Women are liberated in all ways except one
Women can hold the same jobs as men. They can play the same sports as men. They get as many college scholarships and dollars for athletics as men. Women can join the same clubs as men.
Women are liberated in all ways except one. They are not allowed independent political thought. No that's one area where women are not allowed to be liberated.
The latest example - Terry O'Neill, President of the National Organization of Women slamming the statements of female commentators on Fox News - "I think that anti-woman backlash is to be expected from anti-woman conservatives."
But the limitation on liberation does not just apply to conservative women. Gloria Steinem previously said that young women supporting Bernie Sanders were doing so because that's where the boys are. Madeleine Albright on the same subject said there is "a special place in Hell" for women who don't vote for Hillary Clinton.
Sorry ladies - liberation only goes so far and then it stops. Like the 1800s and early 1900s before you could vote, your opinion on politics does not count. Or to paraphrase the old line - When we want you're opinion, we'll ask the NOW to tell us what you opinion is."
