"Feminist icon" Gloria Steinem was a CIA operative. Steinem ran CIA fronts to keep activists focused on gender and identity politics, instead of class war.

  Saw a post about her passing on YouTube, which only mentioned her as a feminism activist and the comments were great. Basically mostly “ah, that CIA operative” you mean?".

  Ahhh the Susan B Anthony thing.

  I might still give Feminine Mystique to a disillusioned striver tradwife as her first peek out of the cave though. It targets a certain demographic very well.

  Never really liked her vibe. Always seemed kind of fake.

  So I’m not really shocked.
