Feminist Icon: Gender “Invented” by Patriarchy to Control Reproduction
Posted On 04 Oct 2017
There are so many logical holes in this bizarre speech by feminist icon Gloria Steinem that we hardly know where to start. But maybe when you’re confronted with abject insanity, the best thing to do is just let it play itself out. You start arguing with madness and you become mad yourself. Something this…idiotic…can just be looked at, stared at, and contemplated until it dissolves on its own. At least, that’s what we’re hoping. Although, from the looks of social media and college campuses over the last few years, we’re beginning to wonder. For some reason, there is more appetite for liberal insanity in this country than we would have ever thought possible.
Appearing at the March for Racial Justice rally in Washington this weekend, Steinem told the gathered crowd that gender was a fictional concept invented by men to control reproduction.
“So all the women in the world are in some degree of trouble, because it’s all about controlling reproduction,” she said. “It’s the why of it. Did you ever wonder why? Yeah I mean, the first step in every hierarchy is patriarchy in order to control reproduction
“So, and racism, caste in India, class,” she continued. “It all makes it much worse, because to maintain those divisions, you have to control women even more. So these things have always been intertwined. It is just not possible to disentangle these deep caste systems. It is absolutely impossible. They can only be uprooted together.”
Steinem at no point offered any historical evidence to back up her outrageous claims. Why would she? Nothing the left is on about these days is rooted in history, science, or logic. It has claimed the mantle of “academia,” somehow, but it bears no relationship to traditional academic courses of study. “Social science” is a joke. It mimics the mores and pathways of hard science, uses some of the same terminology, but it is like…a chiropractor is to a spinal surgeon. It is an astrologer to an astronomer. We’re not saying there’s not some merit to sociology, psychology, and the rest, but these soft disciplines can and have been used to perpetrate some of the most astounding “theories” we’ve ever seen come out of a college campus. And Steinem is quite obviously a true believer.
“So let’s just remember folks, okay that gender was invented in order to control reproduction, and we’re now disinventing it, right?” she said. “That race was invented in fact in order to justify colonialism and slavery, and we have not done a good job in this country of uprooting the racism that justified slavery. We got rid of slavery, but not this.”
We’ll remember those things, Ms. Steinem. We’ll remember that this is what feminists actually believe. We’ll remember so we don’t let our guard down some day and accidentally fall for one of your more reasonable social arguments. We’ll remember that it’s all rooted in illogical nonsense, grand-scale conspiracy theories about the human condition, and a woeful lack of real education. We’ll remember because the future of our country depends on it.
Dear feminist icon Gloria Steinem,
Feminists Are Useful Idiots, And Doomed.
youtu.be/vLqHv0xgOlc
Feminists and other leftists are useful idiots who serve only to destabilize the society. When the goal is reached, they will be “lined up against the wall”.
1984 interview with a former KGB agent and Soviet diplomat, Yuri Bezmenov.
This is so true they are the Useful Idiots. Which I saw this before now, it would have save me a lot of time in researching to understanding this.
Line ’em up! I can’t wait.
What is even more frightening is that there are people who actually believe her. She is as dumb as they come and then some and to boot, she has a following!
Because most feminists I think are insecure.
And outright liars!
They felt slighted in their girlhood that they looked different..
It is spiritual deception. She has demons that they are following.
It does not surprise me that there are idiots that follow her. Just look at the amount of screw balls that voted for that horrible hitlery. God bless our Country and President Trump.
Perhaps if we close all colleges and make Christian schools, we can over time undo their damage to women. Men were in awe of us. They have made silly idiots of themselves so women are now laughable. I led both boys and girls in my neighborhood..I was a leader from birth.
She is a plague on humanity that needs eliminated & has been since the 1960s.
Burning of bras never made them unnecessary. Just made those silly girls old before their time….
Burning bras just polluted the clean air and caused coopers droopers.
God invented gender, some people are really stupid!
An alternative view is that MEN invented God, back along during the Bronze Age Collapse that took place in the 12th Century BCE.
People who insist that the Biblical story is, “All ye know and all ye need 2 know,” just aren’t very well informed.
Einstein (I bet he was smarter than you), said the order in the Universe is proof of Intelligent Design.
God chooses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. Maybe you’re too “wise” for your own good. Hell in eternity isn’t worth waiting to find out. Why don’t you ask God Himself if He is real? Surely you want to know before it is too late?
