Phyllis Schlafy still alive; still unconscious

Days after Senate Republicans unanimously blocked a vote on the Paycheck Fairness Act, Phyllis Schlafly, founder of "pro-family" organization Eagle Forum, claimed that providing women with equal pay for equal work would deter their chances of finding a “suitable mate” in a Christian Post op-ed published Tuesday.

Since a woman prefers to marry a man who makes more money than she does, Schlafly argued, decreasing the gender pay gap would leave women unable to secure a husband.

Red State Women will accept belittlement by Moneymen who say there is equality in marriage between the husband and the woman he marries. Red Women miss the point of equality in marriage being between a husband and wife.

But wouldn't most husbands want their wives to make as much money as possible? Life these days is expensive.

She was claiming good girls didn't get raped way back when I was a teen-ager. This woman needs a time machine to take her back to the Victorian era. Or maybe she was born in the Victorian era.

in college in 1969, there was the YAF(young americans for freedom). I really think these are the teabagger idiots existing now. Even tough their policies never, ever work, they insist the opposite.

I think the disease has gone viral, though.
