“I think the main goal of the feminist movement was the status degradation of the full-time homemaker. They really wanted to get all women out of the homes and into the workforce. And again and again, they taught that the only fulfilling lifestyle was to be in the workforce reporting to a boss instead of being in the home reporting to a husband.”

― Phyllis Schlafly

― Phyllis Schlafly
“Sexual harassment on the job is not a problem for virtuous women.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“Feminism is doomed to failure because it is based on an attempt to repeal and restructure human nature.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“Since the women are the ones who bear the babies, and there’s nothing we can do about that, our laws and customs then make it the financial obligation of the husband to provide the support. It is his obligation and his sole obligation. And this is exactly and precisely what we will lose if the Equal Rights Amendment is passed.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“Anyone with a child knows that children learn about the world through binary options: up or down, hot or cold, big or little, inside or outside, wet or dry, good or bad, boy or girl, man or woman.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“The feminist movement is not about success for women. It is about treating women as victims and about telling women that you can’t succeed because society is unfair to you, and I think that’s a very unfortunate idea to put in the minds of young women because I believe women can do whatever they want.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“Our public school system is our country’s biggest and most inefficient monopoly, yet it keeps demanding more and more money.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“A lot of people don’t understand what feminism is. They think it is about advance and success for women, but it’s not that at all. It is about power for the female left. And they have this, I think, ridiculous idea that American women are oppressed by the patriarchy and we need laws and government to solve our problems for us.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“Of course climate changes. Many changes are due to factors over which humans have no control, such as winds, ocean currents, and sun activity. But the liberals want us to believe that climate change is also caused by gases expelled when humans burn so-called fossil fuels.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“And the first commandment of feminism is: I am woman; thou shalt not tolerate strange gods who assert that women have capabilities or often choose roles that are different from men’s.”
― Phyllis Schlafly

― Phyllis Schlafly
“If we don’t stop immigration – this torrent of immigrants coming in – we’re not going to be America anymore because most of the people coming in have no experience with limited government. They don’t know what that is.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“I would not want to be called a feminist. The feminists don’t believe in success for women and, of course, I believe that American women are the most fortunate people who ever lived on the face of the earth, can do anything they make up their minds to do.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“What you learn from my life is, first of all, that anybody can be a leader. You can be a leader. I wasn’t born that way – I developed it, I worked at it. And also that the grassroots can organize and take on all the powers that be and defeat them. That is the lesson.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“My college degree is from a great university in 1944. I got my master’s at Harvard graduate school, completely co-ed, in 1945. My mother got her college degree in 1920. What’s the problem? Those opportunities were always there for women.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“I don’t think the GOP is going to die; I think Trump is going to revive it.”
― Phyllis Schlafly

“There’s no real substitute for the care of the real mother.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“Remember, those that wait upon the Lord will rise up with wings like eagles, and they will run and not be weary. And don’t you ever be weary, because the battle goes on, year after year, and we need all of you young people to join us in the battle.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“Congress should pass legislation to remove from the federal courts their jurisdiction to hear these outrageous challenges to the Ten Commandments and the Pledge of Allegiance.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“Much of the demand for women in combat comes from female officers who are eager for medals and promotions.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“Every country that has experimented with women in actual combat has abandoned the idea, and the notion that Israel uses women in combat is a feminist myth.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“Forcing women in or near land combat will hurt recruiting, not help.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“Bite us once, shame on the dog; bite us repeatedly, shame on us for allowing it.”

“People think that child-support enforcement benefits children, but it doesn’t.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“It is a mystery why any Americans would support the concept of the EU.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“The European nations’ loss of sovereignty to the EU should be a warning to Americans.”
― Phyllis Schlafly

― Phyllis Schlafly
“Now that judges embrace forcibly starving someone to death, Congress should use its appropriation power to starve the judicial budget.”
― Phyllis Schlafly

― Phyllis Schlafly

― Phyllis Schlafly
“The cornerstone of the political correctness that dominates campus culture is radical feminism.”
― Phyllis Schlafly

― Phyllis Schlafly
“It is long overdue for parents to realize they have the right and duty to protect our children against the intolerant evolutionists.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“Big Brother is on the march. A plan to subject all children to mental health screening is underway, and the pharmaceuticals are gearing up for bigger sales of psychotropic drugs.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“National Standards was not a narrative of past events but was leftwing revisionism and Political Correctness.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“Location is the key to most businesses, and the entrepreneurs typically build their reputation at a particular spot.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“Becoming a resident of a state may confer the right to get a driver’s license, but it does not and should not confer citizenship.”
― Phyllis Schlafly

― Phyllis Schlafly
“I believe that the worst thing the liberals did in this country was the Lyndon Johnson welfare system, which broke up millions of marriages by funneling taxpayers’ money solely to the woman. That made the father and husband irrelevant.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“Feminists don’t honor successful women. You never hear them talking about Margaret Thatcher. Take Condoleezza Rice. She’s a remarkable, successful woman. You don’t hear the feminists talk about her or Carly Fiorina or Jeanne Kirkpatrick.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“One of the favorite tricks of the Democrats is to try to get the Republicans to pass over their strongest candidate and nominate instead a candidate who will be easy to beat.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“Highly placed New York kingmakers work toward ‘convergence’ between the Republican and Democratic parties so as to preserve their ‘America Last’ foreign policy and eliminate foreign policy from political campaigns.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“The real fight is within the Republican Party to get it to nominate grassroots-type candidates who the public wants, and not just some ‘echo’ of the other side.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“When I had a baby, I didn’t leave the second floor for six months. I nursed my babies. I was a full-time homemaker. I taught them all how to read before I let them go to school. So I gave them that care in the early life that somehow feminists have been led to believe is demeaning and is not worth the time of an educated woman.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“I think the Con-Con issue is really diversionary. I’ve always been against Con-Con, from the very first the time the idea was raised. Everybody knows that.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“Feminism has changed the way women think, and it has changed the way men think, but the trouble is, it hasn’t changed the attitudes of babies at all.”
― Phyllis Schlafly

― Phyllis Schlafly
“American women are so fortunate. When I got married, all I wanted in the world was a dryer so I didn’t have to hang up my diapers.

― Phyllis Schlafly
“Long ago when I went to college, campuses were about 70 percent male, and until 1970, it was still nearly 60 percent.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
“Boys are more likely than girls to look at the cost-benefit tradeoff of going to college. The imbalance of far more women than men at colleges has been a factor in the various sex scandals that have made news in the last couple of years.”
― Phyllis Schlafly
