Gloria Steinem throws herself into the dustbin of history

I knew eventually the insufferable old hag would shoot herself in the foot and with this, she's succeeded. She'll never live it down (like she hasn't the many other stupid things she's said) but this one limes the coconut with her own ideological great-grand-daughters. Hope they etch it on her gravestone as her epitaph, right next to the other ridiculous things she's blathered, so posterity can march past it, take a gander, and ask "Who was this nutcase and why did anyone ever put up with her in the first place?". Excerpt:

'Feminist icon Gloria Steinem has drawn the wrath of the Twitterverse for suggesting that young women supporting Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign are doing so to gain the attention of men.

“When you’re young, you’re thinking, ‘Where are the boys? The boys are with Bernie,'” Steinem told Bill Maher Friday night on the comic’s HBO show “Real Time.”

Maher leapt right on her comment. “Now if I said that, ‘Yeah, they’re for Bernie because that’s where the boys are,’ you’d slap me,” he said.
...
“Women are more for [Clinton] than men are,” Steinem said. But when asked why millennials seem to support Sanders more, Steinem explained, “Women get more radical as we get older…. I don’t mean to overgeneralize, I’m sure that you got more radical, but men tend to get more conservative because they gain power as they age and women get more radical because they lose power as they age.”
...
Plenty of people online seemed willing to slap Steinem for implying that millennial women are fickle (or hormonal) for choosing to support Sanders instead of Clinton.'
