It’s a shame that the women’s liberation movement was, for 50 years, personified by Gloria Steinem — someone who never really shared that movement’s emancipatory goals.

Gloria Steinem Was the Godmother of Neoliberal Feminism
Gloria Steinem died this week at age 92. The establishment’s favorite “radical” feminist, Steinem worked with the CIA to promote reactionary propaganda and helped direct the women’s liberation movement into a corporate-friendly, anti-socialist direction.

Since I suspect I am being sub-skeeted here, let me clarify my actual position: I think the US could defeat the IRGC and the Iranian army on the ground but only at ruinous cost. 'Different' does not mean 'better.' The correct decision on how to wage an Iran War was *always* DO NOT WAGE AN IRAN WAR.
