There is more creative freedom in the private conversations, and when it comes to events in the public record, it sticks to the facts, often quoting word for word from feminist leaders and their critics. Schlafly's family and supporters were critical of the show. "The show makes us think that women seem to be our own worst enemies, and that keeps us from recognizing who our worst enemies are. I'm not saying women don't have conflict, yes, we have conflict, but in general We don't have the ability to be our own worst enemy." "That's the problem with this ridiculous TV show. I'm sure the actors are all good, it's just the story that's wrong."
