This is Christian Bale's step mother. Poor bastard. Now I understand why he can play such psycho characters so well.

[gokuudo]

2:18 to 2:21 That's exactly what we're saying now. Something is wrong here...

[NautyKnight]

But women hold 100% of reproductive power in this country despite men being exactly 1/2 of the reproductive process! Why should men have to live their lives based on the reproductive choices of women?! Men need a way to opt out of fatherhood just as women have a way to opt out of motherhood. No person should have to live their life based on the choices and actions of any other person! If women have 100% choice then they should have 100% financial responsibility for their choice.

[crypter27]

I'm not buying those numbers,Gloria Steinam worked for the CIA & feminism was never about equality,see how she's blinking her eyes its a telltale sighn that she's lying,now the wage gap lie.

[africanbella28]

@tmac473 are you saying that b/c women want equality we should have two black eyes? you are the typical low self-esteem alpha male who is threatened by women i love being a feminist and fuck male privilege love you gloria!

[hellobal100]

@africanbella28 lol

[startxxx1991]

Social equality? Girls get1000 times more opportunities for sex and romance - where's the equality? Sex and romance is a basic human NEED. Freedom is power and with great power comes great responsibility. Only females can heal the males - and that is by stopping the denial of their basic needs. Have some love for this life bitches!

[startxxx1991]

Feminism separated women from men and married them to the government

[ThePerfArts]

@startxxx1991 But the government are run by men!!

[johnman1911]

Does she really work for the cia?

[TMac473]

10:13 by this logic shouldn't every other woman in america have two black eyes?

[ukendcx2000]

A lot more intelligent and articulate than the media ever gave her credit for.

[fidelbogen]

@ukendcx2000 Yes, and evidently the CIA thought she was "intelligent" enough to be in the "intelligence" game, as well! ;-)

[kassandramd]

She is extremely intelligent, much more so than push-over sarah palin, and she speaks without anger and with lots of common sense. Anyone who hates her must be anti woman. Sorry boys, were not going to worship you anymore. Tough luck:):)

[NautyKnight]

@kassandramd - We're not going to worship women anymore either! Open your own doors and pay for your own meals! Want a diamond? Get it yourself!

[13CIRCLE]

Gloria Steinem was and is CIA. How can she live with herself, ruining so many lives.

[mariosumo]

immigrant group???

[seventy18]

'Misandry' Type this into the youtube server and you will all know the truth about women

[fargonbastedge]

Women have been giving to many rights lately.

[fargonbastedge]

Maybe those women lose their jobs because of actual real reasons.

[monster8090]

We need more humanitarians and less feminists.

Maybe if feminists would stop demanding more laws and programs exclusively for women they could get more suport for the programs that help PEOPLE.

Rather than spending money on Womens shelters why not spend it on Homeless shelters?

Instead of Womens rights why not spend the time protesting for Human rights?

Equality can not exists if gender is the basis of the program.

[christo930]

It is impossible for there to be a pay gap. Only a moron would hire a man, when he can hire a woman for x cents on the dollar, that would naturally create a disparity between supply and demand, and some clever businessperson would say, I can hire the woman for x+5 cents on the dollar and still be ahead and so on, until salaries are equal. Women make unfair comparisons, usually based on the amount of skill to do a job, but naturally there are other mitigating factors like excessively hard labor.

[rikuown]

Thank god she didn't just blame men for lower salaries for women.

She isn't as crazy as some feminists can be.

[embracingreality]

Men, dig in the earth and build sanitary sewer systems, underground electrical and roads for millions of miles. The foundations and structures of the entire world, bridges, buildings, homes. The vast majority of designs and engineering projects are done by men. Virtually all of the dirty, hazardous work is done by men and workplace fatalities are overwhelmingly men as a result. Men and women reap the benefit but men produce it.

Men manipulate the entire world, women can only manipulate men.

[MyOttoLink]

@embracingreality "Men manipulate the entire world, women can only manipulate men.

