INCREDIBLE; but very telling

from The Gray Area:

Gloria Steinem and Madeleine Albright made appearances this weekend in support of Hillary Clinton for President. Based on their comments, feminists believe it is critically important to have a woman President. Any woman?

Gloria Steinem’s remark to Bill Maher about young woman today: “When you’re young, you’re thinking, ‘Where are the boys?’ The boys are with Bernie.” INCREDIBLE! To Bill Mahr’s credit he pushed back on Steinem saying, “Oh. Now if I said that, … you’d swat me.

Ms. Albright said “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other!It seems only feminists can insult women voters as airheads or heretics, interested solely in the social aspect of political campaigns, and face no media backlash.

But, besides being shocking, these exchanges are very telling.

If you want to see the how phony ‘political correctness’ is, you see it clearly in these statements.

Are feminists truly interested in women, any women? No, they did not support Sarah Palin for the first woman Vice President. Could argue that is because they want a quality woman, of which Palin is not in their opinion. But, a closer look when compared to support for Hillary Clinton, a woman who lied to the American people, lives with a womanizing husband, and is under investigation by the FBI, reveals that their support is only for woman of the same political ideology.

Any woman against a man? No, Palin still an example here, and you could throw in Condoleeza Rica or even Carly Fiorina. It is clearly political ideology.

So woman’s rights, the battle continues, whether you talk about woman in the workplace, equal pay, abortion, etc., it is all ideology, not the furtherance of women’s lives. Its a good thing Branche Rickey didn’t follow that path when he introduced black players into baseball via Jackie Robinson.

Or, is the movement just ‘gender privilege‘?

Or, perish the thought, is it that some “young women … did not care that Hillary Clinton could be the first woman president”.
