“Feminists are having a hard time being elected because they essentially are unlikable. ... Find out if your girlfriend is a feminist before you get too far into it. Some of them are pretty. They don’t all look like Bella Abzug.”
— Phyllis Schlafly, ladies and gents. The Hairpin wryly says that Schlafey, "reveals she's been emotionally scarred by her pretty, feminist ex-girlfriends. No, but she is sharing dating tips with Citadel students."
And on the other end of the spectrum from today's Friday QuoteDay, we've got ERA-fighting Schlafly claiming that women who want things like equal pay for equal work aren't to be taken seriously or liked by men, because even if they are kinda hot, they don't have the proper empty vessel status required for men to tolerate/date them.
(And by the by, the civil-rights supporting, gay-rights championing, feminist, environmentalist Congresswoman -- and therefore "likable" enough to be elected -- Bella Abzug rocked her glasses and big hats style in a way that would put Lady Gaga to shame.)

empty vessel status - sounds interesting. Maybe the reason is kinf of an agressive attitude? Or I'd say... not being nice or something...
1.) If you want to date an empty vessel, buy a life-sized Real-Doll and project your desires on it to your heart's content.
2.) If someone does not want to get to know a potential partner because of the very human things about them, like beliefs in feminism or other social justice, that's the real "not being nice or something."
