Strongly opposed to affirmative action, Ms. Schlafly said that affirmative action is based on dishonesty, deceit and prejudice. Ms. Schlafly based most of her arguments on the way women are affected by affirmative action, while Ms. Strossen's arguments focused on women and minorities. Another focus of the debate was the use of quotas to enforce affirmative action. Ms. Schlafly said that affirmative action is based on the feminist notion that men and women are interchangeable, which she said is false. There are some jobs that women do not want and men are better at anyway.
Affirmative action is an open invitation to blackmail and extortion.
Affirmative action benefits not only women and minorities, but their dependents as well because their working adds extra income to the family. It is not a mythical monster. It is not a quota system. It is a strategy to rid society from the plague of discrimination. Affirmative action is extortion and it is demeaning to women.
