    I will say I’m a conservative in 2021. I am not sure I’m exactly Republican because I’ve voted for different people depending on the issue, but I am a Christian and definitely have more conservative views about the roles of women and men. Granted, the responsibility on men in my view is huge. They don’t get to go around not taking care of their family or treating women badly by any means. I’m not going to try and debate anybody here I just wanted to explain where I’m coming from and also say I’ve listened to both of these real women and I think it’s important to consider what the feminist movement did get right. I don’t really agree with much of what Betty Friedan wrote, but I certainly think she was a woman worthy of respect. So was Phyllis. I can see both their sides. I actually would appreciate more debates like this stuff today but people don’t seem to want to do debates in this sense as often. Usually, people just won’t even talk to the other side for fear of “giving them a platform” or something. We should be allowed to speak our minds, even if the opinion isn’t popular. I may have to watch this one if it’s still available.

Pointing out that someone’s views align with someone else’s in history is also fair discussion, but again you’ve gotta be willing to be corrected when the facts don’t hold up. I know this movement wasn’t always respectful, but even so I’d say with social media and political division and job pressure, we’ve gotten much worse as a society about even seeing each other as people.

      Arty_ Curiosity Well, I’m focusing on the woman’s rights specifically. I imagine in the 70s many middle aged religious people were homophobic. The approval of gay marriage in the country wasn’t til the next century. I don’t know her thoughts on race, in the series she seemed to be uncomfortable with the one woman who kept bringing up race issues. Times change, and I think it’s arrogant how we judge people in the past. People want to cancel Washington or Jefferson because they owned slaves. Can’t we carry two thoughts in our brains at once? We can be disgusted by slavery and still recognize there would be no USA without the founders such as Washington and Jefferson. In a 100 years whose to say people won’t be judging us and thinking we are horrible people because we did X or believed Z?

      Nothing wrong with Mrs. Schlafly's viewpoint in affirming that women can be full-time housewives or working women. She says in episode 1 that she voted (or supported) a law securing women's protection from discrimination in the workforce. She simply believed that the ERA went too far because it WOULD create a gender-neutral society and take away a woman's traditional privileges. How is that wrong???

I really doubt that ever happened, it seems Hulu flipped the script because i saw an actual clip where Betty F. was asked to cite a college that discriminated against women B. F. said she could name 30 . Phyllis S. her don't name name just one, the only sound that could be heard was crickets. Nice try Hulu but Betty Friedan got evicerated by Mrs S. she was in way over her head also i heard it said that Gloria Steinem refused go up against Mrs. S.and probably some others.I give them kudos for that,probably heard of the one legged man in a kicking contest.

    This series fabricated a lot of material and really went out of its way to trash Phyllis Schlafly. It also failed to accurately portray the fighting, animosity and acrimony between Friedan and the other man-haters. It's obvious that Friedan was very jealous of Schlafly as Phyllis was younger, prettier, much more put together and had a very successful, happy and loving marriage whereas Betty's marriage was troubled and full of constant fighting and conflict and of course ended in divorce. She also claimed/lied that her husband denied to his dying day! After her marriage ended Betty embarked on a decades long affair with a married man and backpedaled her accusations of abuse by her ex-husband!

      Her husband decided to kill two birds with one stone. He did not want her to run for public office (or study law) and he was not a fan of the ERA. Fighting the ERA diverted her attention off of running for public office and then to focus on fighting against a cause that interested her husband. The fact that this went over your head, means that your judgement should be taken with a grain of salt.
