David Horowitz:
“Even the much-abused Mr. Friedan – also a leftist — continues to praise his wife for her political “achievements.” On his website, he writes, “I am proud of what she did for the world… Betty being monstrous in pursuit of her goals doesn’t bother me at all. She changed the course of history almost singlehandedly and it took a `monster’ perhaps, a driven, super-aggressive, egocentric, almost lunatic dynamo to rock the world the way she did. Unfortunately, she was the same person at home, where this kind of conduct does not work.”
What Mr. Friedan seems to be saying is that it was all right for his wife to abuse everyone else, but not to abuse him. This sort of thinking is typical of the Left.”
“And why are people like Friedan lying long after they have anything to fear from McCarthy committees and the like?
Surely no one seriously believes that people who reveal their Communist pasts these days have anything to fear from the American government.”
“The idea that America punishes those who betray her is laughable, as is the idea that leftists have anything to fear from their government if they tell the truth…
…So why the continuing lies? The reason is this: The truth is too embarrassing. Imagine what it would be like for Betty Friedan (the name actually is Friedman) to admit that as a Jew she opposed America’s entry into the war against Hitler because Stalin told her that it was just an inter-imperialist fracas?
Imagine what it would be like for America’s premier feminist to acknowledge that well into her 30s she thought Stalin was the Father of the Peoples, and that the United States was an evil empire, and that her interest in women’s liberation was just a subtext of her real desire to create a Soviet America. No, those kinds of revelations don’t help a person who is concerned about her public image.
Which is why it probably has seemed better just to lie about this all these years. The problem, however, is that lying can’t be contained.”

“With ‘The Feminine Mystique,’ Friedan began a long tradition among American feminists of seeing compulsory domesticity as the main consequence of 1950s McCarthyism.” Well, perhaps it’s not American feminists Friedan has sold this bizarre version of reality to, so much as American Communists posing as feminists and unsuspecting young women whose only understanding of this past will come from their tenured leftist professors.”
Richard Poe
Hardline Stalinist
“Beginning in college, Friedan – then known by her maiden name of Betty Goldstein – was already a hardline Stalinist, active in the communist movement. Though Jewish, she supported Stalin’s 1939 nonaggression pact with Hitler. When orders went out from Moscow to all Communist Parties worldwide to treat Hitler as a friend, many communists couldn’t stomach it and broke ranks with Stalin. But Friedan was among the loyal few who obeyed.
“Friedan’s secret was shared by hundreds of her comrades on the Left,” though not, of course, by the unsuspecting American public – who went along with her charade presumably as a way to support her political agenda,” writes David Horowitz (not Daniel), in a 1999 FrontPageMagazine.com article called “Feminist Icon Debunked.”
Friedan later married a fellow leftist, Carl Friedan, and devoted her life to the cause of Marxist revolution. Friedan spent her married years working as a “labor journalist” – a professional propagandist for the Left. Her full-time maid did the housework. As her ex-husband Carl later noted, Friedan “was in the world during the whole marriage” and “seldom was a wife and mother.””
