Truest statement of the week II

Some ardent feminists are such fishes in water that they can't really tell they're in the tank. Gloria Steinem was on post-election Oprah, and the gist was: Palin had no content, wasn't fit to be VP or President, and it's McCain’s fault for choosing her. Gloria said that the more people found out about Palin, the more they went away from her. (These days, I'm feeling that way about Gloria.) She pontificated that women's issues are about substance not form, it’s what you're for that matters, not just being a woman. It's not that she's wrong, I just don't like the holier than thou attitude. Hmmm, more tread marks from another feminist who's absolutely confident within herself, and elated that Obama's in.
