Phyllis Schlafly, Conservative Activist and Author, Dies at 92

Phyllis Schlafly, a longtime conservative activist best known for her work in defeating the Equal Rights Amendment in the ’70s, died Monday afternoon. She was 92.

The organization she founded, Eagle Forum, said in a statement on its website that she died surrounded by her family in her St. Louis home.

Schlafly first rose to prominence with the release of her novel, “A Choice, Not an Echo,” in 1964. The book, which chronicled the history of the Republican National Convention, would go on to sell three million copies and become an oft-quoted text for those on the far right. It was distributed heavily in support of Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater’s GOP presidential campaign, and is credited for helping him land the nomination.

Schlafly was politically active for decades after releasing her book, fighting against the Equal Rights Amendment that would have outlawed gender discrimination, calling the movement STOP ERA. STOP ERA transformed into Eagle Forum, the ultra-conservative organization still running with 80,000 members over several states.

One of her main arguments against the ERA — along with her beliefs that it would lead to gay marriage, and make it more difficult for women to obtain custody in divorce cases — was that it eliminated the men-only draft requirement, and feared it would lead to women joining combat. Her protests used symbols of the stereotypical American housewife, such as homemade bread and jams.

Schlafly, however, was hardly the stay-at-home mom she held as an ideal, as her critics often pointed out. She worked overnight through college during World War II, obtaining a Master’s degree in government from Radcliffe, as well as a J.D. from Washington University Law School. She attended every RNC since her first in 1952, and had two unsuccessful bids for Congress.

Her organization Eagle Forum, founded in St. Louis, says on its website that it opposes “the feminist goals of stereotyping men as a constant danger to women,” and that it “exposes the radical feminists.” Among its principles are strong border security, lower taxes and supporting “establishing English as our official language.”

In her later life, Schlafly voiced her support for GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump. “Our greatest presidents have all been men and they’ve been very good for our country,” she said.

In a statement on her death, Trump said, “Phyllis Schlafly is a conservative icon who led millions to action, reshaped the conservative movement, and fearlessly battled globalism and the ‘kingmakers’ on behalf of America’s workers and families. I was honored to spend time with her during this campaign as she waged one more great battle for national sovereignty. I was able to speak with her by phone only a few weeks ago, and she sounded as resilient as ever. Our deepest prayers go out to her family and all her loved ones. She was a patriot, a champion for women, and a symbol of strength. She fought every day right to the end for America First. Her legacy will live on in the movement she led and the millions she inspired.”

Schlafly’s husband, Fred, died in 1993. She is survived by six children, along with 16 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

I never liked her. What gay man who wasn't self-hating would like her? It's good that people don't live forever. Generational change and enlightened thinking can move a culture toward progress.

Thank you for the clarification. Since 99.9% of the post seemed to be a copy of an article from Huffington Post, appearing to eulogize her, your being facetious was lost on me. Good to know.

I rarely read political posts on these boards, and I don't read Huffington Post. I also don't remember many details from regular posters who posted from the days when I last did. Testing my memory, I think you're a somewhat large Black man with a girly side, who once lived in California but now live in Florida, and you used to butt heads with Steven Draker over at the site that dare not get mentioned. Am I close? That's about all I remember. I welcome any corrections.

I can relate to Amy Schumer when she says, if she discovers a new friend is voting for Trump, she feels the immediate need to question the friendship. Thank goodness none of my friends would ever consider voting for Trump, and that's a great thing when you consider some of them are Republican.

Well you're right about Draker. Another on-line TROLL who found pleasure in bullying other posters. Anyone who would support that kind of behavior would guilty by association. If my memory serves me correctly, he is flying stealth these days after he was quite unceremoniously banned for life from another website. You would have to be deeply flawed as a person to get yourself "banned for life."

I can assure you Steven Draker is no TROLL. He is an actual escort you can hire and spend time with. However, much like me, Draker has the capacity to behave like a troll. I'm not speaking for Draker when I say this, but in certain situations, unfortunately, behaving like a troll is necessary. I wish it weren't so, but I know how the haters use the internet to get their jollies.

I know he bullied you quite a bit, and I believe he did enjoy it. There were a few other "regulars" who found you annoying and enjoyed Draker's bullying, too, as I recall. But I view this as: you can't expect everyone to like you or like everything you post.

Your rather direct criticism of Darker is interesting, given the times you click "like" for another well known TROLL who finds nothing but pleasure in bullying other posters. What's up with that hypocrisy? As long as you're not on the receiving end, it's OK? As long as the TROLL "likes" you back, it's OK?

What's the expression? People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones? I believe you just pronounced your own guilt. Perhaps you should tell yourself in the future that the "like" button isn't a juicy piece of chocolate the next time your favorite TROLL posts something that gives you an erection or puts a smile on your face.

Draker did seem to go bonkers for a minute. However, have you ever tried to have a successful escorting career? Shit happens in life, and trying to please some of these review-craven bitches can be like trying to take a fist up the ass without lube. I can imagine after awhile the pressure can get to you. I'm not excusing Draker's treatment of you, but I expect he's grown from his mistakes, as hopefully we all do.

