Well, the PR, anyways. Unfortunately, the PR isn't always what matches their actual agenda.

In particular some... colorful statements made by Betty Friedan and Simone de Beauvoir regarding housewives (let's just put it this way, they don't even WANT housewifery to even be an option, but to utterly eradicate it), and they were the ringleaders. For example:

"No woman should be authorized to stay at home and raise her children. Society should be totally different. Women should not have that choice, precisely because if there is such a choice, too many women will make that one." - "Sex, Society, and the Female Dilemma," Saturday Review, June 14, 1975.

"A parasite sucking out the living strength of another organism...the [housewife's] labor does not even tend toward the creation of anything durable.... [W]oman's work within the home [is] not directly useful to society, produces nothing. [The housewife] is subordinate, secondary, parasitic. It is for their common welfare that the situation must be altered by prohibiting marriage as a 'career' for woman." The Second Sex

And don't forget Roe v. Wade, a culmination of the stuff Women's Liberation promoted. Besides, I'm not sure what good Second-Wave Feminism is or has done when at least two of the ringleaders of the movement were a bisexual pedophile who's idea of "empowering" women is to groom them to have their virginity robbed by her on-off-again boyfriend Jean-Paul Sartre and then cast aside, leaving them extremely broken in the aftermath, and even partaking in the robbing of virginity herself, as well as forcing one of the girls she groomed to undergo an abortion that nearly cost her her life (not to mention got fired for such behavior and only got fired instead of hauled off to jail because her "family" vouched for her), and a woman who is essentially a Stalin cheerleader and a domestic abuser to her husband, as well as a pathological liar. Oh, maybe three, including Gloria Allred, since she also was more radical than even those two (who were already radical as it was).

I don't necessarily have anything against women getting jobs, so long as it's before they marry and have kids. But I do have something against outright abolishing housewifery altogether, which is what Friedan and de Beauvoir pushed.

Personally, if I were to back any kind of feminism, it would be the Susan B. Anthony-style Suffragettes, at least they were pro-life and knew full well the ramifications to Women if they ever allow for abortion or even the pill, something the second and third-wave feminists do not seem to care about.
