Continued from Page W hats 1 by Phyllis Schlafly exemplified by the United States and communism as Reprinted from the Feb. demonstrated by the nations of the Red bloc. The task, it would seem, is to achieve some kind of peaceful coexistence agreement between these two great forces. But the question comes: Can we negotiate with the Reds? Unfortunately, and in spite of the optimism reflected in some liberal areas at the apparent detente being achieved with some factions of the Reds, many experts on communism do not believe it is possible to negotiate successfully with them. In other words, if by negotiation we mean give-and-ta- efforts and ke reaching a just compromise regarding an issue, it is not possible to negotiate with the Reds. In the first place, they make negotiation a case of heads I win, tails you lose. There is simply no way of coming out ahead when you enter negotiation efforts with the communists. The Reds take the bargaining position that what belongs to them is theirs for keeps; what belongs to others is negotiable. Thus, they are negotiating in the other partys territory all the time. They set up inflexible standards or positions and do not waver in upholding those standards for settlement. They expect the other side to do all the conceding. When the United States or any other free nation offers to compromise and negotiate, it is not taken by the Reds as a gesture of good will; it is considered by them as evidence 1972 Phillis Schlafly Report, 618, Alton, Of all the classes of people who ever lived, the American woman is the most privileged. We have the most rights and rewards, and the fewest duties. Our unique status is the result of a fortunate combination of circumstances. 1. We have the immense good fortune to live in a civilization which respects the family as the basic unit of society. This respect is part and parcel of our laws and our customs. It is based on the fact of life - which no legislation or agitation can erase - that women have babies and men dont. If you dont like this fundamental difference, you will have to take up your complaint with God because He created us this way. The fact that women, not men, have babies is not the fault of selfish and domineering men, or of the establishment, or of any clique of conspirators who want to oppress women. Its simply the way God made us. civilization has developed the Our law and custom that, since women must bear the physical consequences of the sex act, men must be required to bear the other consequences and pay in other ways. These laws and customs decree that a man must carry his share by physical protection and financial support of his children and of the woman who bears his children, and also by a code of behavior which benefits and protects both the woman and the children. -- Judeo-Christia- n The Greatest Achievement of Women's Rights This is accomplished by the institution of the family. Our respect for the family as the basic unit of society, which is ingrained in the laws and customs of our civilization, is the greatest single achievement in the entire history of womens rights. It assures a woman the most precious and important right of all - the right to keep her own baby and to be supported and protected in the enjoyment of watching her baby grow and develop. The institution of the family is advantageous for women for many reasons.

The family gives a woman the physical, financial and emotional security of the home for all her life. The Financial Benefits of Chivalry 2. The second reason why American women are a privileged group is that we are the beneficiaries of a tradition of special respect for women which dates from the Christian Age of Chivalry. The honor and respect paid to Mary, the Mother of Christ, resulted in all women, in effect, being put on a pedestal. This respect for women is not just the lip service that politicians pay to God, Motherhood, and the Flag. It is not - as some youthful agitators seem to think - just a matter of opening doors for women, seeing that they are seated first, carrying their bundles, and helping them in and out of automobiles. Such good manners are merely the superficial evidences of a total attitude toward women which expresses itself in many more tangible ways, such as money. In other civilizations, such as the African and the American Indian, the men strut around wearing feathers and beads and hunting and fishing (great sport for men!), while the women do all the hard, tiresome drudgery including the tilling of the soil (if any is done), the hewing of wood, the making of fires, the carrying of water, as well as the cooking, sewing and caring for babies. This is not the American way because we were lucky enough to inherit the traditions of the Age of Chivalry.