" Would seem, to me, tha twomen manipulate the entire world BY manipulating men. THAT'S what I'm SICK of, personally!!!

[fargonbastedge]

@MyOttoLink When you hear women talk about the world. You can tell they would make perfect little fascist. All-authoritative and how dare you question them, believing in something you cant prove logically, power-hungry, snooty, etc

[Monad01]

@MyOttoLink You brought his argument to its logical conclusion and this is where women get away with blaming men for everything. They can coyly deny and put up a veneer of innocence due to the fact that their manipulation is covert. "What are little boys made of? Frogs and snails And puppy-dogs' tails, That's what little boys are made of. What are little girls made of? What are little girls made of? Sugar and spice And everything nice, That's what little girls are made of" BULLSHIT! LOL

[seventy18]

Americans would rather have a black man in office than a White woman... as a white man, I am inclined to agree

[BustaNut0nY0u]

Thumbs up if you think we should END WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE!!

[micers]

@karlsmith00 Personally I could give a rats ass how many people died because of gunshot wounds or lack of health care. I wonder how many abused children poisoned their abuser, ditto abused wives. I also wonder when idiots who make assertions about when life becomes human will open their minds beyond the idea that there is more to life than an egg and a sperm... I won't be holding my breath, rather I will be doing whatever I can to either get rid of idiots like you, or educate you

[historypoliticsbb]

Gloria Steinem was funded from her teens by the CIA to promote 'women's liberation'. Search it on Google. It proves that Feminism was bullsh*t designed to destroy the family and Christian civilization.

[blackbolt75]

@historypoliticsbb I believe, she is jewish.

[jerome3151]

From what I have researched that makes sense of my world and my life experience....Feminism is subversive and it's aim is to destroy traditional families and weaken a society by turning it's values upside down. Angry and violent women (the enforcers) are the rank and file and people like Gloria are the pretty face to peddle it. She is an Obama...handpicked by corporate/banking interests to make shit look like lavender.

[PeggyDrachman]

Gloria....I like you. Thank you.



[hondacivic1992]

This is all because women are not street smart and therefore less capable of running a business, therefore they have a larger failure rate when they start their own business. I don't want to hear any shit about Oprah Winfrey or some other chick who made it - because even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[19independentminded6]

@karlsmith00 i wonder how many actual, living breathing adults died because of lack of health care or gun shot wounds. Answer = ZERO living breathing adults died because of lack of health care or gun shot wounds.

And if it's a woman's choice whether or not to give birth, and she makes the decision, AND my Decision means nothing, then she can do so WITHOUT my money.

[pkpapers]

Shocking facts about how the US treated Domestic Violence before the reforms of the 1970s. -- GOOGLE: "Society's Acceptance of Domestic Violence?" -- You won't believe your eyes.

[rooleybbq]

Gloria Steinem: the epitome of what's wrong with feminism.

[prolefeedprocessor]

@rooleybbq I'm curious for you to elaborate on what you mean by that.

[iankyoko]

It appears she was hired by the CIA. The CIA and the Rockerfellers supported and financed the feminist movement. Why? To break up the family and tax the other half of the population. True! Look into it.

Not that the feminist didn't have a cause to protest. They certainly did. But we went from one fucked up mold to another fucked up mold. Society as a whole is far too simplistic. Let's make money!! That's the motto.

Men should be protesting too.

[ToxaKoldyn]

THIS IS BULLSHIT LADIES AND GENTS!

[koelchak1]

Thank you for sharing. this is amazing.

[vention4wh]

2. Hope this gets approved!

For pretty much the entire history of the human race, men had to take terrible risks (hunting mammoths and fighting off predators) to keep women safe and fed. But now for the first time in history men no longer have to do that. The social stigma of not being married or supporting some woman is pretty much gone now, and instead of looking at me with contempt, these days my married coworkers look at me with envy. Especially on payday.

[Stardusk]

@vention4wh The social stigma is gone? The expectation that men do that is still there, very much so.

