Gloria Steinem thinks the United States is ready for a female commander in chief, but said during an interview on ABC News' "This Week" that "it is going to be hell."

The activist and writer sat down with ABC News' Cokie Roberts to discuss her recently published book, "My Life on the Road," which chronicles her journeys around the world educating herself and others about the women's movement over a period of five decades.

Steinem was an early Hillary Clinton supporter, but even as recently as 2008, she did not believe the country was ready for a woman to crack the ultimate glass ceiling.

We just had almost 8 years of a Girl in Charge, what the hellis she talking about

[Twinkie]

“Provided it was a Margaret Thatcher. That would be fine.”

[goodnesswins]

YEAH.....someone like SARAH PALIN, you witch.

[Tigerized]

How ‘bout we elect someone competent this time around, and not worry about gender?

Or is that too simple?

Dear Mzzzzzzz. Steinem.

Been there, done that, and we have the o-photos and frilly panties to prove it.

[AFreeBird]

I’d be more than happy to vote for Sarah.

[annieokie]

I did not make myself clear, sorry. I meant to indicate that I, Myself as a woman never want to see a woman President.

One like Sarah as good as she is, will never be elected. Therefore I don't want any woman, for we will the likes of Pelosi, the Hellary beast or other such ILK.

Woman are far more vicious in the reign of POWER than men ever thought of being, woman just play different, sophomoric vendettas are their specialty.

If you can find us a Thatcher, I may reconsider.

Maggie had more balls than most men in the uk. And was still a woman.

[BRK]

I am so sick of being declared “ready” for this that and the other. When will folks wake up and realize that we are not changing, but we are being changed.

No makeup ,but never forgets the hair dye

[DPMD]

With hillary as commandress-in-chief, it may be hell, but for her it will be very lucrative hell. Steinem may very well have just said that it’s time for a female multi-billionaire.

[yoe]

THIS WOMAN? EVEN STEINEM MUST BE JESTING!

[Timber Rattler]

Then she should be A-OK for a Palin candidacy, right?

[The_Media_never_lie]

If she means Hillary, she is b.s. crazy.

[Safetgiver]

I saw that interviEw tHis morning on a muted TV at my club. My first thought what was “What the hell is Bruce Jenner spewing today?’

[Carriage Hill]

[PROCON]

[bigbob]
