And what is wrong with a National Organization for Women?

It perpetuates the concept that there are womens issues instead of human issues. It divides.

And it validates the concept that men and women can and should be treated differently solely on the basis of gender.

Coming together around issues, around concepts, around principles is good. Maybe some groups will have more women than men, some more men that women.

But coming together around race, or gender, or such simply validates the concept that people can and should be treated differently because of their race or gender.

That's what we were fighting in the 60s to overcome. Look at a person as a person, not as a white or black or man or woman.

It's going backwards, not forwards.

That's what's wrong with it.
