Imagine people with opposing opinions on a TV show, talking calmly to each other and not interrupting or shouting at each other. I miss these times.

[@hungryhippowdon7141]

It's crazy how different this was 50 years ago.

[@k033as9]

Yeah. A different world

[@Mister_Listener]

@@TakenTook true, but the hateful, conservative value system full of self loathing is on full display any year, any season, any decade. GOP has been making trouble for a very long time.

[@Mister_Listener]

@@TakenTook 💯 true. And all the money in politics hasnt helped. And all the guns. And homeless people. We are in bad shape here in the USA. Sadly, nobody is teaching us how to be kind to our neighbors either. Churches teach the exact opposite nowadays.

[@sandrashevey8252]

No different. I knew her in the Seventies when she tried to inch me out of a TV show. I was being interviewed about `Down With Myth America` the first gender in film essay to have been published in the New York Times. Steinem was talking about the launch of `Ms` magazine. I had done a few years earlier a symposium for `Pageant` magazine, `Can Black Women and White Women Really Get Along?` On the panel Jackie Susann, Judith Viorst (`Tricia is a vanilla ice-cream cone`), Flo Kennedy, Betty Friedan, others. I myself Sandra Shevey moderated.

26:41 everyone that was present at Meet the Press here on this episode, was very impressive in there dialogue, and how they carried them selves.

[@Mister_Listener]

What a time capsule. Commercials included. Jill Ruckleshaus (sp.) was rather lovely and well spoken. Gloria, of course was strong too.

[@erepsekahs]

Gloria was a self serving bully, liar, and a pig. She FORCED women into the workplace and kids onto the streets. THAT is a fact.

[@erepsekahs]

Steinham has won the right for women to be overworked, overstressed, overtaxed, to have to pay for all the requirements of looking after children, and all the other etcetera's. Suicide, illness, cancer, dying young which were all the privileges of men. No longer. I see Steinham is not married with children, and additionally she sucks off a great income for doing virtually nothing other than speak.

[@essmhtvny165es]

September 10, 1972

[@frederickrapp5396]

I could tell by listening that it was from 1972. How do you know the exact date?

[@alecia175]

These 2 actually look the part. If I were to think of a feminist from the 1970s and a Republican in the 1970s. I would imagine these 2 in my head.

[@terranamber]

Gloria Steinem> Whoever that other woman is.

[@Dana_inc]

Yeah she talking to the first one!

[@erepsekahs]

Well, Gloria Steinem has succeeded in what she wanted to do - - force every woman into the workplace in order to attempt to afford what it takes a married couple to afford these days, namely a house, two cars, and put food on the table. When the average family had one working person in it then prices of commodities were what one person supporting a family could afford. Now, naturally, the cost of living has risen to what two working people can afford. Well done Gloria, now women have to get out and work, (not can get out and work), and yet the house still has to be taken care of, the plumber and all the fixit people have to be supervised, the preparation of meals is now a time consuming job for two people, when the kids should be coming home to a mother they are out roaming the streets and arcades, two cars have to be serviced, etc. etc. The government love it...and, of course that is, (in spite of all their words), who was behind all this in their greed for greater taxation.

[@bethp3320]

This is why I don’t want to have kids!

[@krazyoldkatlady192]

I don’t think that was because of Gloria. I think women were forced to go to work because of inflation and the economy overall.

[@allmc2008]

Amen

[@conanboyle7]

This video is over 50 years old. If you are 20 and under you have novice because you have not experienced it. It is criminal to empathize with the oppression of others.

[@ArabicPrincessIV]

That's wild.

[@michaelgarrow3239]

Wow- complete thoughts. 🙄

[@firouz256]

Miss Steinem and other American women had to fight for their rights for decades - and still do. Yet not many of the same women speak up for the rights of Iranian women fighting for freedom by paying with their lives on the streets of Iran right now!