I don’t doubt that God is real, but my faith informs me that something like a minimum of 15,000 other deities R about equally real.
Enjoy hell jimmy, you might want to investigate the 10 Commandments before the ACLU gets rid of them.
I have investigated it. The passage is a deliberate bad copy, containing but a rump eleven elements of a fourteen-part Original.
To the above comment I will mention in IQ my executive secretary cousin tested higher than all the bosses and scientists and military top brass employed at a huge aircraft company. I forget which one but she lived in Encino at the time….She was smarter and quite beautiful as well than all the men there. It is hard to be a smart woman in this world…But we exist…She might have beaten Einstein in IQ. We shall never know as she died this year. Because of my IQ I was in classes primarily filled with boys..But me and others were in the same category of intelligence. The football players were in none of those classes.
Just like U, and just like me, Einstein’s greatest intellectual accomplishment was learning 2 speak. There IS intelligence behind the way Earth and universe work. Your embrace of the notion that it’s Yahweh/Allah’s intelligence just makes U a useful idiot.
I thought that for 40 something years until the day I could read and understand it. I couldn’t get through a page before, and what I could read seemed ridiculous. For some reason I can read it and understand it now-maybe party because I see it playing out, and how It has been intentionally skewed, made to seem uncool, as if there could be no fun in such a life, so people would turn away and not see truth. Example: Jesus was a teacher and perfect example of how one should treat others. Today he’d still be considered a rebel, he went against the grain, spoke the truth, especially about things like usery and money changers who took advantage of people. I bet his exposure of them had more to do with him being crucified than being the “messiah” – he didn’t like tptb squashing everyday people and he was blowing the whistle on their game (nothing’s really changed). That people are now shamed to admit someone like Jesus is their role model is the most shameful thing of all. I think there’s some tainting both on purpose and by mistake (human nature) but if you have a good understanding of the sciences and history, it’s absolutely fascinating with endless things that can be learned.
Great… the perfect excuse to throw out all the muslims out the country and back to where they belong.
Thank you !!!… Can I use your post in others forums?
I love to do it….
12th Century, and 12th century BCE R about 2200 years apart, and not 2 B confused.
So you believe you came from a monkey and I believe I was made in God’s image.
Like Doctor Carson said…”You’ve convinced me…YOU came from a monkey.”
The 2 R not necessarily mutually exclusive.
In my eyes and God’s ….yes they are.
Well, we’re all glad 2 know U speak on God’s behalf. It’s all so much clearer now.
That’s the problem with you folks that come from monkeys..still a ways behind.
Linguists invented gender. God invented sex…male and female; boy and girl; man and women.
dog and bitch… no pun intended…
If you have trouble communicating change the rules. I think they stay up at night thinking of ways they can change the rules. The Bible says God created man in His own image and then He created woman as a help mate. and they were not created at the same time.
And to be able to say man was good, he put all things in women to take up the slack…Seems man was missing so many things back then.
Just a question. Why is it that you either have to follow the lead of the true feminist or you are under a mans thumb I like having my own mind and doing what I think best they make it sound like you must follow someone or you are lost
Guess who they want you to follow?
To control you and put you in a box
You are correct!!
Isn’t Steinem under psychiatric care?
I think probably for many, many years she is no spring chicken.
She should be
Let me get this straight. Men invented gender, so I guess that means women do not really exist, but are just a figment of mans imagination. A few more fools like this in the world, and we will be doomed. Steinem, listen to this……….” GOD made them Man and Woman”.
my husband just wanted to check under the leaf
You’ll be surprised!! Left turn mutation.
One word comes to mind. . LOON.
Now if we can just make those pesky XX chromosomes and that crack between your legs go away, we can get rid of gender, Voila!
Psych consult needed for Gloria.
Another liberal fool babbling TRUTH by her perspective. I suppose nature had noting to do with ovulation and the natural desire engrained and hardwired to perpetuate the human race.
Men invented gender for the connector ends of wires and cables. Men invented gender for water pipe coupling hardware. Men invented gender to describe threaded ends of things. It was a convenient way to differentiate between the connectors…male and female. When I say “Invented”, I really mean “Borrowed” from the patent holder…God. How many ‘genders’ have the leftists created just in the past 8 years? We can’t keep up. Ms. Steinem wants to divide men and women. Horrific idea. We need each other in order to SURVIVE, much lass THRIVE. The leftist agenda of dividing Americans seems to be in high gear. Every race imaginable is supposed to hate all the other races. Men and women are supposed to hate each other, Ms. Steinem? Your agenda has achieved a new low.
