Friday, like other feminists, was especially concerned with the controlling role of the images of "Nice Woman . . . Nice Girl"<ref>Friday, ''Top'' p. 20-22</ref>—of being "bombarded from birth with messages about what a 'good woman' is . . . focused so hard and so long on never giving in to 'selfishness.'"<ref>{{citation | last = Johnson | first = Sonia | author-link = Sonia Johnson | contribution = Introduction to Sonia Johnson | editor-last1 = Foss | editor-first1 = Karen A. | editor-last2 = Foss | editor-first2 = Sonja K. | editor-last3 = Griffin | editor-first3 = Cindy L. | title = Readings in feminist rhetorical theory | page = 297 | publisher = Waveland Press | ___location = Long Grove, Illinois | year = 2006 | isbn = 9781577664970 | postscript = .}}</ref> However, as feminism itself developed "a stunning array of customs, opinions, moral values, and beliefs about how the world of women . . . should conduct itself,"<ref>[[Paula Gunn Allen]], Introduction to Paula Gunn Allen in ''Readings'' p. 210</ref> so too it ran into the difficulty of moralism versus human nature—the fact that "feminism—any political philosophy—does not adequately address sexual [[psychology]]" eventually sparking the '[[Feminist Sex Wars|feminist "sex wars"]] . . . from the early 1980s"<ref>Bright, p. 382 and p. 379</ref> onwards. Against that backdrop, Friday's evidential and empirical concerns continue to address the "open question of how many of their sexual freedoms the young women . . . will retain, how deeply they have incorporated them."<ref>Friday, ''Top'' p. 21</ref>

"Critics have labeled Friday's books unscientific, because the author solicited responses,"<ref name="Sova">{{citation | last = Sova | first = Dawn B. | contribution = Biographical profiles: Friday, Nancy (1937- ) | editor-last = Sova | editor-first = Dawn B. | title = Literature suppressed on sexual grounds | pages = [https://archive.org/details/literaturesuppre0000sova_r9r5/page/281 281–282] | publisher = Facts On File | ___location = New York | year = 2006 | isbn = 9780816062720 | postscript = . | url = https://archive.org/details/literaturesuppre0000sova_r9r5/page/281 }} [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=8VAIbXY8rUUC&pg=PA281 Preview.]</ref> thus potentially biasing the contributor pool.
''My Secret Garden'' was greeted by a "salvo from the media accusing me of inventing the whole book, having made up all the fantasies"; ''My Mother/My Self'' was "initially . . . violently rejected by both publishers and readers";<ref name="Friday, Top p. 8"/> while ''Women on Top'' "was heavily criticized for its graphic and sensational content."<ref name="Sova" />
Friday was also criticized for her reaction to the [[Clinton–Lewinsky scandal]] affair, which critics interpreted as sexist. The journalist [[Jon Ronson]] wrote "In February 1998, the feminist writer Nancy Friday was asked by the ''[[New York Observer]]'' to speculate on Lewinsky's future. 'She can rent out her mouth,' she replied."<ref>{{cite news | last = Ronson | first = Jon | author-link = Jon Ronson | title = Monica Lewinsky: 'The shame sticks to you like tar' | url = https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/apr/16/monica-lewinsky-shame-sticks-like-tar-jon-ronson | work = [[The Guardian]] | date = April 22, 2016 }}</ref>
