Steinem made the comment Friday night in response to a question from comedian and "Real Time" host Bill Maher when asked why the former secretary of state isn't doing better with young women.
Steinem said that young women will get more radical as they age, because women lose power as they get older.

Maher was surprised by Steinem's remark.
"Now if I said that -- 'Yeah, they're for Bernie 'cause that's where the boys are' -- you'd swat me," Maher said.
"No, I wouldn't," Steinem replied.
Steinem came out in support of Clinton back in October when she penned an op-ed for The Guardian.

We dismissed their answer as a delaying tactic and launched Operation Enduring Freedom.
Now Turkey says we have their terrorist---Galen. He is in Pennsylvania. They requested we give him to them. We said we would if they have convincing evidence he was responsible for the coup in Turkey.
So if we refuse and they have no evidence, could they do what we did in Afghanistan and launch an operation on us? less
