Scott at Lawyers, Guns and Money<\/a> highlights this amazing quote from anti-feminist founding mother Phyllis Schlafly<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A man’s life has been sacrificed, and three children have been denied their father by malicious feminists who have lobbied for laws that punish spousal rape just like stranger rape<\/strong> and deny a man the right to cross-examine his accuser. They have created a judicial system where the woman must always be believed even though she has no evidence, one in which the man is always guilty.<\/div>\n

Every once in a while, I forget that there are some opponents of feminism who still haven’t accepted the basic premise that women – even married women – are people, not property. Thankfully, there are always folks like Ms. Schlafly around to remind me.<\/p>\n

As for the case that Schlafly refers to, there doesn’t seem to be anything online about it from trustworthy sources, so I lack enough information to comment. But as Scott points out, it’s clearly not the case that our judicial system automatically believes women – and sometimes, unjustly, it’s just the opposite<\/a>.<\/p>\n
