The feminist writer Gloria Steinem apologized on Sunday for remarks about young women who support Bernie Sanders, not long after Hillary Clinton defended Madeleine Albright over her comment that there is "a special place in hell" for women who do not support Clinton.

Steinem posted her apology to Facebook, writing that she "misspoke" on Friday when on a talk show she spoke about women who support Clinton's rival in the Democratic presidential race, Senator Bernie Sanders.

Appearing on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, Steinem said women "get more activist as they grow older. And when you're younger, you think: 'Where are the boys? The boys are with Bernie.'"

On Sunday she wrote that she had not meant to imply "young women aren't serious in their politics".

All of the ‘sexism’ comes right from Hillary and Bill themselves, so keep whining about it, your the one that caused it...

I’m really hope Hiladabest beats Bern so we can see months of the Clinton’s hoisted on their own petards before losing in November to Trump.

And when you're younger, you think: 'Where are the boys? The boys are with Bernie.'"

Boys? The witch uses the term 'boys'? She would be the first to scream if young women were called 'girls'. Get a life Gloria Steinem ...
