GLORIA STEINEM: “WE’VE BECOME THE MEN WE WANTED TO MARRY”

AG051301_09cut

We’ve admired and idolized the brilliant Gloria Steinem for what seems like forever and not many photos of her come along these days. Of course she would show up at the Make Equality Reality event in Beverly Hills – supporting women’s rights around the world. It’s a never ending battle. Feminist Gloria has always been an inspiration to women and has done more to enlighten them than any other person in recent history. Nice to see that Kathy Griffin is in agreement.

ROMAN POLANSKI HAS A REAL PROBLEM WITH WOMEN

As if Roman Polanski weren’t revolting enough – he is now in Cannes declaring that equality for women is “purely idiotic.” He goes on to say that the birth control pill “masculinizes women and chases away romance.”(THIS from a man who admitted to having unlawful sex with a 13 year old minor!) Like some old curmudgeon he smugly implies that men won’t open doors or buy flowers for women who are equal. As if equal pay and rights have ANYTHING to do with romance or manners! (Above, Polanski, 79, and his wife Emmanuelle Seigner, 46, who towers above him, in spite of his shoe lifts.)
