Summary

In this quote, the speaker is responding to critics who suggest that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) breaks up families and that feminism is dangerous. The speaker argues that their own personal ordeal, presumably related to the ERA or feminist ideals, seems to bring satisfaction to those who oppose gender equality. However, the speaker counteracts this argument by asserting that marriage itself can also be precarious. By doing so, they challenge the idea that promoting equality through feminism is solely responsible for damaging relationships or families.

That's how this industry works. So until the Internet becomes our source of entertainment - and watch it, I believe it will - this is how things go.
