One wonders if Adolf Hitler, were he still alive, would now be racking up honoraria as a "former world leader". I think it's important that as many of us as possible register our outrage. Thanks for providing the links for us to do so. When Joy of Resistance is on-air again after the WBAI May fundraiser, we will be sure to carry this story in our feminist news.

Phyllis Schlafly getting an honorary degree is indeed a travesty. One wonders if Adolf Hitler, were he still alive, would now be racking up honoraria as a “former world leader”.

I think it’s important that as many of us as possible register our outrage. Thanks for providing the links for us to do so.

This is also the woman who said there’s no such thing as marital rape because a woman agrees to sex when she takes vows. I don’t recall that particular vow. I wonder what church she attends. No man has ever hated women more, and yet Washington University will honor her because she’s a “leader of the conservative movement.” (Washington University Tells Its Female Grads They Are Second Class Citizens) [...] [...] This is the woman who came on the talk shows in the 1970’s declaring that, if the ERA passed, our sons would die by the truckload because the women in combat with them would be more worried about breaking their nails than rushing out to save them.
