7 Other Backwards Things Feminist Icons Have Said About Women Who Don’t Support Hillary

Last week had #woke American feminists asking, ‘Where are we, in Backwards-ville?” when noted feminist icons Madeleine Albright and Gloria Steinem both made statements shaming women who support Bernie Sanders rather than Hillary Clinton. First, when introducing Clinton at a rally in New Hampshire, Albright quoted herself, saying, ‘We can tell our story of how we climbed the ladder, and a lot of you younger women think it ‘s done. It ‘s not done. There ‘s a special place in hell for women who don ‘t help each other!” and then later, in an interview with Bill Maher, Steinem said ‘and has since apologized for saying ‘ ‘When you ‘re young, you ‘re thinking: ‘Where are the boys? The boys are with Bernie,” suggesting that women who support Bernie are doing so to meet men. These thoughts belong in Backwards-ville because they suggest that, for reasons based solely on gender, women should not have the same voter autonomy that men do.
