Ms. Steinem: That chromosome AK Gov. Sarah Palin and NY Sen. Hilary Clinton share is the same one that you and Palin - and all women - share as well. But it is Palin – whom Cindy McCain described as a “reform-minded ... hockey-mommin' ... basketball shootin' ... moose huntin' ... fly-fishin' ... pistol-packing ... mother of five” in her speech to the RNC – who more closely resembles the typical American woman, not you. ...
It’s obvious from your op-ed in the Los Angeles Times that it’s been a long time since you’ve hung out with women who ... can relate to Palin and find a role model in her. ...
You write that “[f]eminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It's about making life more fair for women everywhere” – which is kinda ironic, as you’ve been a professional feminist for most of your life ...
But you are so utterly obsessed with preventing women’s wombs from being used for what they are biologically meant to be used that you have accomplished little to help women who bear and raise their children instead of aborting them ...
For this reason, you and NOW are irrelevant to the lives of most women. ...

Gloria Steinem?
I thought she was dead.
feminism is dead, ladyhood is back.
(as in the proper ladies)
This whole sory episode points out the wide gulf between modern feminism and equality before the law, which was the original intent of the women’s liberation movement.
Yup.
Hey, Glory, did you know there are women in the Middle East getting their heads chopped off? Know why? Because men can. Why don’t you go where you are needed?
Because she is suffering from the audacity of mendacity. She is also a coward.
Because she’s not in it to help women, or anybody else. She’s in it for the personal glory, the fame, the power. Just like BHO.
No, she just looks that way.
Meow!
Go Sarah!
