“N.O.W. and other extreme feminists have been smart rebuffed by public opinion and legislative bodies, they have worked hard to make their agenda into law by taking their pleas to activist, liberal judges who are willing to write law from the bench,” says IWF President Nancy M. Pfotenhauer. “And they have permeated college campuses to such a degree that they have successfully killed intellectual diversity college students with differing views are routinely intimidated into silence.”
“Our forays into the American campus have connected us with countless bright young women frustrated by rigid feminist propaganda of male hatred and female victimhood,” Pfotenhauer adds. “But they need our support to battle the feminist campus bureaucracy and insist on true intellectual diversity.”
“IWF has long fought a guerrilla battle against such tactics. Today, we are pleased to announce we have the resources to launch a full-scale defense of both the Constitution and intellectual freedom on America’s campuses.”
IWF will take several major steps in the coming months:
- Major expansion of personnel and programs
- Amplify IWF presence in court battles
- Dramatically increase resources for IWF’s highly acclaimed campus outreach — development of additional campus chapters, a nationwide speaker’s bureau, an improved website, and new publications
- Building upon the enormous success of the IWF website (over a million hits per month), launch a newly designed site providing daily reporting and instant commentary

“For far too long,” Pfotenhauer notes, “feminist groups like N.O.W. have claimed to speak for American women. We’re issuing fair warning: extreme feminists, get to your foxholes because IWF is on the attack.”
