Farewell Betty
Betty Friedan, author of The Feminine Mystique died yesterday in Washington. Betty changed the face of feminism for ever. Declaring equality not superiority. Men as allies not as the enemy. And sexuality as pertinent only to the individual. More about her life here and here.
Congratulations for getting in before me re the passing of Betty. I agree with you in all aspects. I have written my own vale in my own bumbling fashion but it was in thanks for her spirit and guts. I am glad we are one on this subject.
Perhaps some day we men will get the message. The way things are going now, it looks like it will take a while.
Perhaps in my next lifetime I will see the difference.
Perhaps I will have the good fortune to choose Australia as my country of birth.
Perhaps you information techies will have gotten this blogging thing perfected even more.
Serve well! Live fully! Do good work!
