Bette Midler: “I’m very ambivalent [about feminism]. On the one hand, I completely understand the impulse behind it, and on the other, I think there’s been a lot of damage done. I really resent political correctness and the idea that women who stay at home and raise their kids are worthless. I think that society as a whole hsas suffered and taken a terrible beating because of it. People can say that’s traditional and spit at me all they want. You reach a certain age and your judgment is clearer.” –(Midler to Rolling Stone, November 13, 1997.)
