All these issues flared up again in early September, when the "San Francisco Chronicle" reported that Patricia Ireland, head of National Organization for Women Inc.(NOW), had "lashed out" at consumer advocate Ralph Nader for neglecting feminist issues. Next day, Nader fired back: "I have been fighting for women's rights before Patricia Ireland knew the term"--and "I'm old enough to be your father, little missy!" he didn't add. Nader mentioned credit discrimination, unnecessary operations and auto-dealer ripoffs as issues pioneered by him and ignored by feminists. NOW led the fight against sex discrimination in credit back in the seventies.
