Just what are the harridans progressing towards?
NOW has always been an insult to the feminine woman. Their role models, advocacy & purpose has never been to celebrate the historically honored female virtues; rather the celebration of envy & resentment; the pursuit of antagonism between the sexes, and a general disdain for the natural order, which for humans no less than other sexual creatures, requires both sexes--functioning as such--for any future.
It is one of the clearest indicators of the Alice In Wonderland quality that the Left has brought to the West, that NOW can be treated as a respected voice for American women, in the Media & Academia. (And see Women Hostage To Contrived Delusion.)

When the NOW hags first started making noise in the late sixties, I was struck by the amount of hatred and vitriol not only towards men but also towards their own country. After reading bios of some of the more prominent leaders of the radical feminists (most of them), I was again interested to discover that many of them came from privileged families but spouted Marxist dogma.
My conclusion was that most of them were very unhappy persons by nature. Think Andrea Dworkin. We have a NOW person who writes a lot of letters to our local lib rag. I knew a co-worker who was a high school classmate of this woman. He said she was always angry and unsmiling. She gets her photo in the paper occasionally, and it's a picture of a very angry looking person. Angry people make up a lot of NOW. Bitter people who will never be happy under any circumstances.
