The mother of feminism, Betty Friedan, in her book "Life so Far", talks about how she compared American middle-class housewives with concentration camp inmates. She told women in her book "The Feminine Mystique" that they were living in comfortable concentration camps and this "comfortable concentration camp" slogan is one that was repeatedly endlessly by feminists while they were demonizing the nuclear family.
So here's Betty in her book on page 132 merely saying "whoops I now disagree with that part of my book", but of course she issued no public apology and was never held accountable for the division that line caused between men and women. This is the kind of hysterical rhetoric that fueled the beginning of the modern feminist movement and very little has changed today.
