Feminist Gloria Steinem, who never seems to have anything nice to say about men, offered her analysis as to why men criticize Hillary Clinton in an interview with ABC News' Cokie Roberts:
"I think actually that looking at a powerful woman made them feel -- they had been regressed to childhood, because the last time they saw a really powerful woman, they were 8. So they behaved like 8," she said.
ABC tried to offer some context as a means of explaining her strange comments, such as the fact that she grew up in an era where women often faced workplace discrimination. Yet, considering how far our nation has come, to the point where women are now CEOs, secretaries of state, attorneys general and presidential candidates, Steinem's complaints are a bit dated.
Since Clinton is the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, she is fair game for criticism - from men or women. Just like Republicans don't criticize President Obama's policies simply because of his skin color, the GOP does not find fault with Clinton just because she's a woman. They are more likely to oppose a Clinton presidency because of her failure to protect America's national security interests.
In similar news, it is sexist to call Hillary by her last name, according to today's feminists.
Keep yapping Gloria
The thought of a Hilary presidency does make me feel the need for a diaper.
Only if their mother violently abused them when they where children.
With all due respect to Ms Steinem, she is stuck in a late 60s time warp imo.
Hillary is not powerful, she is riding on her husband coattails and he only claim to competence is covering up her husbands MANY affairs and rapes.
Hillary is the exact opposite of powerful, she is the epitome of the beaten wife.
Wow. Hillary was Bill’s footstool. That’s her only real accomplishment. And Glowworm thinks that makes her a “powerful woman.”
Evidenlty Glowworm has the IQ of turnip.
She makes me want to puke. Is that what she means?
Who was the really,powerful woman they all saw at 8, Gloria, you cia-backed propagandist?
Their mommies? Isn’t that a little sexist to assume they all had powerful moms? Or do we just all assume good stereotypes are always true and all negative ones are always false?
God liberals are just walking festering skinbags of hypocrisy.
Steinem was wrong in the ‘60s
Do not mistake “bitch” for “powerful.”
How powerful are the women Bill raped or how do the underaged girls at “orgy island’ feel especially after attacked by Hillary?
No she was Obamas footstool too.
Actually, Steinem's comments, like all her comments, are exceptionally stupid.
If by her comments she means Hillary makes men’s testicles crawl back inside, well yes I suppose she’s right!
YIKES! the crypt keeper. Hillary makes me spit up in my mouth, only girly men shake in thier boots
ROTFL! From feminazi to comediennette.
Right on. Her words and pic are nauseous.
Actually, her head is stuck up her anal orifice.
