Phyllis Schlafly,
Republican activist
and leader in the religious right movement
The Christian Post recently published an article by Phyllis Schlafly in which she explains why the gender wage gap is a good thing...and why increasing it would be even better:
"While women prefer to HAVE a higher-earning partner, men generally prefer to BE the higher-earning partner in a relationship. This simple but profound difference between the sexes has powerful consequences for the so-called pay gap.
Suppose the pay gap between men and women were magically eliminated. If that happened, simple arithmetic suggests that half of women would be unable to find what they regard as a suitable mate...
...If a higher-earning man is not available, many women are more likely not to marry at all."
This is a woman who has built a successful career lecturing about why women should not have a successful career.
The dichotomy of her message and her actual life is not lost on those who think--no matter their gender. But, I'll give her a break. Being stuck in the 1950s would confuse me too.
