Here are some thoughts on Gloria Steinem by leftist political activist Tom Hayden -- from his November 2014 piece in The Nation (Of course, he was dying of cancer by that point, so he figured he had nothing to lose and could finally tell the truth): "...(Traveling to California in the early 1960s) I spent an exhilarating summer staying in an apartment full of Berkeley radicals. One of the many visitors I met was Donald Hoffman, who represented the National Student Association, which included members of student government and (the University of Michigan's student newspaper, the Michigan) Daily editors that met every summer. He was a bit older than me, a friendly liberal fellow who wanted to make sure that Berkeley students came to that summer’s national convention. He also was a CIA agent, and remained so for many decades. The editor of the (Michigan) Daily before me, Peter Eckstein, was enlisted by the CIA to direct its recruiting operations, which targeted student activists in Europe who had been attracted to Soviet-sponsored youth festivals. Peter was preceded by another Daily editor, Harry Lunn, who became a lifetime CIA operative in many postings around the world. In 1962, curious about these youth festivals and eager to see the world, I interviewed as a possible participant in an American (anti-communist) delegation to the Soviet-sponsored Helsinki Youth Festival in Finland, one of several of the era. Their purpose was to confront the communist delegates with a counter-narrative about American democracy and firmly oppose any rapprochement or coexistence between capitalism and communism. Neutralism in the Cold War was considered as being “soft” on Communism. In the end, I didn’t attend. But I will never forget the smart, attractive woman who interviewed me. A graduate of Smith College, her name was Gloria Steinem. This was one year before she worked at the Playboy Club in New York City and six years before she wrote “A Bunny’s Tale” in Show magazine and (suddenly) described herself as an “active feminist” in 1969. The CIA’s Harry Lunn, according to Patriotic Betrayal, encouraged Steinem to become “the public face of the Independent Service for Information,” an anti-communist delegation controlled and funded by the CIA, on the Vienna Youth Festival; by early 1959, it had been renamed the Independent Research Service. She was “one of the few women in the NSA-CIA club,” Paget writes, noting that “Steinem, who knowingly cooperated with the CIA, is sensitive today about her work with the Agency.” Steinem recruited about one hundred Americans into a delegation to confront the 17,000 youth at the 1959 Vienna Youth Festival under the banners of Marxism and national liberation. Her bloc employed dirty tricks to disrupt the proceedings, including distributing anti-communist propaganda to fill a shortage of toilet paper and invading discussion groups to attack communist dogma. Pleased with her work in Vienna, the CIA sent Steinem to lead a similar delegation to Helsinki in 1962, where the CIA courted African students with American jazz and, according to Paget, left “memorable images of Steinem parting the beaded curtains to enter the nightclub as if she was Mata Hari.” Gloria Steinem. Well connected to the wealthy elite and ruling elite in America -- and a CIA operative since the 1950s. If only the (completely duped and deceived) women in America knew the truth, huh? At least Tom Hayden, dying of cancer in 2014, knew the truth -- and wrote about it. Tom Hayden (1939-2016). RIP.

The only thing I am against the ERA is because of the abortion part. I am feminist but pro-life, so I am totally against abortion but I respect that beliefs of the pro-choice feminists.

I have to differ with you. Feel bad that they may need an abortion. I still don't think they should have that.

Other than that I don't have anything against the ERA.
