Gloria Steinem talks to Stephanie Sy
Stephanie Sy: You transformed 80 this year. The New York Times had an image of you aided by the headline "it's this that 80 Looks Like, That headline has pretty much followed you every decade the past three decades. in the 70th birthday you said, "This one has the ring of mortality, So is 80 frightening?
Gloria Steinem: yeah, It is in a lot of ways. For me 50 meant the end of center of life, Which for women has more significance since we have been wrongly valued only for childbearing. So 50 was rough. Sixty was great because which had been like entering a new, Free country where you didn't have all these feminine expected values. And 70 was very good too. But 80 undoubtedly about mortality, Because every day I see in the classified people, in some cases people I know, who had died before 80. well, I plan to reside in to 100. But no matter if I do, that may be only 20 years. If I think of which happened 20 years ago it seems like yesterday.
When I talk to women about you they think of you as someone who is unapologetic about her views, But also glamorous and accessed. Is that how you call at your legacy, As making feminism less harmful in a way?
these pointers not, Because I would like it to be threatening. There's a lot that deserves frightening. We come to this with exactly what, whomever we are, effectively? I just hope that whatever it is I am is useful to the larger, Huge movement that it is. But I also think persons have a funny view of [Feminism] mainly because kind of secretly think, If you could get a man you wouldn't need equal pay. Do you know what I mean? So here's how I found that. I became interesting when I became a feminist. Up to then I was a pretty girl. I was not fantastic. But unlike when you are what people thought a feminist looked like I suddenly became better looking. I realized that there is something biased here.
You said before that the feminist movement would take about a hundred years. By that quotation, We're about at the nearly mark. you have clear gains, in the here in this country. Women make up about half the labourforce. Women tend to earn more college and enhanced degrees. They're ever more the breadwinners. you think feminists are still needed?
yes,that's right, There are more women on campus than there are men by a brief summary right now. do you understand why? It's because women are trying to get out of the pink collar ghetto into the white collar ghetto. A blue collar union job for a man still pays more than just one.
what is a pink collared ghetto?
a site job, Waitressing, health related, They're kind skin color jobs that we can't outsource, Because they call for personal service. Those may be, completely, Very disproportionately girl. often, Now her situation is worse than in my day as someone, Because she's about to graduate in big debt. And she will always make 1 or 2 million dollars less over her lifetime to pay the debt. I'm not trying to be disheartening. I'm just shopping say, "This is hands-on, We don't even have equal pay.
have sufficient men adjusted to the realities of the women's movement, Or has it led to men feeling displaced and unclear about their role in society today?
I don't want to share with you men as a lump, Just as i don't want to speak about women as a lump. Some men have completely grasped that it's their liberation too. That the masculine role is ridiculous just as the feminine role is ridiculous and dehumanizing and keeps you from expressing all your human qualities. They are feminists for their own sake as well as women's sake. they claim, "hold it a minute, I want to see my kids. I want policies in the workplace that let everybody be parents, Men let alone women. I desire an equal relationship and a partnership, comprehend, With a female or a male people. But i'd rather not be lonely. I should not be isolated,
there were a baseball player recently, A guy identified as Daniel Murphy, Whose wife had a toddler, And he decided to take a few days off so that he could be on paternity leave. He faced a big backlash among other triathletes. Is it at the stage where men sort of need a liberation movement too?
amazingly well, They always needed a liberation. i am talking about, It's racially akin. I came back from India when I was 24 something like that, furthermore, as I'd been living in India I suddenly realized how segregated this country was, Just how it looks. And I got mad by myself behalf. Who's telling me who my guys are and where I can live, And I think when men get mad for the kids and say, fully grasp, "But I want to be there when my child is born. It's an not avoidable moment,
It seems that some women feel suffocated by the balance of choices they have now, What Anne jessica Slaughter calls "Unresolvable tensions between as well as friends career, Was this an unintended response to feminism?
not an, It's an intended consequence of anti feminism. Because the purpose of feminism is humanity. What indicates is that men can, Should and must really become parents who spend as much time with kids as women do. And that question presupposes that that's impossible.
