Meghan Markle’s participation trophy case is starting to fill up. It was announced Monday that she’ll receive the 2023 Women of Vision award from famed feminist Gloria Steinem next month. Perhaps the committee behind the Women of Vision could benefit from a trip to the optometrist. The award comes courtesy of the Ms. Foundation, a Brooklyn-based organization which called Markle a “feminist, champion of human rights and gender equity and global role model.”

Activist and author Gloria Steinem said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v.Wade, America was not a democracy. Anchor Joy Reid said, “I want you to talk a little bit since we have you, and this is another multiracial woman’s movement that is now unfortunately thrust upon us, the end of Roe v. Wade. It is something that is going to hurt all women.” Steinem said, “It is unspeakable, really. We are a unique democracy in the world in failing to understand that women have a right to control our own bodies. Otherwise, we’re not...

Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a fiery speech at a pro-abortion activist gala on Tuesday, calling all Democrats to fight for abortion rights. The vice president spoke at the EMILY’s List gala in Washington, DC, referring to Monday’s leak of a Supreme Court justice’s opinion suggesting that justices were preparing to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Marxist political coalition Was active from 1992-1998 Endorsed Barack Obama for Illinois state senate seat in 1996 Co-founded in 1992 by Daniel Cantor (a former staffer for Jesse Jackson's 1988 presidential campaign) and Joel Rogers (a sociology and law professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison), the New Party was a Marxist political coalition whose objective was to endorse and elect leftist public officials -- most often Democrats. The New Party's short-term objective was to move the Democratic Party leftward, thereby setting the stage for the eventual rise of new Marxist third party. Most New Party members hailed from the Democratic...

With children increasingly being exposed to the “normality” of transgenderism, there’s growing interest among children to pursue a gender change when they are not intellectually mature enough to be capable of such decisions. A few moments of thought show how worrisome this is and the unfair effects that emanate from these allowances.As we all know, all human beings are different in appearance, abilities, and personality. Part of growing up is becoming comfortable with who you are. In middle school and/or high school that’s a slow process but it picks up as we get older.When it comes to biological gender, most...

Signatures include J.K. Rowling, Bari Weiss, Noam Chomsky and Gloria Steinem Liberal writers, professors and activists have come together and signed an open letter in the hopes of ending "cancel culture." "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling, New York Times opinion editor Bari Weiss and political activist Noam Chomsky are a few of more than 100 names attached to the piece titled "A Letter on Justice and Open Debate" that was published Tuesday in Harper's Magazine. "Our cultural institutions are facing a moment of trial," the letter begins. "Powerful protests for racial and social justice are leading to overdue demands for...

To Hollywood, Schlafly was either a confused victim suffering from a chronic case of Stockholm syndrome or a purely evil, power-hungry denigrator of women — or both. In Hulu’s recent biopic “Mrs. America,” the fourth episode of which was released Wednesday, Hollywood attempts to depict the two sides of the women’s liberation movement. This again only proves how much it misunderstands conservative women.The miniseries tells the story of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), highlighting high-profile female proponents and opponents. Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm, and others are among the featured proponents, while Phyllis Schlafly and her band of activist...

Save up for this! The Hulu streaming channel is debuting a nine-part series called “Mrs. America” on the 1970s-era clash between Gloria Steinem and Phyllis Schlafly chiefly over the Equal Rights Amendment, and given that it’s Hollywood’s take you can be sure it is fully “nuanced.” You know you are in trouble when the very first sentence of the review of the show in the Hollywood Reporter today begins as follows: A century after female suffrage became the law of the land, there is still no federal ban on legalized discrimination against women. So, I’m guessing the writer of this...

Whether intentionally or not, feminist icon Gloria Steinem completely misunderstands what is at the heart of the pro-life movement. In a new interview with Variety, the 85-year-old slammed pro-life activism as “patriarchy” and compared pro-lifers – at least half of all Americans – to Adolph Hitler and the Nazis. To Steinem, a woman’s ability to abort her unborn baby is at the core of freedom and any opposition to abortion on demand is “patriarchy.” According to the interview, “… Steinem said Americans have yet to realize that controlling reproduction is the top priority of any oppressive government, and the very...

Abortion is the highest expression of feminism. It’s the only concern of feminists. Just ask the first lady how many feminists came to her defense after her son’s name was dragged through the mud on Capitol Hill. Ask Kellyanne Conway how many stood behind her when she was insulted as a terrifying killer clown on “Saturday Night Live.” Ask Juanita Broaddrick who came to her defense when she declared that the (liberal) president of the United States had raped her. But abortion? Anyone who dares to oppose abortion is a sexist, a racist and maybe even a Christian. You could...

