‘Cranky Feminist’: Yes, Glenn Beck Makes it Into the New Gloria Steinem Documentary

NEW YORK (AP) — “It’s shocking, I know,” says Gloria Steinem, allowing herself a wry grin.
AP
And for once, the author, activist and feminist icon isn’t talking about a case of gender inequity at home or a human rights violation across the globe. This time, she’s talking about her age.
Steinem is 77, and most people are even more shocked than she is. Not only because she looks fiftyish, but because she is, in the minds of many, frozen in the 1970s — a tall, slim, striking woman with long streaked hair (it’s still streaked, but shorter now) and those big aviator glasses.
But four decades have indeed passed since Steinem helped launched the women’s movement. And this summer finds her in a reflective mode: working on a book about her years on the road — a combination of essays and memoir — and promoting a new documentary celebrating her life. “Gloria: In Her Own Words” premieres Monday on HBO.
Nestled on a couch in her comfortable Manhattan apartment one recent afternoon, Steinem acknowledges that often such tributes come at the end of one’s life and career — and she has no intention of either ending anytime soon.
But, she says, maybe this isn’t such a bad time to look back a little.
“My hope is, this film will make people think: It’s been 30 or 40 years. Where do we want to be 40 years from now?” Besides, she adds: “I want people to realize that if a very imperfect person did this, maybe they can, too!”
That self-effacing tone runs through much of what Steinem says — she likes to stress, for example, that if she had never come along, the same progress for women would have been achieved anyway. (Steinem was a highly visible spokeswoman for the women’s movement, but there were many others who made it happen, too.) Her admirers say they’re not so sure.
“It would have been like Christmas without Santa Claus — she was the goddess of the movement,” says Sheila Nevins, co-producer of the new documentary with Peter Kunhardt, who directed. “She doesn’t take credit, but I give it to her.”
One of Steinem’s most important qualities, says Nevins, is that she showed “how you could be the bull AND the china shop — aggressive AND gentle.” She notes that growing up, she was taught to think a girl couldn’t be pretty and smart at the same time: “Gloria made me realize I could.”
Steinem, though, makes clear that being branded the beautiful, sexy feminist was a double-edged sword at best.
“It’s a problem we all share, getting identified by your outside looks,” she says. “The most hurtful part is that you work very hard, and people say it’s because of your looks.”
Steinem learned that lesson well before she became an activist — with her famous Playboy adventure in the early ’60s, where she donned the bunny suit to go undercover for a magazine and expose degrading working conditions at the Playboy Club.
She deeply regrets the whole episode. “I could not have made a bigger mistake,” she says. “It was personally and professionally a disaster. In the short term it was much harder to get serious assignments, and in the long term it’s been used to ridicule me.”
Steinem can’t escape the Playboy story: Recently she’s been asked by many journalists what she thinks of an upcoming NBC period drama about the Playboy Club. For the record: not much, though she hasn’t seen it yet. “They were tacky, awful places to work,” she says of the clubs. “This will no doubt be a glamorized version.”
Steinem also wonders why a TV interviewer recently used precious air time to ask about that long-ago episode. She would rather have been asked about a New York Times op-ed piece she had just written, about a controversial new naval base on Jeju Island off South Korea.
Such an issue may seem off the beaten path for Steinem, but she’s long been vocal about a wide range of international issues, like sex trafficking, genital mutilation, or violence against women across the globe. “I’m just not sure I believe in boundaries anymore,” she says.
At home, it won’t be surprising to see her weigh in on the 2012 presidential race, as she did in 2008 — opposing Sarah Palin (”Wrong Woman, Wrong Message,” she titled a column) and decrying what she saw as sexist media treatment of Hillary Rodham Clinton, whom she supported over Barack Obama in the Democratic primaries.
Steinem hopes the current secretary of state might yet become president. “Many more Americans can now imagine a female chief of state, because of her,” she says. “After a second Obama term …”
For the documentary, producers amassed a treasure trove of film clips, photos and other tidbits that tell the story of Steinem’s long career.
We see a young Steinem tap-dancing in an elevator — it was one of her talents — and flirting with George Burns in a TV interview. We also see some striking negative reactions to Steinem and her feminism: A vicious call from a female viewer on “Larry King Live,“ telling her to ”rot in hell” and advising her never to have children; or, more recently, conservative host Glenn Beck call her a “cranky feminist” and making a vomit gesture.
There’s also news anchor Harry Reasoner predicting that Ms. Magazine, which Steinem co-founded in 1972, would fail (it’s still publishing today) and, perhaps most interesting, a segment from the Nixon tapes, with the former president dissing Steinem to Henry Kissinger.
Asked her biggest mistakes, Steinem replies with a laugh: “How much time do we have?” Turning serious, she mentions her father. She did not travel to California to see him in the hospital after a car accident, and he died alone.
“I had taken care of my mom as a child, and I feared I’d never come back,” she says.
Steinem also wishes she’d “fought harder” for things she believed in. One of the choices she doesn’t regret, however, is not having had children.
“I was in Mumbai at a women’s center a few years ago, and they asked whether I regretted that,” says Steinem. “I thought, if I tell them the truth, I’ll lose them. But there was no point in lying, and so I said, ‘No, not for a millisecond’ — and they applauded. Because they don’t have the choice.”
As for marriage, Steinem surprised many when she married for the first time at age 66, to entrepreneur David Bale, father of actor Christian Bale. Bale died a few years later.
“I hadn’t changed — marriage had changed,” she says now. “We wanted to be together, we loved each other. And he needed a green card. But it was so lucky, because when he got sick, he was on my health insurance.” The experience strengthened her commitment to same-sex marriage.
Her greatest satisfaction, Steinem says, is still when people come up to her — in the subway, on a plane — and tell her stories about their lives.
Like the man at the ticket counter at the Washington airport a week ago, who wanted to talk to her about his mother, and all her accomplishments. “It happens all the time,” she says.
Though an agitator by profession, Steinem speaks today of a new kind of contentment.
She was in a taxi recently, she says, and her iPhone was out of juice, meaning she had time to look out the window.
“I was looking out, and I had an amazing feeling of serenity, of well-being,” she says. “A sense that I don’t want a house in the country, or anything I don’t have. I was feeling a unity, a oneness.”
What was that all about, her interviewer wonders?
“It must be my age.”