[vention4wh]

Cool thing about Feminism is that a man is no longer obligated to marry. I don't have to support some gold digging woman and risk losing my home, assets, kids and retirement. I can live my own life and do exactly what I want.

Now all my debts are paid off (including the mortgage). I tend to spend only about 30% of my take home pay (unless I want something big like the expensive laptop I bought last month). That usually leaves around 2400 a month totally extra. It's not a bad way to live.

[tadawoosh]

@vention4wh

So? Do you want a badge?

[MolecularMoonlight]

@vention4wh I feel the same about not having to go home to slave over the stove for some guy and painfully bear children. No one oppresses me. No one holds me back. My ideal of beauty and femininity is defined by me - not the male perspective. I don't need a "golden shackle" to define me as a womyn. I don't share your love for money, but I do appreciate not been owned by a last name. We Feminists have only just begun... and we are in the billions now. We SHALL overcome! Peace.

[johnman1911]

@vention4wh Amen!

[Markle6]

@vention4wh GOD = Mother Nature (Ive done the math they are equal, so they are the same) - ARVUT

[FilAmFan]

@vention4wh Search YT for 'Tom Leykis'.

[ThePerfArts]

@vention4wh Sure do what you want as long as you don't hurt anyone while your'e doing it.

[hcnuup]

THIS person is one of the leading figures of the feminist movement? Oh jesus christ.

[tonysam1955]

@hcnuup --Where in the hell have YOU been? Obviously you are too young to even remember Steinem.

[QueerSwede1]

Gloria is the best!

[hondacivic1992]

5:34 - why is that? because women usually marry some guy in the executive level, have kids, and quit their job, before they can even work enough time to be qualified for the executive level.

[MotherNatureisBiased]

I wonder how many innocent babies were murdered by their mothers while this video clip played.

[jpellarin99]

make your own bed

GO GLORIA!!

[vechorik]

Her idea of feminism meant a woman had to be pro-abortion, anti-family and anti-man -- anti-anything moral! I always believed that feminism was about what a woman wanted to do. That meant a woman had the right to make a choice. Palin and Bachmann are true feminists. They are pro-life, pro-family and they made it in a man’s world without invoking the victim status! Steinem is more about politics than about feminist! As far as eco-feminism? Learn about United Nations Agenda 21.

[MycoalClawsin]

@vechorik You call it a man's world and then degrade women who point this out.

Sarah Palin was a gimmick who cared more about money than governorship/women.

Notice, not a single woman in the senate is a minority.

[GalacticEgg]

@MycoalClawsin notice that there aren't that many women who are minorities in this country. If they are not representatives, then they have not earned that, just like every other group. Why pick and choose reps based on color and sex? That's rather backwards, wouldn't you say?

[ThePerfArts]

@GalacticEgg Where do you live? Do you live in a white neighbourhood? Travelled down to minority neighbourhoods lately? why should USA be ruled by white privelged males, which is and extreme unbalanced way to live?

[nimechan]

@vechorik By your standards, then, Gloria Steinem is a true feminist because she made the choice to be pro-choice - and by pro-choice, she means women should have the right to CHOOSE abortion OR NOT, rather than pro-life people, who say you can't do it at all. And look what you pointed out: this is a MAN's world; that means we still haven't reached equality. She isn't anti-family, she's anti-patriarchy. Finally, politics is a road to reform, of course active feminism is politics. 

[mdna72]

@jpellarin99 you mean miss cia herself

[jobelaque]

@allibyx perhaps the house was caught afire because of poor organization skills, such as not making beds.

[AthenasConquest]

Looks as if Feminism has failed Gloria.There is still time to cook clean be a good wife and Mother!

[umgajokualker]

screw the feminists!!!!!!!!!

[freshasflowers]

We love you Gloria! <3

[goog2k]

Gloria Steinem is a American Dame and a great American HERO!

BRAVO!

You go girl.

[saranewton429]

I wish more than 115 viewers had seen this. I love how she is able to put concepts into context by providing historical and social patterns.
