Description

Typically, the free-form discussion following a Firing Line debate is fairly rambunctious. This one is gloriously off the charts. When the shouting subsides enough for sentences to be heard, they are well worth listening to. EFG: "The original women's movement has succeeded brilliantly. It is frequently said that the 1980s were a backlash against women, yet during the 1980s women went from earning 63 cents on the male dollar to earning 95 or more cents on the male dollar for entry-level positions. No social group in history has revolutionized their status in comparable fashion." ... ASH: "Please wake up, Betty! Something very fundamental is happening and you don't have a clue. There is a fundamental revolution happening that is about people recognizing that in the last thirty years we have spent $5 trillion on welfare and every single indicator is worse than it was." ... KK: "The original question of this show is: Has the women's movement gone too far? And I think the answer is, We haven't gone far enough. There is real injustice continuing to exist in this nation as a result of gender discrimination."
