"If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck and walks like a duck and you think it's a pig, it's a pig. Trust your judgment and speak up when something is wrong," Steinem encouraged the audience at a screening of Miss Representation, January 2011.
Ed Note: Is this a form of pin-up feminist calendar art? Focusing on Ms. Steinem's awesome sandals & shades, and including a photo of her in a favorite old school starlet pose, the bubble bath shot? The history of cheesecake imagery is a dialect of feminism. And fierce vintage looks are just as valid a form of communication as fuck off looks of Feminist Boredom. (As the genius Kara Jesella said better: "feminist boredom is so real. also, kind of hot.")

Nice quote! She recently spoke at Sundance with the Women's Media Center (http://womensvoicesforchange.org/video-pick-gloria-steinem-at-sundance.htm) about becoming a writer and an activist, about women in the arts, and about what comes next. Definitely worth watching.
