It was the most worthwhile thing she ever did in this life.

Tom Hiddleston?
The Munchkins are dancing in celebration.
Ironically, Steinem was actually slightly conservative by today’s standards. I know, wild.
Fortunately, I married a woman who never heard of Gloria Steinem.
It saddens me more than I can say to utter that truth.
God made men and women to need each other. Biology makes us that way. And psychologically we need each other.
But men and women have been rejecting marriage, because men have a harder and harder time finding women who will accept them for what they are, so men are simply staying away.
And women have raised their expectations so much that only a small percentage of the male population can meet them. So they don’t marry either, and when they do, it won’t work out.
A man and a woman together can be far more capable and powerful in the pursuit of happiness than most are capable of individually, because each sex brings to the table something that the other lacks. In other words, men and women can make each other a whole.
And Gloria Steinem, her excecrable feminist movement and the disrespectful and destructive “A Woman Needs a Man Like a Fish Needs a Bicycle” saying has sold women a bill of goods that is wholly false, and which was embraced by tens of millions of gullible, angry, and stupid women, has served its purpose of salting the fertile earth that should exist between men and women.
It saddens me and makes me angry.
Absolutely true.
I expect the lefty media to lionize this “feminist” as a “champion” of “Women’s Rights.”
I well remember her quote about “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle!”
She did more to set back women than anyone except maybe Germaine Greer who wrote “The Female Eunuch” - motherhood, family, husbands, kids - all oppressed women and held them back. Gloria Steinem was of this ilk.
Result? Millions of childless, husbandless, bitter women who chose careers over family and ended up with nothing. I have several in my family - big feminists who are now spending their twilight years alone.
I am pretty angry at her and her legacy on pushing this feminist poison on women, which I see as a spit into the eye of God, and I doubt that she or any of her acolytes would see it any differently. They would be quite proud of that characterization, no doubt.
But I am trying to be a Christian, and I will pray for her. I will try to do that genuinely.
65 years ago, this would be an episode on the Twilight Zone.
Yes. That is the crux of it. I am struggling with this, because in reflecting at the damage she and her movement have done, I find it hard to forgive. But I am going to try and pray for her, because this anger I feel at her and her works does me no benefit. I feel it pulls me further away from Christ.
I feel particularly angry about the way it has served to divide men and women.
These are things I am looking to Christ to help me with.
I am particularly angry because a young woman I know who just got married last year is getting a divorce. She has rejected God, and after a year, has rejected marriage, and the man she married.
It breaks my heart, and I feel that this dynamic we are discussing is at the root of it.
Gloria, meet Jesus.
If you're on the left and you feel strongly about an issue, you're an "Activist." If you're on the right and you feel strongly about an issue, you're an "Extremist."
...and Jane Fonda will be on the front row bawling her eyes out.
“The damage that has caused to society in the spillover into the institution of marriage is incalculable.”
And it’s only going to get worse as more and more women are getting into powerful positions in government and industry.
We’re quickly becoming a matriarchy, which means we’re going to be a country run by emotional basket cases. Who’s going to stop this disaster?
The good thing I’m seeing is this next generation - Millennial and Z - aren’t buying into it - my daughter and many= nieces haven’t mentioned anything about “women being oppressed” - and all have had beautiful, traditional marriages and are busy starting families - two babies were born into our family in the past year - after a long, long drought - we are all over the moon with happiness.
Meanwhile, the crabby old maid “aunts” are stewing alone and wondering where it all went...
