Feminists push to drop Goldwater from VP race
Angry feminists in Arizona demand Sen Barry Goldwater be eliminated from consideration for vice president after he joked that a woman's place is cooking. The Arizona Women's Political Caucus and Nevadans for the ERA urge President Ford to drop him, citing the remark as degrading to women. Joyce Hunter says Goldwater acknowledged the remark but called it a joke, while ERA and ERA supporters warn such views endanger half the electorate.
