    As time goes on, from Gloria, to the Miss World Contest protesters of London, the courage, determination, integrity, actions and words of these women has sold the test of time, and only now are most people waking up to their insights, and too, realising that feminism is for EVERYONE! It's also surprising how many people yet still live under 20th century Stockholm Syndrome and still support their own captivity.

And women having the option to work the same as a man and coming to a balance. Its about equal responsibility. Men want women to clean up after them. Thats what I call SPECIAL TREATMENT. Because men dump everything on women, no wonder women win custody battles and get more rights. There was no equal raising.

A women described to Gloria after hearing this talk " I found it useful to nail my husband's shorts to the floor" Truly a leader. The you tube are a treasure. Befor this for me she was words on a page or out of a radio. What a life! She just helped move the realm of thought far far far from where she first encountered them.

    You know nothing about how stressed out women were when they had to have back alley abortions, when there were no laws protecting women from their husbands who felt like beating the crap out of them, when if the police even showed up, would tell the man to calm down, do nothing for the woman and say it was a domestic matter, how stressed women were when they were blamed for being raped, how stressed they were when they could not, even up until 1980, get a credit card in their own names (I know because I was one of these women), how stressed women were when there were two columns in the newspaper - women wanted, men wanted. Take a guess which ones paid a living wage and which ones didn't. I could go on and on but why waste the energy on some clueless male who would make such a ludicrous and ignorant comment?

    Out of the ground YHWH God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. His disciples say unto him, "If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry." Now for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman." Are you free from such a commitment? Do not look for a wife. Don't waste your life chasing after women! This has ruined many kings. *(Men Going Their Own Way)*

    Here are some thoughts on Gloria Steinem by leftist political activist Tom Hayden -- from his November 2014 piece in The Nation (Of course, he was dying of cancer by that point, so he figured he had nothing to lose and could finally tell the truth): "...(Traveling to California in the early 1960s) I spent an exhilarating summer staying in an apartment full of Berkeley radicals. One of the many visitors I met was Donald Hoffman, who represented the National Student Association, which included members of student government and (the University of Michigan's student newspaper, the Michigan) Daily editors that met every summer. He was a bit older than me, a friendly liberal fellow who wanted to make sure that Berkeley students came to that summer’s national convention. He also was a CIA agent, and remained so for many decades. The editor of the (Michigan) Daily before me, Peter Eckstein, was enlisted by the CIA to direct its recruiting operations, which targeted student activists in Europe who had been attracted to Soviet-sponsored youth festivals. Peter was preceded by another Daily editor, Harry Lunn, who became a lifetime CIA operative in many postings around the world. In 1962, curious about these youth festivals and eager to see the world, I interviewed as a possible participant in an American (anti-communist) delegation to the Soviet-sponsored Helsinki Youth Festival in Finland, one of several of the era. Their purpose was to confront the communist delegates with a counter-narrative about American democracy and firmly oppose any rapprochement or coexistence between capitalism and communism. Neutralism in the Cold War was considered as being “soft” on Communism. In the end, I didn’t attend. But I will never forget the smart, attractive woman who interviewed me. A graduate of Smith College, her name was Gloria Steinem. This was one year before she worked at the Playboy Club in New York City and six years before she wrote “A Bunny’s Tale” in Show magazine and (suddenly) described herself as an “active feminist” in 1969. The CIA’s Harry Lunn, according to Patriotic Betrayal, encouraged Steinem to become “the public face of the Independent Service for Information,” an anti-communist delegation controlled and funded by the CIA, on the Vienna Youth Festival; by early 1959, it had been renamed the Independent Research Service. She was “one of the few women in the NSA-CIA club,” Paget writes, noting that “Steinem, who knowingly cooperated with the CIA, is sensitive today about her work with the Agency.” Steinem recruited about one hundred Americans into a delegation to confront the 17,000 youth at the 1959 Vienna Youth Festival under the banners of Marxism and national liberation. Her bloc employed dirty tricks to disrupt the proceedings, including distributing anti-communist propaganda to fill a shortage of toilet paper and invading discussion groups to attack communist dogma. Pleased with her work in Vienna, the CIA sent Steinem to lead a similar delegation to Helsinki in 1962, where the CIA courted African students with American jazz and, according to Paget, left “memorable images of Steinem parting the beaded curtains to enter the nightclub as if she was Mata Hari.” Gloria Steinem. Well connected to the wealthy elite and ruling elite in America -- and a CIA operative since the 1950s. If only the (completely duped and deceived) women in America knew the truth, huh? At least Tom Hayden, dying of cancer in 2014, knew the truth -- and wrote about it. Tom Hayden (1939-2016). RIP.
