1960s Pioneer Steinem: Every Woman Stands for Feminist Movement

[Vor Lady]

Steinem doesn’t speak for me; now or ever.

“I think there’s also been a concerted campaign against the word. We’ve had many, many years of Rush Limbaugh referring to femi-nazis,” she says.

It wasn't Rush, but hags like Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem who made the word 'feminism' a problem. And Rush always qualifies his 'femi-Nazi' statements by saying that he doesn't mean MOST feminists, but those 25 or 30 most vocal and strident women (like Steinem and Friedan) who the MSM always puts forth as the leaders of all women, even though the group they led, the National Organization for Women, never had very many members, and certainly NOT most women in this country.

ROFL yes, but it is a whole not more natural to BE, than rabid feminist is! A happier thing to be too.

NOW Hags, along with the Socialists, certainly have done a LOT of damage to our country in 50 short years.

I’ve led an entire life so far achieving things and choosing career paths that most women normally wouldn’t. I refuse to give them any credit, whatsoever. They didn’t do it for me. I did it myself.

I believe a woman CAN have it all (a career, solid marriage, kids, etc.) she just can’t have it all at once, because someone will suffer. And it’s usually we women who suffer the most for buying into this cr@p in the first place. :)

One example of Steinem's true disregard for women is that while she was editor of NOW magazine, she never ran a story about the dangers of smoking on women's health. Gee, could the reason be that Steinem actively sought and got advertising dollars from cigarette manufacturers? (estimated at 50% of magazine's ad revenue)

[puroresu]

Isn’t it telling that 40 years after Steinem’s heyday, the Detroit Free Press news article extolling her influence is flanked on the left by an ad featuring a scanty bikini-clad young woman holding an electric guitar that probably would not have met the standards of the print version of the paper in the early pre-women’s lib era for good taste?

There's a reason for that. Feminism is at war with all the natural interplay between men and women. It has successfully undermined most of the positive, natural instincts of society, which are now labeled "sexism". These include men's desire to protect women, to commit to them, and so forth, and women's desire to confirm the male leadership position in the family and society while devoting themselves to children. The only thing surviving the purge is the human sex drive, which is too powerful to be erased. So women, having been deprived of all other normal expressions of femininity, have nothing left except their overt sexuality. Men, having been deprived of the traditional masculine role of provider and protector and head of the family, have nothing left but sexual desire for the increasingly overt sexuality of women.

[SuziQ]

My Daddy was a good old boy from the woods of Mississippi, the kind of man Gloria Steinem and her NOW friends would consider a neanderthal, but when we were growing up in the 50's and 60's, he never once told me or my sisters that we couldn't do something because we were girls.

Maybe the feminists who came from the 'sophisticated' Northeast had fathers who told them something different. Too bad for them, but their anger and bitterness about it sure has been harmful to society.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I agree 100%. Having an intelligent, caring, loving Dad (that you’re just a little bit afraid of disappointing) who thinks the sun rises and sets on you (and your siblings) and does nothing but encourage you along the way, is worth his weight in GOLD.

Daughters NEED Dads. They are too few and far between these days thanks to ‘Dads’ being replaced with ‘Sperm Donors’ and Men, as a whole, were tossed out with the Femi-Nazi’s trash.

Those of us that had/still have great Dads are the women in this world that are making a difference.

You are nothing in this world without your fan base. :)

Many fathers are perfectly comfortable with and very good at taking care of their baby daughters and sons.

Many women prefer to spend their time pursuing career aspirations.

[savagesusie]

I am not saying there are not exceptions. I know plenty of men that are better than women at taking care of children. I am saying that women are biologically designed to take care of young children—in the first two years of life especially, when it is critical to bond for future emotional health. Also nursing is connected to optimum emotional health, IQ, and stress reduction in babies—men can’t do it. It is the warmth of the skin on skin, eye contact,voice recognition, etc., that involves all the senses vs. bottles and different handlers.

Working mothers are under too much stress and should have the support of a man to create the optimal environment for the child. Feminists lie when they say you can have a baby and dump it off in daycare at 6 weeks. Daycare is an abomination and up until 20th century it was considered an awful thing to do to children. Lenin popularized the concept with egalitarianism and sticking women in the workplace away from their young children. Lenin wanted no family loyalty, because it took away from loyalty to the state. He wanted dysfunctional families because the chaos it created made a totalitarian govt. essential. He also had access to brainwashing the children in their formative years to create little Marxists who became perfect useful idiots.

No primates let their babies be cared for by strangers in institutions. Throughout history, orphanages were considered a necessary evil. Only insects allow strangers to care for their young.....

Then why do men always get yelled at for leaving the seat up?
