said they can't be done at the same time.

This particular address was given in 2007.

Yet, How is it Phyllis that you endorse Sarah Palain, who 3 days after giving birth went back to work, and is now running for the Vice Presidency.

"But this time we struck it rich," Schlafly said of picking Palin. "This time people are clamoring to get to our (Coalition for Life) party" because Palin is scheduled to speak. ( Beacon staff reporter)

Huh?

She voids her own convictions. Sarah is doing both right now (raising a family and career)

Which is it?

Phyllis's own mother supported her family during the depression when Phyllis's dad lost his job.

Is this some type of pain lashing out from that?

She was raised in St. Louis by a working mother who kept her family afloat after her husband lost his job in the Great Depression. She was encouraged to excel academically by both her parents, who, Critchlow writes, believed "their daughters should not be any less ambitious or educated than boys."

Where is Dr. Justin Frank when you need him?

Here's another quote from the Sun Journal Report of the Bates College Address:

" Schlafly asserted women should not be permitted to do jobs traditionally held by men, such as firefighter, soldier or construction worker, because of their "inherent physical inferiority."

I just realized something from her quotes which is rather sad.

When she talks about women, speaks as though she isn't a woman herself.

If I didn't know she was a woman, I could cover up her name and put a man's name in it's place and I wouldn't have to change anything about the quote.

She refers to women (while she is one herself) as "the woman", "their inherent inferiority."

Phyllis, I'm sorry for whatever happened to you that caused a career of mocking yourself. Bashing your gender, is bashing yourself.

There is no escaping that one.

I'll be praying for her.
