NO Alasse...I BEG TO DIFFER!
I never said if anyone has never heard of Betty Friedan they are lazy! I was addressing jbh3's post "personally" because HE stated, in finality, that he'd never heard of her and was probably better off for it.
I had no way of knowing if he'd ever come back to this thread to read the after responses. I was hoping, in my suggestion, that he would come back and read about her.
And in saying "ignorance isn't really blissful" I didn't mean he, or you, or anyone who doesn't know something about Betty Friedan is an ignorant or lazy person. I meant that for jbh to claim he is better off for not knowing is an ignorant statement (ignorant meaning not knowing...not impolite).
Alasse? You choose odd battles! And if I was a know it all...I'd know why you think I suck pond scum!
jbh? TY for understanding the real meaning behind my post. I truely meant no harm or foul!
