Indeed. Guys who think women have it too easy speaks to how far things have come in a generation or two. Some don't understand how second class citizen their mothers & grandmothers were in their time. If you think 50% of the country not being kept as second class citizens has negatively impacted your ability to make it in life, please look in the mirror and reflect on your own failings.

Not just that, but being socialized to have women enforce their own status as second class citizens in a variety of ways. In some fashion, this is what the "Tradwife" movement is about.

Example: I recall my grandmother opining that women who were assaulted were to blame for their assault, because of how they dressed. That's a hot take even Fox News is staying away from today.

> CIA operative tasked with obfuscating the socialist origins of feminism I've read this sentence multiple times, but it still does not make sense to me

Right wing talking points. They see feminism as a threat (which it is to them, but for the good overall).

If your society can’t survive without a permanent second class of citizens maybe it deserves to be destroyed

Why do people always have to pinpoint some flaw, issue, or mistake in order to tarnish people that have achieved something great?

Steinem was a human, not a paragon of perfection. She least used some of her time and energy on this Earth to try to make the world a better place.
