She could have done much better as a real whore, rather than just an attention whore.

In a speech Sunday at the March for Racial Justice rally on the National Mall, feminist Gloria Steinem said “gender was invented” to control women and reproduction and that “race was invented … to justify colonialism and slavery.”
“So all the women in the world are in some degree of trouble, because it’s all about controlling reproduction. It’s the why of it. Did you ever wonder why? Yeah I mean, the first step in every hierarchy is patriarchy in order to control reproductive,” Steinem said.
“So, and racism, caste in India, class. It all makes it much worse, because to maintain those divisions, you have to control women even more. So these things have always been intertwined. It is just not possible to disentangle these deep caste systems. It is absolutely impossible. They can only be uprooted together,” she said.
“So let’s just remember folks, okay that gender was invented in order to control reproduction, and we’re now disinventing it, right? That race was invented in fact in order to justify colonialism and slavery, and we have not done a good job in this country of uprooting the racism that justified slavery. We got rid of slavery, but not this,” Steinem added.
She also said that we “should learn from Germany and the Holocaust lessons that every child in German schools learns.”
Steinem also held native Americans up as an example, saying that they didn’t have the words “he” and “she” in their language.
“Was the people who lived here for you know 99 percent, the native Americans, the indian country still didn’t have he and she in their language. The idea of society was a circle, not a hierarchy, not a pyramid. It’s relatively recent that all this has happened, and I find it helpful - I don’t know about you - to understand that it wasn’t always that way,” she said.
Steinem also said that black women are dying disproportionately because of the Hyde Amendment, which bans the use of federal funds to pay for abortion, and placed the blame on President Donald Trump for “punishing” women in Africa.
She talked about the bracelets she was wearing - one for Rosie Jimenez, who died in 1977 because of complications from an illegal abortion - and another for lack of funding for abortions overseas.
“They’re like POW bracelets, right? And one is for Rosie Jimenez who was the first woman to die because of the Hyde Amendment, because of no funded abortions at 1977. She was 27 years old, and this one is the lack of funding for Medicaid for abortions in other countries,” Steinem said, as she explained showing the bracelets to a man on the train while visiting the nation’s capital.
“So I showed these to him, and I said, who is dying are not white women. Yes, some white women are dying, but disproportionately, Rosie Jimenez was not a white woman, and it’s the women in the countries in Africa who are being punished by this policy that Trump, who is not the president. He lost by 10 million votes. Let’s just remember - 3 for Hillary and 7 for other people. … I have yet to call him the president,” she said.
“And to the spirits of Rosie Jimenez and all those in Africa who have left us because of the policies, the killing policies of this country, I just have one note of news, which is that the Republican Governor of Illinois just overturned the entire Hyde Amendment so that abortions are now available to everybody, not just to women who can afford them,” Steinem said.
“And this is big, because this is the state where Jesse Helms came from, so Trump is so bad that even some Republicans are woke,” she added.
Steinem closed by saying what she believes to be true about emotions, saying that “laughter is the only free emotion,” because “you can compel fear, obviously, but you can also compel love if people are kept dependent for long enough.”
“But you can’t compel laughter. It happens when two things come together and suddenly make a third. It happens when you understand something. It’s when you learn something, so I give that to you as a measure,” she said.
Then she warned: “Do not hang out any place where they won’t let you laugh, including churches and temples.”
The March for Racial Justice is described on its website as “is a multi-community movement led by a coalition united in our demands for racial equity and justice. We march because as long as U.S. laws, policies, and practices remain steeped in white supremacy, we will never see our basic human rights and civil rights fully realized.”
“It is our duty to dismantle this system of racist laws, policies, and practices that dehumanize people of color. Our mission is to harness the national unrest and help focus it into a national mobilization of people committed to working in local and nationwide efforts to undo racism until justice is won for us all,” the website added.
>>are woke
Out of all the epic stupid in her statements, this new use of the word “woke” is by far the stupidest.
“gender was invented” to control women and reproduction and that “race was invented … to justify colonialism and slavery.”
These people decide on their agenda.
Then they determine the history necessary to support that agenda.
Then they write the history.
It *is* that simple.
It’s idiotic GHETTO-SPEAK and therefore gibberish crap.
I will take the Bible every time over any babbling liberal.
The fact that there are two genders is most definitely not the act of man.
Why do these lunatics go out of their way to deny acts of God and attempt to justify their perversions?
A mystery for the ages...
Gender was invented to make fun of ugly broads like you Steinem.
“Out of all the epic stupid in her statements, this new use of the word “woke” is by far the stupidest.”
I’ve seen it a lot in the past few months-——how on earth did it start?
It has been driving me NUTS !

True, but it wasn’t until relatively recent in history that we could see the whole picture, before we were only seeing different parts of the world. After the circumnavigation of the globe the larger picture became clear.
In my opinion there are 3 primary races (European, Asian, African) and then simply different percentage blends of the three establish the basis all of the others. ie. middle eastern people are a blend of all three, Mediterranean peoples are mostly white with a touch of African, SE Asians are mostly Asian with a touch of African, ect.
You can say that again!!!!!
She is right, but not in the right way.
God “invented”/created two “genders” and both are to submit/reproduce together (Which Steinem neglects to point out/say).
In the end, Gloria Steinem just speaks and perverts good/natural “things” just like her spiritual father, Lucifer.
Years ago at the Abilene Zoo I was in the gloss enclosed area opposite the Jaguar area. Wailer, the older brother of the two Jaguars, was a few inches away on the other side of the glass.
In a Fletch moment I barely pointed behind me, at an empty baby carriage, and said: “Look, a helpless baby!” whereupon Wailer jumped to attention to stare at the potential morsel.
So don’t dismiss the ability of animals to understand.
Now, that aside, there were other times you could tell that the animals at that zoo were really somebody’s little darlings. Once I made an ear scratching motion towards Wailer and he threw his whole shoulder against the glass as if to say: “Yes, please!” There was also a secretary bird that loved head scratches. But you didn’t eat peanuts in front of the elephant without sharing ... she knew how to use a piece of a tree to systematically tear down her enclosure if you didn’t share....
Why did this headline make me laugh?
Kind of like saying “Stupidity was invented to control intelligence.”.
There is still time for her to seek Christ and be saved, but I doubt it.
Gee....all this time I thought the Birth control pill was invented to control reproduction. Stupid me....
My first thought.
Bimbo.
Sounds like it wasn't "invented" at all to me.....
My thoughts exactly. There's so much self-contradiction in what she said, it's just mind-boggling.
Notice how Steinem talks about black women and abortion, and the supposed health risks which accrue for not having it subsidized (!), while completely ignoring the fact that black babies are disproportionately destroyed by it?
Why isn't that racist, Gloria? Why don't you tell us about eugenicist Margaret Sanger, Gloria, and why she was so gung ho on "reproductive rights"?
And also, Gloria Steinem expects America to subsidize abortions not only domestically, but overseas as well?
And Ms. Steinem probably still wonders why so many women reject her strident version of feminism!
And are we really supposed to believe that American Indians didn't have words for "mother", "father", "male", "female", "he", and "she"? I'd certainly like to learn more about that, because I think she's full of sh!t on that point.
And last time I checked, there were dozens and dozens of Native American tribes and languages. Is she really trying to tell us that none of them had words for "he" and "she"? What the heck has Gloria Steinem been smoking in her peace pipe? Because I think it's a lot stronger than weed...