Show me one baby born from a man’s body..We excel in so many wonderful things…Eve was deceived, Adam was stupid…and made a huge mess of it all.
Well said, Maryann.
Men and Women excel in many different ways. We are different in many ways so as to perform different functions and complement the other partner.
I am larger and stronger than my wife and I therefore perform the heavier duties around the house.
My wife is smaller and not as strong as me, and also better looking, and she performs those duties that I would probably screw up, like child birth, compassion, and looking good!
The bottom line is that we are here to do different things and yet complement each other……live with it and thrive.
Maryann33, sometimes I am actually stupid but I work at not being as stupid as Adam, often I fail as I am just a man.
P.S. God created man and woman to work with each other on different levels yet work together as one.
Amen… brother. My wife and I started doing exactly that, and today , 43 years later we are still at it…and hoping for many more years…Together….
Roger that
What is she now 100? She has been one truly screwed up woman for her entire life
Simple Penis envy. As a young girl you mull it over and pick a side to bewail or rejoice..There is definitely a difference in the sexes.
Thank God!
Debilitated reasoning is a factor in aging. Isn’t “Planned Parenthood” the equivalent of “controlled reproduction?” Aren’t the means of birth control pills and devices in order to “control reproduction?” Isn’t the subject of “choice” so prevalent a topic if political rhetoric that “control” is not a factor at all. If anything the self-control of woman is the real issue. Honestly, I never heard the term “gender” until I got into a foreign language class. There was that “punny” little observation that “words have gender, people have sex.” “La, la, la, la…..” On studying German, I always thought that, by force of culture, it was mystifying why “die Frau” (the woman, wife) was feminine, but “das Mädchen” (the girl or maiden) was neuter. Why was gender in words, delineating people, different from sex ( male and female) in people? Since there are rules, especially with respect to the endings of words (in European, foreign languages) which determine with a high degree of regularity their “gender,” a departure from a perceived consistency of logic causes us to wonder why there are incongruous exceptions to that logic. For certain, some day “das Mädchen” is going to be “die Frau.” So it is not as if there is some “doubt” involved with respect to her sexuality. She does not embody “ein Fall” and “ein Fall” (one case), equaling “Zwei Fälle” (two cases) or “Zweifel” (“doubt”). When she matures, she is the egg-bearer. This is her innate role in life. It is not to be demeaned or denigrated or cursed.
This is the unalienable right of a woman, by virtue of creation and the intelligent design of the Creator. Women in Christian society are valued, honored and respected for the propriety of their behavior and choices regarding their innate essence determining their role. To deny this, while a “freedom of choice,” liberates one to the battlefield of “equality affirmation.” Asserting “transgenderism” is about as logical as neuter gender in biological females.
It is a “freedom of choice,” but with no benefit of purpose, especially, when purpose is innate and no alteration of design will effectuate the equal abilities which are innate. While happiness and gratification are choices, the extent to which, as goals, they defy or deny innate purpose and fulfillment, must be the realization that they are hedonistic and irreconcilable, a fundamental perversion of purpose.
Steinem is saying Nothing ! except Blah, Blah, Blah ! It seems all she wants to do is to Create more Nonsense to further confuse people [Men & Woman] more reasons to Protest Nothing ! We know she is the Guru [ Whoaps] that’s a Masculine term for Mans Control over a Woman ? It’s just what I said earlier ,Blah,Blah, Blah ! Everybody needs to Blame Somebody so as usual it will be White Men at any age ! Before it was only Young White Men 25-40 ,Now it’s Every White Male ! Give me a Break ! What’s Next !
LMAO, STEINEM HAS DID EVERYTHING SHE HAS PREACHED AGAINST A ND SOLD HER BOOKS AS MAOS RED BOOK OF FEMINAZIS RELIGION. THIS IS EDUCATION? How much does WELLESLEY RECEIVE FROM TAX PAYERS OR ANY FEMINAZI SUPPOSED DEN OF HIGHER LEARNING. ALBRIGHT. CLINTON BOTH FROM WELLESLEY. CLINTONS GRADUATE THESIS SHE SEES SAUL ALINSKI AS HER HERO INTERVIEWED HIM NUMEROUS TIMES. SO ALBRIGHT KNEW HIM ALSO. DOES ANYONE SEE THE COLLUSION CORRELATION. IN ALL THESE LESBIANS. OUT OF FEMINAZI. DENS OF TREASON.
