He's A Male Chauvinistic Piglet.

There Are Some Die-hard Male Chauvinist Pigs And There Are Some Neanderthal Women Who Are Threatened By Equality - But The Great Majority, Polls Say 65% To 75% Of Women Of America, Of All Ages, Absolutely Identify With The Complete Agenda Of The Women's Movement: Equal Opportunity For Jobs, Education, Professional Training, The Right To Control Your Own Body - Your Own Reproductive Process, Freedom Of Choice, Child Care-the Whole Agenda.

I Realized That What I Was Saying Was Threatening, Somehow, To The Editors Of Women's Magazines. That It Threatened The Very World They Were Trying To Paint, What I Then Called The "feminine Mystique."

What Had Really Caused The Women's Movement Was The Additional Years Of Human Life. At The Turn Of The Century Women's Life Expectancy Was Forty-six; Now It Was Nearly Eighty. Our Groping Sense That We Couldn't Live All Those Years In Terms Of Motherhood Alone Was "the Problem That Had No Name." Realizing That It Was Not Some Freakish Personal Fault But Our Common Problem As Women Had Enabled Us To Take The First Steps To Change Our Lives.

You Have To Say No To The Old Ways Before You Can Begin To Find The New Yes You Need.

It Is Easier To Live Through Someone Else Than To Complete Yourself. The Freedom To Lead And Plan Your Own Life Is Frightening If You Have Never Faced It Before. It Is Frightening When A Woman Finally Realizes That There Is No Answer To The Question 'who Am I' Except The Voice Inside Herself.
