AP Success - AP US History: Opposition Against the New Wave of Feminism

The mistaken impression that “women’s lib” means more job opportunities for women, equal pay, appointments of women to high positions, admitting more women to medical schools... is only a sweet syrup which covers the deadly poison masquerading as “women’s lib.” The women’s libbers are radicals who are waging a total assault on the family, on marriage, and on children... The most pretentious of the women’s liberation magazines is called Ms., with Gloria Steinem listed as president and secretary... It is anti-family, anti-children, and pro-abortion... They view the home as a prison, and the wife and mother as a slave... The women’s libbers don’t understand that most women want to be wife, mother and homemaker—and are happy in that role... The principal purpose of Ms.’s shrill tirade is to sow seeds of discontent among happy, married women so that all women can be unhappy in some new sisterhood of frustrated togetherness.