[@israelclemons2652]

Because this feminist movement was a game plan to empower white women, while the civil rights movement did more for any nation than any movement planted by America and their operatives since. Their leader, Gloria was CIA.

[@iamze339]

Awww back in the day where women doesn’t scream and yell on tv. This is so sweet

[@frederickrapp5396]

Seeing the beautiful Catherine “Cassie” Mackin again on this 1972 broadcast takes me back to my younger days. May she Rest In Peace for all eternity.

[@battleroyal-z9g]

I am a 60 year old woman. I am a feminist. I will never support Gloria Steinem nor any of theses organizations that signed the Open Letter in support of Amber Heard again. I am horrified that these people and groups did no research before signing.

[@belair90210]

Come on Depp was no saint. 🙄

[@whyismylifeweird4251]

@@belair90210 That’s not an excuse to support Amber Heard what is wrong with you?

[@132indo]

you are old enough to remember Steinem was a CIA plant into the McGovern campaign. she's a country club bourgeois feminist. kinda like the metoo movement today. led by celebrities only. all leaders no followers.

[@AnonymousC-lm6tc]

What’s wrong with you? Depp was abusive in every way and held all of the power in the relationship.

[@protonneutron9046]

The Equal Rights Amendment is NOT about RIGHTS. This video is completely false. Women DO have equal rights in the USA.

[@Bvdefgh]

[@benden5095]

How can abortion be equal rights for women? Do men have the right to terminate a women's pregnancy? How is abortion a considered freedom, how is taking away the right of a child to live considered freedom? This is more of case of not wanting to accept accountability for one's actions. Where is the freedom for men when a woman gets pregnant?

[@wanderingwhimsy4800]

Did you use a condom? It was your choice. Oh wait you didn't?? So you robbed a woman of that reproduction choice. Healthcare .we are not second class citizen. . enough time has gone by. Bodily Autonomy!!

[@wanderingwhimsy4800]

Yup you're free to pay child support or go to jail.!

[@pilkpepsimilkk]

because now people aren’t forced to have pregnancies they don’t want.

[@AnonymousC-lm6tc]

Men aren’t the ones who’s bodies are irrevocably changed by pregnancy or stressed until birth.

[@FizzAudi]

[@michelleyb.9709]

Explain how abortion does not stop a beating heart. This never should have been sold as a womens " right".

[@Mister_Listener]

You dont get to decide that anywhere else but your own family. Stop being such a cruel bully!

[@Noseqquiero]

Plus the child has wholly separate DNA. It isn’t and never was the woman body or choice. Just a lie perpetuated by murderers

[@marinamemmo3564]

Abortion describes the termination of a pregnancy. A septic pregnancy kills quickly and must be terminated immediately to save the mother, even if the baby's heart is still beating. Otherwise you'll have two deaths instead of just one. It is not at all uncommon for a pregnancy to develop unpredictable complications such as that which endangers the health & life of the mother. Women know this and most are willing to take the risk - most, but not all. Forcing a women to risk a pregnancy and put her life in danger, regardless of the unique circumstances that define her life, is fundamentally unethical and an abuse of the coercive power of the state. State power was created to foster and protect the lives of people who are ALREADY born - like mothers and their born children.

[@Noseqquiero]

@@marinamemmo3564 instead of trying to type a dissertation on a topic, listen to pro life OBGYNs. Only thereafter would I willfully dialogue with u.

[@Mister_Listener]

@@Noseqquiero is that what Jfk Jr told you when he came back from the dead? Your worries about abortion are dishonest and disingenuous and perverted. Stop trying to elbow your religion into a discussion where it doesnt belong…that is also perverted.

Katie Hobbs in Arizona had Obama supporting her discrimination against a Sharp, Intelligent Black Women toon 6 years to go through the courts as she rises to the top. Hypocritical behavior undermines progress. Please stop ignoring Hobbs broke the Laws of the land, Obama protects and support. Please tell Obama children, government health insurance is protected abuse will full funding.
