This is only half right. The capitalists loved feminism. Biggest expense of many businesses is labor. Double the labor pool, labor cost plummets, & profits skyrocket, so of course the capitalists at the CIA appreciated Steinem, and vice versa.

Would add that Alan Greenspan made a similar remark about his consulting firm. How he hired as many women as he could, since he could get sharp ones at a considerable discount.

Her ties to the CIA are mentioned in the article, but nothing about what the GGP is talking about.

Users have been flagging these. I've unkilled them and also marked https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49548341 so it doesn't get autocollapsed the way it normally would.

You've been around this site a long time, more than long enough to know that posts like this are flamebait and against the guidelines.
