Hungary is now on the brink of becoming a neo-fascist state.
Susan Faludi
the point of feminism ... is to win women a wider range of experience. Feminism remains a pretty simple concept, despite repeated - and enormously effective - efforts to dress it up in greasepaint and turn its proponents into gargoyles.
Susan Faludi
the central argument of the backlash - that women's equality is responsible for women's unhappiness.
Susan Faludi
the heart of the backlash argument: women are better off 'protected' than equal.

Susan Faludi
To be unwed and female was to succumb to an illness with only one known cure: marriage.
Susan Faludi
In the '30s and '40s, the search for Hungarian national identity led famously to an alliance with Hitler and the destruction of more than a half million of the nation's Jews. And here we are now, more than 70 years later, witnessing a resurgence of xenophobia and authoritarianism, and not just in Eastern Europe.
Susan Faludi
Trump's Make America Great Again program trumpets a national identity built on scapegoating, self-pity and grandiosity, and the promise of a strongman.
Susan Faludi
The media and the rest of popular culture weren't recording people's reactions to 9/11 they were forcing made-up reactions down people's throats.
Susan Faludi
That so-called feminine ardor for clothes shopping had been flagging for some time. Between 1980 and 1986, at the same time that women were buying more houses, cars, restaurant dinners, and health care services, they were buying fewer pieces of clothing-from dresses to underwear.
