THE NATION never tires of the smoldering bitterness of Gloria Steinem. A new documentary of the 77-year-old child-hating, man-despising, God-taunting socialist aired last night on HBO. I did not see it, but then who needs to see it? It’s all been said a million times before.

Since feminism has been institutionalized and now exerts coercive power over the lives of many millions, how does Steinem interpret this amazing success? She refuses to see it as success. The feminist revolution has only just begin. “The point is we go forward. We’re nowhere near where we need to be,” she said in the film.

But where is it that we need to be?

A world where no woman feels ashamed for turning her back on others. Somehow, in Gloria’s mind, the “system,” the “structure,” the “dominant group” can be changed in such a way that women are pleased with lives of selfishness and heartlessness.

The feminist revolution must continue precisely because femininity cannot be destroyed.
