For the first time ever, I feel sorry for Gloria Steinem. The print edition of today’s Raleigh News & Observer carries a story about the feminist diva. Now almost 70 years old, she was recently widowed after marrying at age 66, finally rejecting her tired mantra that marriage is an institution of oppression. But we should pity Steinem for her outdated view of a woman’s role in today’s society, as she related it to a recent Planned Parenthood luncheon audience. “If we come together today and there’s no trouble tomorrow, we haven’t done our job,” Steinem reportedly told the group of mostly 50+ women. It seems the 60s feminists are unable to accept that their movement is obsolete and largely irrelevant to the lives of most women today. Too bad they can’t enjoy the equality, freedom, and immense opportunities women are now free to pursue. They seem to have forgotten that these are the things they were demanding in the first place.
