She also loved to inform on trans people, who she openly attacked.

It's wild that she's seen as some "pioneering feminist" and not actively hampering feminism via working with the US state and breaking solidarity with a large portion of marginalized women in favor of being a White Feminist who promotes detrimental books through the right-wing funded Ms. magazine she runs.

SHE WORKED FOR THE CIA

SHE WORKED FOR THE CIA

As someone else pointed out in the notes, the Chicago Tribune article is labeled "opinion" on it's website. Read through the article and the screenshots posted in the above reply are the extent of Gloria Steinem's mention. The Chicago Tribune article is mainly about how the CIA is/has been shady and how she should be ashamed of working for them.

The second article linked isn't even an article, it's a blog post that devolves into conspiracy theories, saying that she never stopped working for the CIA. I mean, I can see how if you only read the screenshots above it can lead you to believe one thing or another about her involvement in the Black Feminist movement, but involvement in Satanism & mind control? I mean, these people also believe Angela Davis/MLK/The Black Panthers were all CIA too. When they say all that and then tie it up with: "Her involvement in the black feminism/lgbtqia+ agenda was used by the CIA to destroy black families/communities," you kinda lose me, tbh... Especially when looking at the amount of people who share it on social media are also anti-LGBTQIA+ or anti-feminism.

Instead of taking these screenshots or my word as fact, read these "articles" for yourself here:

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYINGGGGGGGG!!!! Like the last person said, tech bros (and Silicon Valley as a whole) fundamentally reject consent. This is why Microsoft refuses to let you say no permanently and "reminds you in 3 days," this is why AI """"artists"""" keep stealing from artists, this is why websites make you go through 14 menus to turn off tracking cookies.
