Gloria Steinem says young women support Bernie Sanders because 'that's where the boys are'
Blasting News ^ | February 7, 2016 | Mark R. Whittington

The first mistake that Gloria Steinem, the aging feminist icon, made was appearing on Bill Maher’s HBO show “Real Time.” The second mistake she made was offering an opinion as to why young women are flocking to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, the venerable avowed socialist. “When you’re young, you’re thinking, ‘Where are the boys? The boys are with Bernie,' she said."

Getting candid in her old age.

Madeline Albright said “there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women” while bumping up Hillary I’m sure.

Do you think she was talking about Carly Fiorina? No - because conservative women aren’t really women to progressives. Nor was Sarah Palin a woman, nor is Nikki Haley, nor were any of Bill Clinton’s victims. None of them were women of interest or consequence as far as progressives are concerned.

She was stumping for Hillary - and that’s the only woman she was referring to. This whole thing about “supporting another woman” is totally bogus.

Yes, they are clearly “boys”, as no true “man” supports socialism.

I don’t have a problem with young men being idiots. IIRC correctly, even Churchill was quoted as saying “If a man has not been a communist by the age of 25, he has no heart. If a man is still a communist at the age of 30, he has no brain.”

The issue of letting people vote without first establishing that they have some basic living skills and ability to handle basic responsibility, THAT I have a problem with.

Gloria Steinem’s as relevant as eight track tapes.

She remembers the 1960s. Anti-war protests were a great place to socialize.

the second mistake she made was not criticizing the Muslim world’s treatment of women, as Bill Maher tried to get her to.

The failure of the left (and the Democrat Party) to criticise the dar-al-Islam is a monster reason I left that party.

Hmmmm. Seems like this hag lost all relevancy about 60 years ago. But to some she’s an “icon”. Really? If your daughter has to sign up for the draft someday soon, maybe a thank you note would be appropriate to send to this hag. Hey, equal rights. Right?

Do you think she was talking about Carly Fiorina? No - because conservative women aren’t really women to progressives . . .

I've read several articles on FR that say Carson isn't really black or diverse because he's a conservative, Rubio and Cruz aren't Hispanic/Latino because they don't share Latino cultural values, and similar views on women. "Diversity" is a code word (dog whistle), since liberals like those words, for "agrees with the far left fringe". As used in political discussions today, diversity has nothing to do with race, sex, or anything else except being a big government socialist.

Exactly. The problem lies in allowing ignoramouses to vote.

Fell for Steinem's line, did ye?

She is a shrivveled up hag who is still spouting poison, and you fall for it? On this forum you fell for it? No smart person let's someone else's talking points get inside their head.

P. J. O’Rourke said he was a liberal in college, because liberal chicks were easy. Adopting liberal positions was a way of ingratiating yourself with liberal chicks, and liberal chicks put out.

Gloria Steinem, on the other hand, is just delusional. Young women like Bernie because he is promising to be Santa Claus and Hillary is a stale old hack.

What about fish and bicycles? I thought modern women didn’t need men.

Its not a talking point — I have a working memory and good set of eyes and ears. I was 18 - 25 once and I have a 20 year old son who has friends of similar age and gender... Even mentally defective hags can figure out a few things that are readily observable from time to time.

Go get a fresh bowl of Wheaties if some whizzed in your this morning, Andy.

I went to a Farmers Market yesterday in Sarasota, Fl. The stands consisted of one Vegan, Organic produce, bakery and food stand after another. The people there, mostly over 50 years old, radiated liberalism. There were two young men walking around with Bernie Sanders buttons that they were trying to hand out. I did not see one person take one.

And now Steinem is quoted.

New surprises daily to discover certain people of the past remain alive to be quoted.

It's not Steinem's the toxic meme that Bernie's support among "silly young girl's" is because they are voting with their libido? That meme is so in your head.

Now the question is why did you fall for it? And why are you arguing that you fell for nothing after it was pointed out to you. Do you have some sort of fantasy about hordes of young women chasing you in the street? I suppose every red-blooded male has that fantasy, but most of us don't confuse it with reality. Perhaps you should take it up with your therapist.