It follows that women invented the Dumb A$$ok RAT party.
I just don’t even know what to say about this, I mean REALLY!?!?
All of these screwed up wannabe women are uglier than witches
That’s why shes a feminist!!!!!! She was Ssoooooooooo ugly she couldn’t get a date for the prom!!! BINGO instant feminist!!
Why is this “thing” allowed to run lose?
So is this crazy feminist suggesting that men should give birth. I think that may be difficult. Why can’t everyone just realize that there are men and there are women.. If you are lucky enough to find one that you love, if they are of the opposite sex then together you can have children, If not just be happy that you found someone like you. AND LEAVE THE REST OF US THE HELL ALONE.
Don’t mess around with God’s plan. That is what’s wrong with some people…. They want to play the Devine roll…It won’t work!!!!
God will make his move on America soon and all this will change radically with the real boss in charge.
Think God will leave these idiots in place
How does God come into this conversation? He would not approve this conversation which is mean and spiteful. Name calling? NO. Feeling superior to another human being? NO. The Bible is a guide that is meant to calm the aggressive. Jesus preaches not of threats or unkindness but of love and peace. Awful responses.
Can we drop Steinem in Afghanistan’s Muslim population? Would love to see who wins that battle! She hates men, Muslims treat women like slaves — great match!
Maybe she thinks that man created chromosomes too?
They couldn’t possibly as I have heard the docs on TV bewail the fact that they are short on them…Women are the winners in that department.
What crock
The loony left is at it again. More proof they are mentally ill.
Actually, Feminism was created to control reproduction.
Ok, caveman and cave woman. Man fight, Work away from children- woman bare children, raise next generation of fighters, work near children – Man dies, family go away. More man, more woman, more children, family survive. No conspiracy in that. The new paradigm – modern woman/ man and modern woman/man. Woman work away from child, man Work away from home. woman fight, man fight. Woman/man and woman/man have, adopt, make child – who is raised by another working man/ woman. Man/woman and man/woman too greedy to have more children, child take money and time away from fun. Man and woman die – replaced by one child who dies early – no more children, family gone. 50 years – society gone. So Gloria is right, it was about reproduction – reproduction of society. So to all those people who hate the society, don’t worry, you’ve destroyed it out of stupidity. You won!!! But, you’ll always blame it on someone else.
Excellent…Babies bond with their caregiver not their parent..Women who work pay too high a price. There is a time they can work but it is later in life and even then the cost is too high.
Anti-God, anti-American leaders come out with these outrageous beliefs and then you see it show up in society. I guess they are ready to have babies come from test tubes… maybe something like the Matrix? They’re up to something when one of their leaders makes a statement like this. It isn’t coming from nowhere.
Thank goodness Jesus Christ is coming soon for His church and we get to leave all this demonic madness behind.
Check Ms Steinhems work in the 60’s (I think she did a 60 minutes interview). “Patriarchy” like other many words has been inverted to insinuate something bad (is matriarchy bad yet?). It had nothing to do with limited reproductive choice. The psyop is population control and eugenics via transition from the terrible “patriarchy” to 2nd then 3rd wave feminism and finally the whole push to identity with anything BUT the gender one was born as, and praising people to be anything but male or female. No man + no woman = no natural/only lab made babies. Sperm counts dropping in many populations. Those who should be reproducing aren’t. Nurse your babies (for immunity), eat non gmo food, clean water. If we don’t use it we’ll soon lose it. Agenda undoing all normal human instinct and behavior. Most don’t know how to fix things, grow food, or build anymore-this is so sad. My 22 year old told me they don’t even teach cursive anymore. Will print be next? I believe GS knows every bit of this. Maybe all this bad was necessary to snap people out of it-that’s the only positive result of all the archonic Soros’s like activity, but they never should have put people to sleep in the first place.
She was born missing a chromosome so there’s that. Add the fact that what was left was so damaged and deranged that this is what we ended up with. The truly sad part of this is that there are actually people who understand her abject insanity. They’re called DemonRats.
This creature has been “looney” since she was first fuzzy. Somebody left some hormone switches in the off position, for certain.
Unfortunately she has decided at some point that there is no God. Poor woman – I only pray that she is enlightened before her end comes.
