She made a fine career for herself by leaving her children behind so she could fly around the country lecturing women about how they shouldn't work, only fulfill their god given duties of wife and mother.
“Have you noticed that only Christian small-businesspeople have been harassed and sued for refusing to participate in same-sex marriages even though our fast-growing immigrant populations, you know of Muslims, Hindus and other faiths are also opposed to that concept? They want to wipe out the Christian religion. And most of these other religions do not recognize same-sex marriage. I assume there are some Muslim bakers and photographers and other people who have been harassed, but they’re not being attacked and they’re not being criticized.” Phyllis Schlafly
As the head of the Eagle Forum, she was most certainly anti-LGBT.
The bakers and other small businesses aren't being targeted. If they provided the services they offered to everyone equally, they wouldn't get in trouble.
Also, on the flip side, if even a non-religious business owner refused services to someone for any reason, including gender or sexual orientation, you'd better believe it would get big news. Could you imagine the field day for a news outlet to find out that a Muslim baker refused services to anyone?
No. The interesting thing is that "these other religions" who "do not recognize same-sex marriage" including Muslims tend not to discriminate in providing their services. It's Christians who are discriminating and then claiming persecution.
Can't help but notice that third-wave feminists put basically zero attention on Islam, even mainstream Islam, which is a greater enemy to women's rights than anyone.
And the LGBQTXYZ community goes out of their way to apologize for Islam, but a visit to a muslim country could put them in a pine box...
Third wave feminists do not put zero attention on Islam. They speak of it often. When it impacts or affects women, children, society and freedom, they do.Muslim and Christian and atheist feminists alike, have done so. Probably less so than speaking about Christian-centered or based repression of women, as in this country it tends to radiate outward from that base. Probably because we have many more Christians here, than we do Muslims.
So what will KSRR radio in Provo program in her place each day? Will one of those two bat-turd crazy on-air personalities get a spot in her place? Donna would make a great replacement for Schlafly, even for national syndication.

It is the same with the Jews.”

Glad to see the exmo board is expanding to include schoolyard taunts and insults about a recently deceased conservative. Guess that "no politics" thing is okay if our snark is vile enough.
Perhaps it's escaped your attention, but Mormons and fundamentalist nutjobs like Schlafly are birds of a feather.
People feel revulsion for her for most of the same reasons that they feel revulsion for the church and many of its members. Let's not pretend that the two things are mutually exclusive.

Passive aggression is how Christianity got its start. I think it went something like this:
Pilate: Yeshua ben Joseph, you have been charged with disorderly conduct for overturning the tables of money changers in the temple. You have also been charged with feeding a multitude without proper health permits. In consideration of my contempt for the local authorities, I will let you off with a warning if you apologize to Caesar for your actions.
Jesus: Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's. Render unto God the thing's that are God's.
Pilate: What in Hades is that supposed to mean? I will not stand for this disrespect. Centurion, strike the prisoner on his right cheek.
[Smack!]
Jesus: Thank you sir! May I have another? [Turns his left cheek towards Pilate.]
Pilate: Such insolence! Centurion, strike the prisoner on his left cheek.
[Smack!]
Jesus: Thank you sir! May I have another?
Pilate: Very well. We will soon put a stop to this. Centurion, scourge the prisoner.
[Many scourging sounds]
Jesus: Thank you sir! May I have another?
Pilate: More? Centurion, employ the crown of thorns.
[Poking and stabbing noises]
Jesus: Thank you sir! May I have another?
Pilate: That's it. Take this Palestinian bastard out and crucify him.
[Hammering sounds]
Jesus: Thank you sir! May I have another?
Pilate: Jupiter, Juno and Minerva! What's it going to take to shut this guy up? Centurion, stab him with a spear. If that doesn't work, break his legs.
Jesus: Thank you sir! May I have a.... [Gurgling sounds]
I think if you were a woman you might feel like she had more of an undue and stifling influence on your life. She pushed for very strict gender roles for us, but not for herself. Mormons were only very happy to embrace her positions and philosophy. I remember it quiet well from the late 70's. And of course, Gayle Ruzicka championed her cause in Utah, perhaps contributing heavily to many young, gay suicides.

I imagine the irony escapes you that you lay blame for this tremendous social and political impact at the feet of a single woman who held no politic office, no superior power, and no great wealth. Please tell us the great negative impact she had on your life.
You also likely know very little about the actual substance of her arguments against the ERA. You err in claiming she wanted stricter gender roles; it was quite the opposite. She wanted women to be free to pursue whatever they choose. After all it was Schlafly, not some feminist icon who in 1970 when criticized by her political opponent saying she should be home raising her children replied, “My opponent says a woman’s place is in the home. But my husband replies, a woman’s place is in the House -- the U.S. House of Representatives.”
Tall man, Red and whatever other names you use, try sticking to one screen name please.
Sorry, but this is not church where you can spout untruths and people will believe you. It is also not a place where you can spout hatred and not be challenged. I think you would feel more at home in priesthood meetings where you can bathe in your own delusional feelings of self-importance.

Sorry to burst your fantasy. No troll here, and no multiple logins. You're spouting untruths. Ask the admins to confirm if you have a strong testimony otherwise.
> > Sorry, but this is not church where you can spout > untruths and people will believe you.
I'll leave that to you and your fantasies of trolls.
> It is also > not a place where you can spout hatred and not be > challenged.
Please run immediately to your safe space. We have warm blankets and pacifiers there to help you cope with diverse thought. We'll also have English majors there to explain that there's actually a significant difference between "disagreement" and "hatred." Except for SJW who seem incapable of distinguishing between them.
> I think you would feel more at home > in priesthood meetings where you can bathe in your > own delusional feelings of self-importance.
It strikes me that you're a person who knows a thing or two about delusional feelings of self importance.
And in closing, do you have any actual substantive responses, or are you entirely limited to slogans you see on bumper stickers? We'll even allow you to exceed 140 characters.
"you lay blame for this tremendous social and political impact at the feet of a single woman who held no politic office, no superior power, and no great wealth. Please tell us the great negative impact she had on your life."
Since when does a personality have to hold political office, have superior power or wealth to make a negative (or positive for that matter) impact on society? Rush Limbaugh has a megaphone and regularly uses it to impact society in a tangible way. So did Mrs Schlafly.
There are many, many people who work behind the scenes to influence the government and it's laws. They are on the left as well as the right. Some of the more powerful voices have been Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdoch, James Dobson, the Koch Brothers, Tony Perkins, Wayne LaPierre, etc. These men wield a lot of influence and aren't elected to any public office.
I see your point, but see much of the success of these folks as synthesizing popular thought in a way that appeals to large groups.
Those that are popular outside of government hold no real power. They are entirely dependent upon the public for their fame and position. And the public is fickle.
Government officials have significant power, and many need no popularity to wield it.
These people wield tremendous power. Popular opinion, based on numbers is not what pays for fundraisers for office holders. It's the money, not the popular opinion that drives policy.

I read a Facebook post this morning that said if Harvey Milk couldn't live to see same sex marriage legalized in all 50 states, at least Phyllis Schlafly did.
