Schafly is an inveterate anti-feminist who has made statements like these on the quotation throughout her career. There are no feminists who agree that their objectives include what Shafly claims they are. And feminists do not urge sexual promiscuity. They do urge that women have the same right to sexual promiscuity as men. In some cultures women’s adultery can be grounds for divorcing her and her losing her rights to her children, and in Muslim cultures death by stoning is the consequence. However, adultery on the part of the male has few if any legal consequences. When feminists object to that patent differentiation, they do NOT advocate that women commit adultery, but that the law treat men and women equally and fairly.
