Betty was disconcerted by lesbianism, leery of abortion and ultimately concerned for the men whose ancient privileges she feared were being eroded.

Friedan definitely was "leery of lebsianism". It was she who coined the expression "The Lavender Menace" and fought hard to keep the lesbian rights movement from infiltrating the nascent feminist movement. But leery of abortion and concerned that men were losing their rights? Never heard these two things about her. Readers?
