“Feminist icon” Gloria Steinem, the daughter of a traveling antiques dealer and a clinically insane single mother, considers herself to be an “average American” and not a person damaged by her mentally-unstable mother, as she got married for the first time at the age of 66 and was childless her whole life. This accounts for her insane view of the world.
