RUSH: Okay, folks, change of direction. Time to go back to the Grooveyard of Forgotten Favorites. Dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut. I haven't done one of these in a while, but we're gonna do it now. We have a feminist update with the Forester Sisters on the theme song. Vocal portrayal...
(playing of update theme)
RUSH: Actual footage from a pro-choice rally back in the mid-1990s. We're fierce, we're feminists, and we're in your face. It's a pro-choice rally. The Forester Sisters there with the vocal portrayal of just one of many feminist update themes. We had You Don't Own Me, by Lesley Gore. We had Born a Woman, by Sandy Posey. Find Born a Woman. That would be great. Find Born a Woman, by Sandy Posey. I know we've got it in the Prophet System because I downloaded it. Just give me a quick flash when you have found Born a Woman, by Sandy Posey.
This is one of the first tunes I ever played as a struggling young disc jockey star of the future back in 1966. When I was 15 I got my first chance, it was called running the board, at a local radio station in Cape Girardeau. I'm vamping here. Have you found Born a Woman, by Sandy Posey? It's not in your Prophet System? You're kidding. Well, it has to be in your Prophet System 'cause if it's in mine, I got it from yours. Oh, what a bummer. I know it's there; we've used it. We have played it. It was one of a rotating series of feminist themes. Well, anyway, we will continue our exhaustive search. It's in the Grooveyard of Forgotten Favorites. That's why we call it that.
So here I am today, I get up at the usual time, and I go through the usual morning preparation. I leave the house, head on in here to work, sit down, get a cup of coffee, cigar, everything ready to go, and I fire up the computer. The last time I looked at the computer was probably 1:30 in the morning. So I've done a lot of show prep up 'til then. I fire it up. One of the first things I went to today was the Drudge page, and I see a headline that Gloria Steinem is blaming me. "Steinem Blames Limbaugh for Ruining the Word 'Feminism.'" I stared at that, and I stared at that. I didn't click on it yet. I stared at it. And finally I said, "Yes!" Then I clicked on the link, and it's to CBS This Morning.
Apparently Gloria Steinem, former Playboy playmate -- you wonder why they stopped publishing the magazine pictures? Gloria Steinem was on CBS This Morning promoting -- I guess she's got a new book out on feminism. And during the Q&A with Norah O'Donnell, Norah O'Donnell said, "You know, there's still some real issues at stake, Ms. Steinem. I want to start with this. Meryl Streep, who stars in the movie Suffragette as Emmeline Pankhurst, she says, Meryl Streep says that she doesn't even consider herself a feminist. She says she considers herself a humanist. Why is it the feminist label, do you think, still has that negative stigma to it?"
Gloria Steinem Blames Rush Limbaugh for Ruining ‘Feminism’
STEINEM: The word "feminism" has been turned into a bad word by Rush Limbaugh who talks about feminazis every day, and so -- but if people just go to the dictionary and discover that it means a person, male or female, who believes in the full equality of women and men, then they do subscribe to it and it is a majority now, which it didn't used to be.
RUSH: Right. So, once again, your host, the harmless, lovable, little fuzzball, Rush Limbaugh, now blamed for destroying a word, ruining a word, ruining the definition of a word, feminism. But her definition is not even close to the way the feminazis use the entire feminist movement. It was based in leftist ideology. It was based on men are predators and men are evil and men are men. It was designed to create a war between and against men and women. All I did was expose it. That word "feminazi," they never gotten over because that word actually better explained what they were all about. It rang so true. And we've found the tune, folks. Here we go, Sandy Posey, daughter of Jim Posey. This is one of our very first feminist themes, and this irritated 'em like you can't believe.
(playing of song)
RUSH: That's "hurt," not "heard."
(Continued playing of song)
RUSH: Sandy Posey, 1968, 7, 6, something like that.
(continued playing of song)
RUSH: No, it's a real song.
(continued playing of song)
RUSH: No price too great to pay. Sandy Posey. It's in 1966. That was one of the early songs in the feminist update rotation.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: The modern era, the modern incarnation of feminism can be traced back to the late 1960s and really began to intensify in the early seventies, the modern incarnation. A number of different eras of feminism, like the suffrage era. But this era that started in the late sixties and early seventies was one rooted in total anger and remains rooted in total anger. And it was anger primarily at certain other women. Feminism, supposedly Gloria Steinem says, equality for all. Ask Paula Jones about that. Ask any of the women abused by Bill Clinton, where was the NOW gang?
The NOW gang, they're supposedly protecting women against rape and male abuse and behavior like this, and here you have one of the serial female abusers in Bill Clinton, and the NOW gang, the NAGs, my affectionate name for the National Association of Gals, everywhere they could, every chance they had, defended Bill Clinton. If you happened to be a conservative woman, you were not, for all intents and purposes, of any interest to the National Organization for Women. They were a strictly left-wing bunch.
In 1980, I wrote a local newspaper column in Sacramento, California. One day I had writer's block. This is a weekly column and I had writers block. I just couldn't get started on a piece. So I started jotting down one-sentence thoughts and philosophy. And when I got to 30 of them I said, you know what, I'm pretty close to a column here. So I kept going 'til I got 750 words, which is about 35 truths, and that's how the 35 Undeniable Truths of Life were born. And number 24 established me as one of America's scholarly thinkers at the moment it was first heard.
"Feminism was established, in part, to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream."
That was so right on and so true that the reaction to it from the feminists was volcanic. They dropped and lost any sense of humor. They were nothing but a bunch of libs is all it was. It's another manufactured special interest group of liberalism designed to distract people into thinking it was about equality and civil rights for a maligned victim group, women, when in fact all it was was one of the many constituents of the Democrat Party, one of the many disparate groups of the leftist coalition that makes up the Democrat Party.
And they all pushed the same thing: Expansive government, the loss of individual liberty and freedom via the expansive of government, use of government to enforce behavior on people, in this case the feminists thought needed to be punished, which happened to be men. And conservative women. So that's how it all began, and that's why Gloria Steinem says I have destroyed the word "feminism."
Chalk one up for El Rushbo!
Gloria Steinem is a feminazi.
Gloria Steinem, who produced Ms. Magazine, and ran it into the ground, supported only by her rich boyfriend plowing his own money into the thing.
What a joke this hag is.
Rush you diabolical rascal! LOL. Magnificent!
If this bitter hag wants to know why feminism failed, she needs to look in the mirror. Her constant bitching, whining and complaining reminded way too many men of their ex-wives.
Kudos to Rush.
Liberal Rule #1-b: .... Anything negative that happens is always the fault of somebody else.
Way to go, Rushbo!
She's a NIGHTMARE!
There’s always the problem when some “oppressed” (real or imagined) group ventures from the goal of bring themselves up
int bringing others down.
This is where feminism actually “failed”.
They could have achieved greater “rights” for women without denigrating men.
Rush is not responsible for their repeated failure to groom themselves.
Gloria.....in excelsis Deo!
This is the same demon witch that is “Proud” that she had an abortion..what a vile vile “Human being” and Im saying that loosely
Some women maintain their beauty as they age, even in their dotage. It comes from the inside — a positive, hopeful soul is reflected on the outside. Steinem was a looker in her youth, but her tortured insides have made her a perpetually dour, angry crone.
Gloria Steinem is also a long time supporter of Mumia abu Jamal. ‘nuff said.
Apparently Gloria Steinem, former Playboy playmate — you wonder why they stopped publishing the magazine pictures?
*************************************************************************
Ms. Steinem was quite the looker, back in the day.
AH!!! who was that creature in the picture.
looks like that woman from star trek before kirk when they showed her real appearance. And when Spock did a lot of yelling.
