Thread Name: BS: Steinem on Nader - not what you think!
Subject: RE: BS: Steinem on Nader - not what you think!
Aww, folks, nothing to dislike me over. I AGREE with you about Steinem's great contributions to society. She's a person I admire(d). This is why I'm so disappointed in her for becoming so... average. Instead of being a strident voice for progress, she's become just another has-been wallowing in mediocrity. I've heard her speak on radio programs recently, and she can't even keep up with current issues raised by contemporary 'feminists.' She talks like some lame parent trying to talk 'cool' with their kids. ("Hey, Mikey, this music is really the bomb! Give me five, my man!") She's a wonderful historical figure, but her page has been turned.

Maybe 'slave' would fit better than 'prostitute,' as I don't like to think she's actually accepting money for her services. But it's still sad, at least to me. I just think she should step aside and shut up, while she's still someone who can be admired. Bleh. I shoulda just kept my mouth (fingers?) shut...
