Our very first Ms is 75 and still Glorious

STEINEM:still Gloria

QUOTABLE QUOTES: “It’s more of a feminist heyday now because I see more men who are real partners, real parents to their children and real allies to women. When I talk to groups of men, what they most want to talk about is how much they missed having real fathers. If we can help men become the fathers they wished they had, we’ll have a revolution!”

The speaker? The first and foremost Ms, the glorious Gloria Steinem, who turned 75 this year.

In honour of Ms. Steinem — who doesn’t seem to hasn’t slowed down at all — and also because I’m in transit today, between countries, we present the following feminist humour. It’s not all that new, and if you’re male you may miss some of the more delicate nuances. And if you’re female, please remember that, much as you’d like to, you can’t actually sign him up for any of these academic courses.
