In the NYT magazine.

Quite long but an excellent read on how the party went from George Bush sponsoring the Family Planning Act in 1970 to Gingrich winning in 1978 by attacking his opponent for being female and working.
Frank Rich posted:
The new GOP was hostile to female liberation, period, not just female sexual freedom. The pitch was articulated by Newt Gingrich in his first successful congressional race in Georgia in 1978. His opponent, a state senator named Virginia Shapard, crusaded for the Equal Rights Amendment and bankrolled her own campaign. That uppity profile gave the Gingrich forces an advertising message: “Newt will take his family to Washington and keep them together; Virginia will go to Washington and leave her husband and children in the care of a nanny.†Newt won by nine percentage points. One of his campaign officials tied his victory to the strategy of “appealing to the prejudice against working women, against their not being home.â€
Frank Rich is left of center but the article is full of interesting information and he doesn't let his bias get too far in the way of relating that information. It is more than 500 words though so I expect it will be too difficult for most outposters. |

1970..?  May as well just go back a few more years and showcase the race riots under President Lyndon Johnson.

That was the period of transition. The point of the article was to chart how the Republicans went from being the pro-woman party to the anti-woman party. Since 1978 they've never really looked back.

Is this the same Frank Rich that was in prison but then Clinton pardoned him?

I thought it was the guy who was Jim Kelly's backup with the Bills.

R's have become the anti-woman party in much the same way D's have become the anti-minority party: by demeaning them and casting them in the perpetual "sit at the little kids table while the adults figure out how to help you" role.

The Republicans put forth a woman on the Presidential ticket. The misogynistic Dems thought about it, and in the end sent Hillary to the back of the bus.
Any Dem that voted for Hillary should be outraged at her treatment by the left's machine.

Women are doing fine despite the failure to pass the equal rights amendment.
So what would have been the point of passing it? Would they be finer?
