Shame on Gloria Steinem for making such a grossly sexist remark to Bill Maher, asserting that young women are only supporting Bernie Sanders because they want to "meet boys" and boys support Bernie.
Really? I would expect Trump to say something stupid and crass like this, but not the feminist icon who has allegedly been fighting for equal rights for the last five decades. Nothing sells feminism like a feminist elder telling the youngsters that they are all stupid bubbleheads who can't think for themselves.
I think we all understand how momentous it would be for a woman to become president. But that doesn't mean we should vote for a woman whose politics turn us off. And this attitude that some women (the Steinems, Clintons, and Albrights of the world) know what's best for all women is truly offensive and comes off as typical elitist bullshit that creates nothing but backlash against the entire feminist movement.
