Gloria Steinem: Young women support Sanders to attract men

[Suzanimal]

Feminist activist Gloria Steinem on Friday suggested that young women support Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders over rival Hillary Clinton because they want to meet boys.

On HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Maher asked Steinem why Clinton, who has campaigned on the historic nature of her candidacy, was losing the young female vote.

“I don’t mean to over-generalize … 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,” Steinem responded.

“So it’s kind of not fair to measure most women by the standard of most men, because they’re going to get more activist as they get older,” she added.

“And when you’re young, you’re thinking, ‘Where are the boys?’ The boys are with Bernie.”

Maher joked that if he had chalked up Bernie’s support among young women to their desire to meet boys, Steinem would have slapped him.

“No I wouldn’t, no I wouldn’t … because the boys are … How well do you know me?” Steinem responded, laughing off the remark.

Sanders won 84 percent of voters ages 18 to 29 in the Feb. 1 Iowa caucuses, with Clinton getting 14 percent among the group.

Steinem previously endorsed Clinton for president in 2008.

“A Special Place In Hell For Women Who Don’t Help Each Other,” Albright Tells Clinton Rally

Hillary Clinton was joined by New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright at a rally in Concord, New Hampshire, on Saturday.

After a pitch aimed at encouraging young women to support Clinton become the first female president, Albright told the crowd, “Just remember: there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other.”

Says the woman that said half a million Iraqi children dead because of US sanctions was "acceptable".

Fuck these people and all who associate with them.

“I don’t mean to over-generalize … 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,” Steinem responded.

The opposite is true. Middle-aged men become frustrated when they realize just how little power they actually have.

Feminists are allowed to degrade women, because they are feminists.

Dumb ass doesn't even know where the boys are. Apparently, she's never been to a libertarian event.

Feminists are usually old, ugly and/or fat.

They are jealous of young girls that are successful and can fit into small jeans.

Obama is of course encouraging this bullshit. Encourage anything that drives wedges inbetween people

Speak for yourself, lady.
Knowledge is the true power.
And gender is of no consequence.
Of course, it's hard for sleeping minds to even grasp that concept.

Guess I don't have to say, "You can say that again."

I agree. As I've *ahem* "matured", I feel much more powerful.