Wow. I guess he hit your sensitivity button pretty hard, because that's a pretty harsh judgment of someone you probably never met. I'm sorry to hear such bitterness coming from you.

I certainly know what it's like to deal with escorts who choose to play TROLL, but I'm not the type of person to carry animosity or resentment around with me. Life is too short, as far as I'm concerned. I feel the best way to deal with a TROLL escort is to NEVER hire him and warn ALL my escort-hiring friends to stay away. Nothing hurts an asshole escort more than word of mouth. The world is smaller than a lot of guys think it is.

I have a feeling, as far as Daddy is concerned, I may be "banned for life" as you say. I don't think I'm deeply flawed at all. In fact, I believe Daddy is the one who is deeply flawed, and I could list each flaw quite clearly. But I no longer care about or take issue with his flaws. He's made changes at his website, and I view the changes as positive. I hope I helped him achieve that in some way.

I always thought Steven Draker was hot. I enjoyed my private conversations with him. There's no one better to escort you around Belgium. I also thought he has great taste in men:

Well this certainly explains your behavior. That makes you and Draker both TROLLS. Of course it wouldn't be necessary, if you could ever figure out how to use that 'ignore' feature.

Actually, no it doesn't. If you are talking about my behavior "over there," only a handful of people know the truth behind my behavior on Daddy's board. Without going into too much detail here, my experience "over there" evolved into a social experiment for a personal research project. I'll leave it at that. I have no emotional investment in Daddy or his site. I mean him no harm and I don't regret one minute of the experience. My research is completed.

Perhaps by your very narrow definition, but your very narrow definition might include yourself, as well. I don't agree with your definition. I also want to believe you're much smarter than that, as well.

Many people don't know that deej would create fake usernames to try and quell a shitstorm. This was his method of controlling the TROLLS, and I assume it was sanctioned by Daddy. I guess by your narrow definition, deej would be a TROLL, too. As much as I would like to agree with you, the truth is more complicated. IMO, a member of Admin should never be permitted to troll, even though some site owners can justify their staff behaving like a TROLL. When the subject is escorting, you'd be surprised by the stupid things the so-called "management" can come up with.

Escorting is a subject that some believe requires special considerations when managing a forum. I don't disagree with that, but every owner has his or her own education, definition, and particular style of "management."

There was no "ignore" feature when I was at Daddy's. He changed the software after my final TO, and I never posted there again, so I never had the chance to experience an "ignore" feature.

Now that I see there's an Ignore Feature here, I will have no problem using it whenever I feel it's necessary. On the other hand, I have terrific self-control. I've remained HIV- through the worst of times. When you consider how much I enjoy sex, that should speak volumes.

IMO, the presence of an Ignore Feature has absolutely nothing to do with my disdain for boards that say one thing in their Comity Commission statement, but permit the exact opposite reality on their board. It's a serious contradiction for any business to take on, and I take the subject of customer service seriously, even if the service is free.

This thread alone should be proof to you that you will not see the same RockHard here that you experienced "over there." However, my opinion and position on TROLLS has not changed, but my reason for participating in an escort forum has.

If you think calling someone a liar is gentlemanly behavior, bigvalboy, then you're no better than any other common TROLL. You may be just another hypocrite that enjoys hanging out on escort boards, and perhaps that is what annoyed Draker and others about you over at the "other site."

Why not Daddy's board? It was the only escort forum at the time. Where else could someone go to analyze what Hooboy had created?

With all sincerity, and certainly not trying to be "funny," I shared honest information with you, and you dismissed me as if I was feeding you with a load of crap. I got your message loud and clear, bigvalboy, MizAnn.

It's very difficult to find true gentlemen on an escort board, and that has always been sad news for escorts.

Once again, good luck Oz!

Call a spade a spade Rocky, you are a liar.  A social experiment ?  how long did it take you to come up with that one ?  

What have we learned by having you back ?  You are still a nasty, self-involved narcissist who enjoys a self-imposed superiority.

You're a fraud in sheeps clothing, but that's OK,  Lots of people like to remain anonymous on the web.  You believe you know everything and are the ultimate word.  We know you are the TROLL expert of troll behavior.  You claim I'm the bully, but I have not bullied anyone, but you on the other hand have criticized and attempted to demoralize every person who attempts to post anything that doesnt meet YOUR approval or standards.  (The standards of a Fake I might add). We know the 1 or 2 people that take you seriously here, the others are laughing at you.  

What's unfortunate here is that you are not also an authority on Insanity;  only then would you be able to help YOURSELF. 

(But I still do enjoy the pics you've been posting)

It's tired Rocky.  You are running out of steam.  And crazy people never know they are crazy, so I forgive you the repetition. 

Now I have to go wipe myself off, because I pee'd my pants reading your "social experiment" comment.  To that end, your whole life seems to be one big Social experiment   Hitler also performed social experiments.  Good company you keep.

How much time did it take to find a graphic of a baby with a cock, err, I mean "pacifier" in its mouth, while trying to "scare" me with its rattle? 2 seconds. The annoying TROLL isn't worth more time than that.

ps I have too much respect and admiration for Dame Margaret Natalie to ever consider reducing her to a cheap, animated gif. Some gay men have no respect.