Does it also presuppose that we're just not there yet? That there aren't enough men who are willing to take on those conditions at home?
sure enough, We absolutely are in a state of flux. But more of us say, "I'm not going to have kids with someone who doesn't love them enough to be with them. And I'm not going to take a job that doesn't have a decent parental leave for both ladies and men, after all, Right now we in this country work a more obsessive workweek than any country internationally. We was formerly defeated by Japan; Now we're even more serious than Japan. excellent artwork i just rebel. People deserving of having a life.
you possess worked in Africa. i do know you've done some work in Afghanistan. How do you cater the material of women's liberation in places like that?
I you should listen. the women are doing it. it may not be up to me, because they are experiencing it there. It's up to us to assist each other. And to recognize that we all experience it in different ways. which include, Domestic violence here is huge. I believe it's bigger than in any modern democracy on the internet. If you added up all the women who've been murdered by their husbands or boyfriends since 9/11 as a period of time, And then you add up all the us consumers killed in 9/11, Afghanistan and irak, Many more for women who live been murdered by their husbands and boyfriends than that figure.
physical violence against women is cross cultural, And it is at plenty of levels worldwide. Adults worldwide have on purpose strangled or aborted 160 million infant girls or female fetuses because they wanted a boy. Girls inside were sold into sexual slavery. Why is physical violence against women cross cultural? If you're saying it has no a biological root, Why does it look to be everywhere?
extremely well, most notably it's not absolutely everywhere. what i'm saying is, there are many matrilineal cultures that we can see, And we are being subtracted from it in various ways. But patriarchy is a politics system just like colonialism was a political system. That was location too. bigotry, setting up, that you understand, The justification for the colonization of Africa and North and south usa and so on was profound racism. in which could not adapt to the future. You were almost doing them a favor to eliminate them.
I'm distinguishing religion and spirituality when I say that. But what happened historically seems to be that the original spiritual systems in which God was seen as all living things gradually changed so God was withdrawn from nature to make it OK to conquer nature. And withdrawn from women to regain it OK to conquer women.
quite simply, God became used as a means to control?
properly, God looked suspiciously just like ruling class.
And also happened to always be depicted as a man.
associated with, That's what i mean. i'm talking about, Jesus with blond hair and blue eyes in the center of the Middle East? impress.
Didn't speak out loud? And yet there are billions of folks that are religious. I want to share Pope Francis, Because you and he also have a couple of issues in common: immigration reform, human trafficking, poverty. have you got any hope that women will be less marginalized in the church and beyond under Pope Francis?
I want for [-censured-=https://www.bestbrides.net/preparing-for-a-date-with-latina-women-how-to-make-it-a-success/]dating Latina women[/-censured-] women whatever they want on their own. Some women want to enter in the church and reform it, Some women want to go out of the church. We all have to figure out what is right for us and the most comfortable. But when the pope sees to it that the Catholic Church pays taxes everywhere right now they have parking lots likely not paying taxes on. They're impoverishing the cities and countries they're in by not paying taxes. The events are not equal. the women can't become priests. Women are denied reproductive freedom, Which happens to be the single most important determinant of whether we're healthy or not, intellectual or not, In the workforce or not, And put in we live. He's still question that.
It's been even more than 40 years since Roe v. sort. Abortion rights evermore,ripoffs fought over. And rrn between 2011 and 2013, More than 200 laws restricting abortion at the. What is driving the latest push toward anti abortion procedures?
The failure at the federal level to get a constitutional amendment against abortion or to really curb abortion has caused the anti abortion forces to focus on state legislatures that are controlled by old-fashioned forces. regarding murdering abortion doctors, that they can did eight or nine times, And picketing et cetera, vehicle trying to do away with clinics by getting the state legislatures to impose impossible restrictions and building requirements. they've long ago lost public opinion and actual real life. One in three western women chooses, demands, To have an abortion sooner or later in her life. your requirements?: Will she be secure or not.
