Question...

**KellyMac** · 25th-June-2008

Is Gloria Steinem considered radical, or more mainstream? Is she a feminist hero, or do they disown her? If she is considered radical, who is someone more mainstream?

I do have a reason for asking, I promise.

I believe she's considered radical, at least by normal folks. As far as I know, 'feminists' consider her to be sound as a pound.

I would say Steinem is a moderate feminist in feminist circles. I agree with Marx, she is probably radical to normal folks.

She co-founded Ms. magazine and does a lot of her work in a very moderate way. She is very active at Smith College, it's west coast equivalent is Mills College, where I spent quite a bit of time in the day. I never married that gyrl, to say the least.

Just my personal opinion:

As far as I can see, Gloria Steinem was always looking for benefits for women, sometimes for children, but never made anything concerning equality, never was considering anything related to 'men or men's problems'.

A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.

I would call her therefore a 'radical feminist'.

Her basic thinking is not liberal.

However her way to talk is somewhat more moderate, somewhat more into US-politics, not openly hateful, not like, for example, Germaine Greer.

Well within the target zone for a burst of FMJs.

the feminits have fitted us with a yoke

and all they have done is chatter and legislate the claptrap into statutes while men watched on

men must repeal this nonsense cause feminits have basically turned men into functional eunuchs in their hareem

Interesting you should use the words "functional eunuchs".....I was just wondering how many men have developed "dysfunction" (related to that area of the anatomy) due to society's (and women's) de-masculinization of men? And the overwhelming pressure that is put squarely on men alone to "perform perfectly"?

Yeah well you missed something really special...about a half hour ago I had a crotch shot of a guy with a very large package in a pair of tight jeans with a sticker across his cock that said "extra large."

Yeah the eunuch is one symbol for modern males, I had a picture of one in my cubicle for a while

In the office world a lower-status male like me only gets to drool over the prince's harem girls - not that I'd want to live with a selfish bimbo, I couldn't afford it anyway

Unfortunately, I go to a community college, where even the fat girls have boyfriends.

Actually, that's not entirely true. Most of them have husbands.
