America was a patriarchy in the beginning and that was a good thing. The Constitution arose from that culture. Between the Civil War and World War II, the first feminist movement took a hatchet to the foundations of the patriarchy, and as a direct result all hell broke loose throughout the culture in the period between World War II and now.

Much of the rest of the world stinks, Gloria...

Notice that she's like many others are still staying their sorry behinds here in the US instead of leaving.

As a Conservative woman, I’d really hate it if Gloria liked me!

I swear that liberals must have an inverter in their brains or else the whole thing is wired in backwards. How this woman can be 180 degrees out of phase with reality is stunning.

‘...it is inevitable that European Americans will be in the minority” in the United States.”

Sorry, Gloria, liberals abort their future. Try again.

Palin has already done more at 44 than Steinem has done in her entire life. Palin will go down in the history books as a trailblazer long after anything Steinem has written has turned to dust and anything that she has ever done has been completely forgotten.

Heres' something interesting that Gloria Steinem wrote in 1970 that could be considered to advocate Sarah Palin's lifestyle with Todd Palin.

'Women's Liberation' Aims to Free Men, Too'

The Washington Post
Sunday, June 7, 1970
By Gloria Steinem
"Probably the ultimate myth is that children must have fulltime mothers, and that liberated women make bad ones. The truth is that most American children seem to be suffering from too much mother and too little father."

Geeze... it sounds like a ringing endorsement for Sarah Palin!

Has she ever had children? I couldn’t find anything on the Internet about this.

“The reason we have Sarah Palin as the vice presidential candidate for Sen. McCain is because he couldn’t have the competent woman vice president he wanted … because the Christian right wing would not allow it,” Steinem told a standing-room-only crowd of about 450 mostly women packing an auditorium at the State University of New York at Cobleskill.

LOL! Since when did Gloria begin speaking for the "Christian right wing?" She sounds desperate. Even so, it must be pretty awful to be upstaged by a woman who doesn't hate men nor walk in lockstep with the perpetually angry feminist movement.

I can only surmise this makes Gloria "angry". It's really so tantrumic. Not getting "her" way and blowing a gasket-sized tantrum at anyone, any movement, anything, any person.

Pitiful to see gender feminism exposed so clearly. Perhaps the gender feminists feel "Left Behind". And why they so cleave to an "end times" scenario of their own.

“Based on a show of hands, roughly 90 percent of those in the audience were not alive when Steinem was in an east Toledo high school where boys planned to work in the factories and “girls had to be virgins or pretend they were virgins” or face rape or sexual assault. “Anything could happen to you and it would be your fault,” she said. “

WHAT?

The B$tch Gloria knows when Sarah becomes Vice President that will be end of her nags as a political power.

Young women with ability and talent will choose Sarah as a role model instead of ugly probable Lesbian man haters.

Give up it up Gloria and get off the stage. We don’t want to hear you nor see you anymore.
