Gloria Steinem: Young women support Sanders to attract men...

[Revoltingest]

T-Rex isn't in that bracket. I have a picture of @Revoltingest at the invention of rock.

That's not true!
That would be civil engineering.
I was there for the invention of the club.
(I designed the control system, ie, the handle.)

I can't even say Hillary supports her fellow woman. I remember listening to those tapes of her when she was defending a guy accused of raping a young girl in court (IIRC it was as a favour of some sort), and she admitted she herself thought he was guilty: roughly "he passed a lie detector test, which shattered all my faith in those tests being accurate *laughs*).

With Clinton, there seems to be a condescending attitude of "vote for me, I represent you best because I have a vagina".

I think she's actually quite egalitarian.....in the sense that she's bad news for all genders.

Notice how multicultural I am?
I said "all" instead of "both".
I learn....slowly, but I eventually learn.

There's a scientifically researched phenomena which shows that old dogs eventually reach a point of such incredible antiquity that they're then able to learn new tricks.

Ah, that explains it!

I've also learned to slop at the trough.....er, collect Social Security.

Meh, you paid into it. Eat away old dog!

 

[Revoltingest]

Woof!

I became more radical with age.
I once voted for George McGovern as prez.....a Democrat!

Heck, I didn't vote for the guy, you bleeding-heart liberal!

 

[metis]

Interesting. Are you in the same "extra dinosaur" age bracket as say, @Revoltingest?

No, I'm more mature than he by several years.

BTW, I knew the Flintstones personally.

You were a Nixonette?

You were a Nixonette?

Did I just admit that? And a Fordette too. Sad, eh?

Hah!
So I've always been the more progressive one.

Interesting perspective. What do you make of Steinem's comments? Do you think she's right about young women supporting Sanders in order to get in the good graces of young men? Why or why not?

It appears that there is a broad-based consensus, perhaps shares by Steinem herself, that the remark was stupid.

I am slightly more concerned by Madeline Albright's inane warning that "There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other!" although, to be honest, it didn't seem to help Carly Fiorina a bit.

Here's a good commentary piece on the differences between older and younger feminists views of Clinton.

Well I'm already doomed to hell and I'm sure I'll see her there too after Iraq. Lol at least Fiorina had the decency to drop out. Jeb needs to take a cue from her and hang his hat.

At least we'll have good company while we're there! Maybe we should start planning the RF get-together now so we'll all finally be able to meet and talk face-to-face?

I think she is full of it...however, I am willing to peruse her research on the subject.....oh, wait...she doesn't have any....
