In reply to the discussion: Women respond to Gloria Steinem's apology: [View all]cui bono
(19,926 posts)It was not an apology. She blamed the women for misinterpreting what she said when what she said was very clear. But in defending her I see young women who support Bernie being thrown under the bus.
You just said almost the same thing just now: "I don't presume to speak for girls--or boys. I do know that I wasn't above feigning an interest in something to gain advantage in my frisky youth. I only speak for myself, of course. "
wink, wink.
You are belittling their choice of Sanders right there. Is it so difficult to believe that a lot of women - it seems most women these days - think Bernie is the better candidate? That they aren't going to vote for a woman just because of gender? That they don't see feminism as a team sport but as something that empowers them to be able to think for themselves, make their own choices and not be belittled because it isn't Hillary Clinton?