Abortion is necessary for a thriving world, according to two influential women who recently spoke to Harper’s Bazaar about feminism. Last month, the magazine published an interview between actress Jameela Jamil and feminist icon Gloria Steinem. Their conversation went largely unnoticed by media outlets, but it shouldn’t have – mainly because of the absurd claims the two made. Among them, they insisted that abortion is necessary for democracy. And, they warned, some people control reproduction as a tool for sexism or racism, like white evangelical Trump supporters. From the beginning of their interview, Jamil and Steinem focused on abortion. “I,...

There’s a lot of talk about Chick-fil-A. Most of it is generated by the #fakenews establishment that wants nothing more than to demonize an organization that, historically, has publicly professed its Christian faith that is inseparable from its business practices. “[We are] based on biblical principles, asking God and pleading with God to give us wisdom on decisions we make about people and the programs and partnerships we have. And He has blessed us.” Those were the words of Chick-fil-A’s CEO, Dan Cathy, to the Baptist Press back in 2012 as he confirmed his biblical belief that marriage is between...

Bigotry. Fascism. A threat to women’s rights. Alliances with foreign dictators. A president as entertainer, trampling labor and the environment. It sounds like the contemporary complaints against President Trump. Actually, it’s a 1984 newspaper advertisement from “Scholars Against the Escalating Danger of the Far Right.” “With Ronald Reagan as its performing star in the White House, the Far Right is attempting to take over the Republican Party,” says the ad, published in the November 2, 1984, New York Times and signed by, among others, Carl Sagan, Linus Pauling, Corliss Lamont, Stephen Jay Gould, John Hope Franklin, Gloria Steinem, and Frances...

JNS.org – On his HBO program last Friday night, irreverent comedian and pundit Bill Maher pointed out the blatant hypocrisy of the BDS apologists and proffered some cogent arguments in defense of his position. He chastised the BDS proponents for their willingness to ignore their own biases and tendentious posture towards Israel while theorizing that their natural inclination is to take the side of the Palestinians in the protracted Middle East conflict because of their skin color, religion, and ethnicity. Of the BDS movement, Maher said on his program: “It’s predicated on this notion, I think — it’s very shallow...

The day after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, Linda Sarsour ascended the global stage at the Women’s March on Washington. Although not as famous as other speakers — Madonna, Michael Moore, Gloria Steinem, Ashley Judd, Angel a Davis, Van Jones — she is proving to be equally controversial. Sarsour (shown), a co-chair of the march, is a "Muslim feminist" and well-known Soros-funded activist in New York City, where she is executive director of the Arab Amer ican Association of New York (AAANY) and a director of the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC), a radical migrant-refugee "rights" organization. She is also, say critics, connected...

In 2013, then–U.S. president Barack Hussein Obama awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to liberal "feminist" Gloria Steinem. This is the highest honor the U.S. bestows on civilians. Freedom for what, you might ask? I'm not sure, considering that Steinem is a champion for abortion. Seems a tad oxymoronic to be for women's "rights" while ignoring the rights of all of the unborn women in the process. Steinem had this to say about me and the millions of other women like me: "[Housewives] are dependent creatures who are still children ... parasites." Okay, well, I wasn't yet born when she...

On Thursday's Amanpour and Company on PBS, host Christiane Amanpour spent more than 20 minutes covering newly passed laws restricting abortion in a number of states, but only heard from the pro-abortion side as she spoke with liberal activist Gloria Steinem for almost 10 minutes, and then Planned Parenthood member, Dr. David Eisenberg, who performs abortions in Missouri. After recalling that Alabama Republican Governor Kay Ivey signed into law strong restrictions against abortion, with a major goal of the law being to push the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, Amanpour introduced Steinem as the PBS host continued:...

FULL TITLE: Feminist pastor, 49, proudly unveils a sculpture of a VULVA that she had made from old purity rings - before giving it to a delighted Gloria Steinem as a token of respect and gratitude A feminist pastor has unveiled a sculpture of a vulva that was made entirely with old purity rings. Nadia Bolz-Weber, 49, Christian author and theologian, showed off the sculpture - which was made by melting down the old jewelry - during a conference on Thursday, February 14, when she presented it to American activist Gloria Steinem. The mother-of-two, who lives in Denver, said the...
