Talk:Phyllis Schlafly (view source)
Revision as of 18:35, December 10, 2008
, 18:35, December 10, 2008→Her views vs. the American Left
::I respect her a great deal, but disagree with several of her views and would be willing to contribute to an analysis of them (not as a "representative liberal", but as someone who disagrees on specific issues themselves). The first example that comes to mind is Mrs. Schlafly's view that restraining orders are, in general, unfair to men and a tool of the feminist agenda <ref>http://www.eagleforum.org/column/2008/aug08/08-08-08.html</ref>. Another is her contention that spousal rape is not comparable to rape by a stranger, because when a woman marries she's consented to sex, and as long as no other beatings or violence take place a husband has the right to force a sex act on his wife even when she's unwilling. <ref>http://www.studlife.com/2.3474/1.94406</ref> --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 13:17, 10 December 2008 (EST)

:::Dinsdale, we're not here to discuss ''your'' views or disagreements on the matter, but rather her relation to a broad political movement. [[User:RodWeathers|- Rod Weathers]] 13:29, 10 December 2008 (EST)

::::Then I'm happy to stay out of it. The reason I posted here was in response to Ed Poor's statement above that "People typically just say 'I disagree' or 'Her views are outrageous', '''but they don't say what they disagree with or why'''. Maybe they don't even know.". I'm willing to provide some specific examples that are supposedly never provided, but if this is unwelcome then I'll stay out of this. --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 13:35, 10 December 2008 (EST)
