Orthodox feminism's secondary solution, to make men more involved in children's lives, has been stymied by its simultaneous commitment to divorce, unwed parenting, and female sexual "autonomy" as signs of social progress. If men aren't in the home, they can hardly do any of the housework, can they?
Until feminism can come to grips with sexual reality -- with the ways in which men and women differ -- it will remain flummoxed and silent about some of the most important problems women now face.
We come into this world not only as human beings, but as boys and girls who long for and need a culture that affirms the value of both male and female. The sex roles of the 1950s were unsatisfying to too many women, and so in need of reform. But to jettison the idea of sex itself, to make androgyny the goal, was feminism's fatal mistake.
We are still waiting for the next generation's Betty Friedan to lead us anew.
