Twitter was certainly having a field day with this, and I have a hard time openly bashing the recently dead, so instead I'll just copy the one tweet I retweeted on the subject:

If you describe Phyllis Schlafly’s beliefs as simply and clearly as possible people will accuse you of speaking ill of the dead.

Also, you wanna know how ol' Phyllis tanked the ERA? She said men would be allowed to use women's bathrooms if it passed. And people believed her.

It took Satan too damn long to take this one back into his arms!

She also said it would lead to same-sex marriage, leading to the older state constitutional bans which, thank god, her vile ass got to see overturned.
