The feminine mystique and Marxism
Feminist icon Betty Friedan is credited with starting the modern-day feminist revolution – though some of the original feminists (e.g., Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott), had they lived to see her, surely would have denounced Friedan as an extremist genocidal demagogue. Suggestive of Marx, Engels, Nietzsche, Mead, Kinsey and Freud, Friedan’s private life defined her radical ideology as demonstrated throughout her writings, particularly her most famous book, “The Feminine Mystique” (1963).
As I demonstrated in previous essays analyzing the giants of the liberal/progressive canon from Machiavelli, Descartes and Rousseau to Darwin, Marx and Freud, once again, we witness with Friedan that autobiography masquerades as “science.” Friedan’s book tragically opened Pandora’s box to mothers forsaking marriage, children and motherhood in a Faustian pursuit of careers outside the home. However, Friedan’s greatest treachery was that her book 10 years later led directly to the legalization of infanticide we euphemistically call abortion, in the case of Roe v. Wade (1973).
