Women respond to Gloria Steinem's apology:

[cui bono]

181. Wow are you off the mark.

Read the comments by the women who were insulted.

Real Time is not just a comedy show. It is a political discussion with comedy on the side.

Steinem said that young women can't think for themselves, that they just follow the boys on one of the most important matters in our country, choosing a president. Not only that, it was a jab at Bernie by saying the boys are for him and he's only getting women because they are blindly following the boys over. Both of those are incredibly shallow and insulting.

And then she had the nerve to blame the women she insulted by saying they misinterpreted her sexist remark? This is the face of feminism being willfully tone deaf because she thinks these women are choosing the wrong candidate, because they are choosing a man over a woman.

That is so much more than a "flip remark on a comedy show"! It speak to the very core of what feminism is and how partisan people get that they are willing to throw issues aside just to have a woman elected. It's very sad and scary. I would think Steinem would be better than that. Perhaps her view of feminism has become a bit antiquated in these times. Women who think for themselves are choosing the candidate they think is the best candidate. If it isn't the woman, so be it. Their choice. Diminishing their choice because it isn't one's own choice is bullshit. Diminishing it the way Steinem did is sexist.
