There's No Question That The Black Middle Class Has Benefited Greatly By The Civil Rights Movement. But There Is A Large Black Underclass That Does Not Have Access To Jobs.

Men, Also, Have In Them Enormous Capacities That They Have To Repress And Fear In Themselves, Living Up To This Obsolete And Brutal Man-eating, Bear-killing, Ernest Hemingway, Crewcut Prussian Sadistic, Napalm All The Children In Vietnam, Bang-bang You're Dead, Image Of Masculinity, The Image Of All Powerful Masculine Superiority That Is Absolute.

If Divorce Has Increased By One Thousand Percent, Don't Blame The Women's Movement. Blame The Obsolete Sex Roles On Which Our Marriages Were Based.
