The original pearl-clutcher herself
You know, it’s 2007. I keep thinking that, this far into the 21st century, I shouldn’t need to defend the fact that women aren’t chattel.
And then this bitch comes along and opens her yap again, and reality hits like an Acme anvil on Wile E.’s head.
Old Phyllis is clutching her pearls and twisting her knickers over the fact that Democrats have reintroduced the Equal Rights Amendment, this time under the title "Women’s Equality Amendment." We narrowly lost it in 1982; it’s inconceivable to me that, a full quarter of a century later, we still don’t have it. But "women" (and I use that term loosely) like Schlafly are why.
Her commentary on its reintroduction? "It’s very retro."
Retro.
That’s rich, coming from someone who yesterday (yesterday!) blithely announced that married women cannot be raped by their husbands.
Yes, you read that right: According to Schlafly, saying "I do" is explicit consent to sex, anytime, anywhere, under any circumstances. "No" doesn’t come into it. Here’s the direct quote:
"By getting married, the woman has consented to sex, and I don’t think you can call it rape."
Sweet jumping Jebus on a mattress. This bitch wouldn’t recognize rape if it walked up and shoved itself up her snatch.
