Gloria Steinem worked for the CIA and dated Henry Kissinger.
when i talk about White Woman, Capitalist, Imperialist Feminism, am talking about La Steinem.
Steinem succeeded in making #feminism only about #abortion and not about the obvious endgame to smashing #inequality: #socialism.
that’s why Steinem was never the champion of #UBI or #Medicare4All. that’s why she was nowhere defending “welfare queens” from corporatists’ witch hunts.
may she rot in nevermore like Kissinger.

I learned something new today.

Steinem did not work for the CIA, she directed the Independent Research Service which recruited American students to send to international youth festivals. They received funding from the CIA. Still not good, but it's more nuanced than some would make it seem.

Yeah, i found Redstockings original call-out first: archive.org/details/redstockings-on-gloria-steinem-and-the-cia_202404/page/n14/mode/1up
And then all these interviews of her saying the CIA was "honorable" at that time which no it most certainly was not.
She was also transphobic in 70s thru 90s, but seems to have retracted that in late 2000s?
But she hasn't done much beyond lip service for trans people either, and she waffled a lot on inclusion of trans people in sports, so I've never known what to think of her.

in reply to your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦 • • •you know, any time i've pointed out that steinem was a CIA asset, i've been called 'misogynist.'
she was one of the founding pillars of the anti-woman 'power feminism,' wherein women take the places of men in the patriarchal power structure.
to her, feminism is when women pilot the aircraft that bomb unarmed men, women, and children abroad.
sadly, that vision of feminism is the dominant one in the USA.
