Gloria Steinem

[LongTimeListener]

I've been waiting for **** for two days on this, and he's failing. So, fine. Here.

The quote:

"And, when you’re young, you’re thinking, where are the boys? The boys are with Bernie..."

Gloria Steinem
February 7 at 9:08am ·

In a case of talk-show Interruptus, I misspoke on the Bill Maher show recently, and apologize for what's been misinterpreted as implying young women aren't serious in their politics. What I had just said on the same show was the opposite: young women are active, mad as hell about what's happening to them, graduating in debt, but averaging a million dollars less over their lifetimes to pay it back. Whether they gravitate to Bernie or Hillary, young women are activist and feminist in greater numbers than ever before.

**** might report that she's dead.

 

[da man]

Or ask if she's a Hall of Famer.

Gloria Steinem: Out and Loving It!

 

[YankeeFan]

What does she think was misinterpreted about what she said?

What else could she have meant?

She didn't mean for people to get mad about it. Duh! You can't talk to those young airheads who haven't been through the struggle though.

Gloria can't carry Lena's jockstrap these days.

 

[MisterCreosote]

I believe Gloria believes that these women believe all the boys believe in Bernie.

 

[SpeedTchr]

Who?

 

[BDC99]

Or ask if she's a Hall of Famer.

Or ask if she's ever been in Lena Dunham's (ahem) kitchen.

You can throw in Madeline Albright scolding young women and basically saying that since they have lady parts they should vote for Clinton.

Both sound like Hubert Humphrey supporters scolding the kids working for Eugene McCarthy in 1968.

What's the reaction if a dude says this?

If it ends up Trump v.Hillary, I would expect Donald to say exactly that. And he'll be able to point to this example.

I don't think feminist Trump will criticize young women for supporting Hillary.

 

[old_tony]

No. He'll be able to say that by Albright's standard all men should vote for him. And Hillary's surrogates won't be able to argue.

...has never been in my kitchen.

And probably hasn't been in hers either.
