Gloria Steinem: Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann ‘Are There to Oppose the Women’s Movement’


Gloria Steinem, a leader of the women's liberation movement of the seventies, was feted at a luncheon on Wednesday in celebration of the HBO documentary about her life, Gloria: In Her Own Words. We were curious what the feminist icon thinks about women like Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann, who are not housewives, yet support traditional values and oppose abortion. "They’re there to oppose the women's movement. That's their job," Steinem said, accusing the two politicians of "selling out" the women's movement. "That’s just the way it is; it's inevitable. Think about Phyllis Schlafly; there have always been women like this."

Later, during a speech, Steinem elaborated. "I can testify, the very same things people were telling me 30 or 40 years ago — it's against nature, you can’t do this, my wife is not interested — all these are now saying, well, feminism used to be necessary, but it's not anymore. That is the new form of obstruction. And, of course, it’s accompanied by the other natural thing that happens if you have a big social justice movement: You make jobs for people who sell it out. So we have Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann, who are on my list of 'the women only a man could love.'"

Steinem hit on many other issues, like wage inequality, while speaking to guests including Tina Brown, Katie Couric, Ann Curry, Gayle King, Leslie Stahl, Christine Baranski, and Kim Cattrall. "It's not that we, female human beings, are better people, or smarter," she said. "We're not better or smarter, but we have not been raised with our masculinity to prove. This is a huge advantage."

oh, yes!

why do they want to be President?

If Sarah is like Michelle, in which she submits to her husband, will it be her husband that is making decision as president for her?

Bachmann will fade away. Hopeless.

Palin will remain with us. The Grifter will continue to milk $$$ for years to come from the gullible cultists who worship her.

the rest of us aren't tempted in the slightest, but rather, repulsed.

Clarence Thomas

Herman Cain

And Michael Steele are there to to oppose the Civil Rights Movement.


This is why you always the judge a person based on his/her intent, words and actions....... and not their race or gender.
