KPFA's Jan Legnitto interviews George Gilder, author of the book Sexual Suicide (Quadrangle Press, 1973). Gilder claims that women's place is primarily in the home and that if she chooses to explore new paths in both the job market and in the sexual arena that it will lead to the destruction of American society. Legnitto criticizes the content of Gilder's anti-feminist book, citing the erroneous statistics he uses to craft his arguments.
