In this world, Glorien Steinem was a hideous and corrosive personage

I think I mentioned this on another post, but Steinem is by far the most malignant public face of feminism. Most other radical feminist harpies couldn't really build a following: they were typically hideously ugly, man-hating bull dyke types such as Andrea Dworkin that most women, even liberal ones, found repulsive and didn't want to be identified with.

Steinem preached much the same feminist gospel as the Dworkins of the world, while managing to look and (superficially) act reasonably feminine and attractive (as well as not taking the man-hatred as far as mandatory lesbianism), which made her a role model for young liberal women who went on to hang on her every word.

Glorien Steinem went to Smith College. It was known as a liberal institution even way back then.

The University System is finally collapsing in 2026 which is a positive.

Now that we have AI, it'll be interesting to see what happens next.

That last paragraph in your post is so true.
