CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 4, 2026
GENERALLY, I DO NOT LIKE TO SPEAK ILL OF THE DEAD BECAUSE WHEN THEY DIE THEY GO TO THEIR ULTIMATE JUDGE AND HE GIVES THEN EITHER THE REWARDS OR THE CONDEMNATIION THEY DESERVE FOR ACCEPTING OR REJECTING CHRIST IN THIS LIFE.AND SO I WILL NOT CONDEMN GLORIA STEINEM WHO DIED THIS WEEK AT 92. I WILL SAY THERE IS A CONTRAST BETWEEN STEINEM AND DOLLY PARTON WHO DIED LAST WEEK. ONE WAS A UNIFIER, THE OTHER A DIVIDER.
STEINEM, LIKE BETTY FRIEDEN, HELEN GURLEY BROWN AND OTHER LEFT WING FEMINIST LEADERS TOLD WOMEN THEY COULD HAVE IT ALL – A FULL TIME JOB, MOTERHOOD AND THE GOVERNMENT WOULD HELP WITH DAYCARE. IT DIDN’T WORK FOR A LOT OF WOMEN AND MANY HAVE QUIT THE WORK FORCE, INCLUDING MOST RECENTLY KAROLINE LEAVITT, THE NOW FORMER WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY WHO WANTS TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH HER CHILDREN AND HUSBAND. KIDS ARE ONLY YOUNG ONCE.
WOMEN AND MEN MUST MAKE CHOICES ON WHAT MATTERS MOST AND CHILDREN SHOULD COME FIRST. BARBARA BUSH ONCE SAID IT MATTERS LESS WHAT HAPPENS IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND MORE WHAT HAPPENS IN YOUR HOUSE.
GLORIA STEINEM ONCE SAID: “WOMEN NEED MEN LIKE FISH NEED A BICYCLE.” I WONDER WHAT SHE’S THINKING NOW? I’M CAL THOMAS.
