Think Progress Right-Wing Pundit Phyllis Schlafly Decries Government Assistance For ?Unmarried Moms?
70% of unmarried women voted for Obama. And this is because when you kick your husband out, youve got to have Big Brother Government to be your provider.
Schlaflys argument is specious. She talks about subsidizing illegitimacy, but not all single women are mothers. Less than 20 percent are mothers to young children. The rest include millions of widows, millions of young never-married women, and plenty in between some of whom have kids, but most of whom do not.
The fact that programs like UI and food stamps help unmarried women is only a byproduct of the system designed to help everyone in need men and women alike. In fact, men are receiving more UI benefits than women the unemployment rate for men is a full 2.2 points higher than it is for women.

All the other errors of feminism flow from this one fundamental error, a counterfactual insistence on the equality of the sexes. Men and women are not the same, and therefore are not equal.
When Phyllis Schlafly Speaks the Truth, Democrats Call It Extremism : The Other McCain
---------------------------------------
Apparently, women can only "make it" if they are supported by a "man". Well, at least Phyllis Schlafly isn't targeting the gays anymore. Perhaps she saw how bad she was hurting her son?
Sweetie....Phyllis Schlafly has been attacking strong, independent women since the 60s...this is nothing new from that crazy loon.
But it seems that since her son was forced out of the closet, she has stopped attacking the gays.
I saw one of her interviews on, believe it or not, "Bill Maher" and she said she couldn't understand how her son turned out gay. The kids were home schooled, they were fed a diet of Bible and they were kept away from TV and anything that could contaminate their little minds.
They were exposed only to the traditional man and wife, meaning her and her husband. She went on to say how she was totally subservient to her husband exactly as it's spelled out in the Bible so she just couldn't understand how her son "caught" gay.
At around that point, Bill made one of his silly jokes and she simply stopped talking.
The point is, she did everything "right" and he still turned out true to his own nature. But at least she didn't disown him and throw him out into the street penniless, like Alan Keyes did. Of course, for him, it was in the name of love, Christian morals and family values. So it was apparently, "OK".
