[CitizenM]

And this is a man the N.O.W. endorsed every time! How stupid those women libbers are. They think because a man throws them a smile and promises to give women equal rights/pay/status that he respects women.

Ted was out for all he could get, any way he could get it, and becoming a champion of women's (and any downtrodden or emotional)causes gave him the advantage he wanted with them. He didn't respect women, he used them. Just like most liberals who purport to care about women's status. It is all a sham for them and dumb women fall for it every time. So much for women not being "sex objects."

As far as Ted was concerned, and most liberal politicians, nothing is more important than scoring with women. Not their families or the women's feelings.

They were never “women libbers” per se. Just socialists who had found a catchy mantra