I was so happy being in the woman role and in the 60′ they came to try to brain wash us to give up our roll. The smart ones remained as they were…I see no need to compete with any man….I am content being woman. Do you see any man chasing after or continually making passes at the Steinem type??? Womanly women deal with this their whole long life. The cat and mouse game is between two different sexes.
I knew she was nuts, but this is like major sized Brazil nut crazy. Gloria, ever read the BIBLE? And GOD made them male and female and told them to “Go forth and multiply.” Gloria, he wasn’t talking about mathematics, he talking about reproduction, and guess what. Two of the same sex can’t multiply.
OMG!!! Don’t tell that to the LGBT crowd or they’ll condemn you!!
P.S. they don’t give 2 shits about the Bible either!!!!
There is no arguing with this kind of willful foolishness. This whole game is about control. I’m sure Steinem is aware of the truth, but she and others cruise along with their game to see how many people are actually stupid enough to buy her declaration, because she is, after all, Gloria Steinem!
But I am not so sure of the “she” word!
No kidding. Gloria Steinem is an idiot! Most of the world tries to imagine how she would have spent her life it she had been born with her own penis! Without one she is just a bitch.
Well, that’s mighty funny. Controlling reproduction? Who is it that walks into an abortion clinic seeking to murder the life they created? A WOMAN who negated her offspring’s right to reproduce!
She should have added, and I’m getting filthy Rich feeding you morons this line of horse s##t and your all taking it in like the good little snowflakes that you are.
It is so easy for Liberals to say stupid things and they are to stupid to realize that what they say does not make any sense! And they think they are smart and everyone else is too dumb to realize how smart they are !!!
Women used to be superior because God made us that way. All the docs will agree men are lacking many things common to women..But the left idiots made the BIG mistake of stepping down from their pedestal and trying to be EQUAL to men….Men will never equal us. But they are much stronger physically, generally taller, and can do some things in wars best left to them…There are brilliant men and there are brilliant women. I looked around me as a kid as we all played together, some boy games and some girl games etc and I made the decision early on that I was so lucky to be born a woman for all that I can do that men cannot. Unlike Hillary I had no penis envy, except on a dark night in the middle of nowhere when I need a gas station rest room.
Hum…natural selection comes to mind. I guess if these radical feminists believe that ‘every hierarchy is patriarchy in order to control reproduction’, might the answer be that they won’t reproduce. Problem solved!
“… Steinem told the gathered crowd that gender was a fictional concept invented by men to control reproduction.”
Had she prefaced that with laws about gender, then I might have agreed. But to suggest man created gender, is the fiction, here. I feel sad for those today, who managed to accept the concept that race and now gender is merely a state of mind. I don’t know about the others, but I’m quite aware of the race to which I belong, and the gender that I am. I’m in no way confused about either. And, race isn’t strictly about bone structure or the area on the globe from which your ancestor’s hail. That’s ethnicity. I say put this woman in a group home and throw away the key.
She is one of them and has always been. “Choice” was the way that the US lefties in this country could follow their intended objective. To kill the disposable people, to advance the cause of progress, more children from the fit and less from the unfit. The left in the US had Margaret Sanger and Kermit Gosnell and Planned Parenthood akin to Mengele and the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute.
I don’t see anywhere in our Constitute where it is a right to kill, that it is a choice. The government’s funding of Planned Parenthood is state sanction murder and part of the lefts agenda. The left in this country has been deceiving us for over a century.
The more I see what President Trump make a point on, the more I see that he is aware of all the major issues much more than you and I. When you see the swamp n(left and RINO’s that are Left) you can understand why they hate a President who knows what they are and is brave and tells the truth.
Now they are after White men, so you woman need to protect your sons and husband’s if they are white. They have been attempting to make our son, in the schools for a long time now, something they are not.
Are all these people crazy, or do they just act crazy? A true feminist does not have to continually talk about feminism constantly. Actions speak louder than words. These folk who whine constantly about feminism are unable to achieve their goals so they are always looking for someone, or group to blame for their failures.
FK HER !!! VIETNM VET
Psalm 14:1 King James Version (KJV) 14 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. It appears form some of the people who responded below are of this mind, if so God says you are a FOOL.
No one is quite sure where Gloria’s agenda starts or stops. She is a classic feminist moron who is intent in trying to convince women she is acting in their best interest. She is not. She has been a moral deviant for years and should be ignored and expelled from all relevancy!
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to
be actually something which I think I would never understand.
It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for
your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
