Gloria Steinem interview

Interview0 Comments

Winfrey interviews Gloria Steinem and questions her years as a feminist,activist and the world today.

 I think it is relevant. It certainly is strange that attributing a woman with certain male characteristics is complementary, while attributing a man with female characteristics is not. However, I think there is a little skewing going on in the perception of this phenomenon. A woman being called a tom-boy can also be derided as butch. Being declared manly is more often an insult to a woman than a compliment.
