I Am Phyllis Schlafly

In 1972, it was widely assumed that all women were in support of the Equal Rights Amendment, then a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution. The amendment had been drafted by suffragette Alice Paul, and the amendment's intention was to give women "equal rights." The feminist movement strongly condemned any woman who opposed the amendment, saying that they were being submissive to man and if they thought for themselves, that they would support the amendment. One woman who opposed the amendment was Phyllis Schlafly, as she felt it jeopardized her right as a woman to live in the home, support her children, cook and clean, etc. She stated that if the amendment passed, all women, whether they wanted to or not, would be forced to get a job, pay taxes, and even be drafted into the military. Several women stated that she opposed women's rights, whereas in fact she supported them: the ones I just mentioned. The liberal left tried as they might, but Phyllis Schlafly spoke loud and clear, and ultimately the Equal Rights Amendment was defeated. Nowadays, it is assumed that every autistic person opposes a cure. The ones who support a cure are tortured and marginalized. They have been equated to a Jew who loves the Nazis or a black who loves the KKK. They have been called sellouts, Uncle Toms, and human rights abusers. However the vast majority of autistic people, including myself, support a cure, and will not stop fighting until one is attained. The members of neurodiversity who try to say that I oppose autistic rights are incorrect; they are the human rights abusers as they try to deny me my most basic right as a human: to live a normal life free of autism. I support autistic rights, just as Phyllis Schlafly supported women's rights. When the liberal left hijacks certain terms and twists and turns them to fit their agenda, society fails to see the real picture. But Phyllis Schlafly didn't give up, and the ERA was defeated. I will not give up, and in the end every single autistic person will be cured and the members of neurodiversity will be thrown in jail for violating the UN Charter of Human Rights.
