The feminist movement is dead. It died at the hands of Gloria Steinem. Cause of death was political strangulation.
Gloria Steinem had made a name for herself for purporting to be a voice for women's rights beginning in the 60's and 70's. She was an icon for women for a long time but has repeatedly compromised her alleged principles for politics and her biases finally overtook her.
Limbaugh's "feminazi" term has never been more appropriate.
I began to loathe Steinem for her painful hypocrisy in the 90's when she (and HIllary) went Tammy Wynette during the Bill Clinton Presidency. She stood by her man Bill despite his chronic abuse of women. She went mum while the press pounded Paula Jones. Clinton ally James Carville said "If you drag a hundred dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what you'll find."Â Steinem said nothing. She let Evan Thomas call her a "just some sleazy woman with big hair coming out of the trailer parks" without any challenge or defense.
Then, when Kathleen Willy accused Clinton of groping her on the day her husband died Steinem asserted that Clinton was entitled to a freebie.
"The truth is that even if the allegations are true, the President is not guilty of sexual harassment. He is accused of having made a gross, dumb and reckless pass at [Kathleen Willey] during a low point in her life. She pushed him away, she said, and it never happened again. In other words, President Clinton took "no" for an answer..."The first grope, first assault, the first rape- they don't count and long as it doesn't happen again. What an interesting standard that would be for criminal law. How about the first bullet? How about the first murder?
Steinem's moral compass has rusted considerably since then to the point of being inoperable now. She defends Barack Obama despite his sucking up to Muslim nations which stone women to death for mere accusations of adultery:
Bill Maher spoke with iconic feminist Gloria Steinem tonight about a cause he thinks more feminists should care about: radical Islamic law.Then Steinem jumped the shark. She suggested that young women who aren't lock-step in support of Hillary ClintonHe brought up how horribly women are treated in the Muslim world and asked why it isn't a bigger feminist issue. Steinem argued that it actually is, pointing to feminists in Muslim nations attempting to push reforms.
She said that "all monotheism is a problem," but Maher jumped in to say that Islamic nations are particularly horrible to women and bad on women's rights.
He said, "It would seem that Sharia law in 40 countries should be the cause."
and are lean more toward Bernie Sanders are supporting Sanders to "chase boys."
Feminist icon Gloria Steinem has drawn the wrath of the Twitterverse for suggesting that young women supporting Bernie Sandersâ presidential campaign are doing so to gain the attention of men."When you're young, you're thinking, âWhere are the boys? The boys are with Bernie,'" Steinem told Bill Maher Friday night on the comic's HBO show "Real Time."
Maher leapt right on her comment. "Now if I said that, 'Yeah, they're for Bernie because that's where the boys are,' youâd slap me," he said.
Madeline Halfbright also came down on women who dared to challenge the Politburo line. In fact, there would be a special place in hell for women who didn't vote for Hillary:
Attempting to sway young women to support Hillary, Albright said, "We can tell our story about how we climbed the ladder and a lot of you younger women don't think you have to - it's been done - it's not done and you have to help. Hillary Clinton will always be there for you.Young women in New Hampshire aren't buying this brand of feminism:"And just remember: there's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other," she said

What a broad she is.
Vote for me. I have female body parts.
I’m an outsider because I’m part of 51% of the population.
Interesting Hillary is running a 1970s feminism campaign in a post feminism 2016.
I will NEVER support Serb- and Russian-haters like Madeleine Albright (Halfbright), Hillary and her husband, Samantha Power, Tony Blair, Victoria Nuland (Noodlehead), Kerry, McCain etc., etc.!!!!
I stand with my Orthodox Christian Brothers and Sisters!!!!
All this gender nonsense from Halfbright and Hillary is just a smokescreen to justify their warmongering, and to get women to support them despite their murderous crimes!!!!
And, her pal Allbright telling those who don’t vote for the witch are going to hell. Simply disgusting.
Wow. What amazing bingo wings. I bet if she flapped her arms, she could fly like a bat.
Hey, don’t be mad at Steinem. She’s splitting the vote on the dems side.
This is good!
We should call her Gloria Stymie :)
Gloria S. never was a true feminist. At least, feminism was not her No. 1 agenda.
Or maybe it just died from aging.
Wasn't that Betty Friedan?
Indeed, it was. In 1963, Gloria Steinem was a Playboy "Bunny."