As we now know thanks to Glenn and David Barton, that women fought in the Revolutionary War, Voted and own property before that.
If only she had picked up those books, she would have call for a reclamation of their rights’ which Progressives had striped. So the Liberals have painted her a feminist hero when in fact she helped cover up her predecessors actions.
She’s just another victim of a Liberal education…!

Posted on August 15, 2011 at 2:26amGloria didn‘t start the women’s movement. It was started by many brave women years before. The number of master’s degrees and doctoral degrees that went to women was never as great during any year of the 1950s or 1960 as the percentage was back in 1930 (Thomas Sowell). They were more highly educated and professionally represented, and there were twice as many women listed in “Who’s Who in America” in 1902 than in the 1960′s (Thomas Sowell).
The only thing Steiman and her ilk brought to women was a distorted idea about sexual freedom and promiscuity, abortion and euthanasia, and the division and breakdown of the family.

Although this article gives the impression that “Ms” Steinam has led a worthwhile life, it misses the point that she is just another member of the Socialist Culture of Death Elite who call themselves “Progressives” but actually promote policies that have historically resulted in the destruction of societies where they have been implemented, including Ancient Greece and Rome and, in the 20th Century, the Soviet Union, National Socialist (NAZI) Germany, Fascist ( National Socialist) Italy for examples. In the end, no one will remember who she was, what she did, or what she wrote or said.

Isn’t it the same with all the “civil rights” movement? It’s established fact that prosperity among blacks in the US was already improving, and had been for decades. In fact, prosperity flattened out immediately after the Civil Rights Act for a few years. If anything, the stupid movement slowed things down.

As for the “woman’s movement”, it started out being a good cause (fair pay for equal work etc) but was sabotaged early on by her & women like her. They couldn’t just fight for fair equal rights, no they had to brainwash women, hammering it over & over & over into their heads that something was wrong with them if they chose to stay home & raise their children. Women who didn’t buy into her propaganda were ridiculed and taunted by her and her organization. She was just as guilty of discrimination as any employer or man because she blatantly treated women who chose not to jump on her bandwagon as somehow “less”.
She masterminded the destruction of the American family. And the detrimental effects of that destruction have continued for decades, with each generation becoming worse than the previous.

She’s long gone but I remember to this day.
Yes, there are not-so-attractive women. They usually give up trying and let themselves go to seed – fat. Their choice.
I supposed a certain number of women were created to be attractive to insure survival of the species. I like to pound my lesbian sister on the head with that when the occasion presents itself. She was pretty but now she’s just fat, old, getting older and bitter. No hope and no partner. No one wants to be around her. She thought Steinham walked on water, women were going to take over the world, all men are jerks, etc.
Guess who is getting the last laugh about something that could have been handled better by women and their handlers. They wanted to level the playing field so they did not have to compete as hard as men do. Ridiculous.

That‘s an interesting comment coming from a leftist whako who is so entrenched in stupidity and flights of fantasy she couldn’t draw logical, reasoned conclusions if her life depended on it.
To a person these leftists can‘t seem to see their own failings and they think people are stupid if they don’t draw the same erroneous conclusions to issues as they do.
Liberalism is certainly a mental disorder, but, more than that, it keeps people blinded to their own stupidity for their entire lives.

I believe ANYONE who does a job should be equally paid, no matter the sex, race, religion, disability or whatever. I really don’t appreciate your remarks about women going to “seed” “fat”. That just shows there still are people who use how someone looks as a barometer of their intelligence, etc. “People” are made up of every body type. Please keep nasty remarks to yourself.

You don’t have to agree with her lesbianism but she deserves the respect of being a human being, just like the rest of us. Myself, I choose to stay at home when my children were born until they were all in school and I could work while they attended school. We were broke but I wanted our kids raised with OUR morals.

I worked for the phone company and the women made exactly the same wage as the men. It didn’t matter if they worked in the customer-service center or as an outside tech, they made the same. Of course, some of them could not climb a telephone pole, or do other things which required superior male strength. Even so, they got paid the same.
After all that, they would get promoted over more qualified men who had longer service with the company. That was a result of quotas imposed as a result of the work of people like Gloria Steinem.

Miss Steinem is an ugly person, inside and out and she certainly should not be celebrated, praised or given a soapbox from which to spew her venom. Miss Steinem decided long ago that American values did not fit her bizarre mindset – she is and always has been a repulsive pariah, and although she is now elderly and nearing the end of her anger-filled life, it appears that she has gained little wisdom or appreciation for America. The decades have not been kind to Miss Steinem.

Posted on August 14, 2011 at 6:57pmAll she did was force more men out of work and to be called deadbeats when they can‘t find work but when women don’t work I’ts still called a choice. Hows that for gender equity while our kids get pushed of to who ever they need to get pushed off to. Women will never understand that pride is what make men want to even function but yet they try to strip them from in everyday…

Posted on August 14, 2011 at 6:33pmThese progressives of the baby-boom generation (which I am a part of, but at the younger end) have been a drag on our society since the 60′s. I am so embarrassed by part of my generation behaving like this lady. The good ones in our generation went off to war, and then came home to work hard at raising their families and making a life.

Posted on August 14, 2011 at 7:07pmI’m a baby boomer as well and thought this woman was absolutely nuts back them. In retrospect, however, she was right. Before the women’s movement, women had no identity of their own … all their value and worth was connected to whomever they married. Women were not allowed to get their own credit cards, car, house, or any other major purchase without a signature of a man. Women were only ‘qualified’ to be a teacher, nurse, or secretary, which were all low paying jobs. Today, women still struggle to get past the glass ceiling, but they have far more independence and opportunities than they had 40 years ago.

Posted on August 14, 2011 at 6:27pmmen are pretty? I thought I was more handsome…. It’s funny, how she wants to say pretty, instead of cranking up that old brain, and to differentiate between biological sexes. I don’t think she is a feminist, more-so; she is just lazy, and so she calls others lazy, for differentiating. She has created her own safety zone, where she can’t be wrong; and she has ridden that ride for too long, in my opinion. Obviously, she’s scratching for more press and more men to support her cause. hypocrite?
