Gloria's ideas are still as relevant as they ever were.
voice-verified
Glad that you raised that because Gloria always wanted to stress this idea that everyone can be a mother, everyone can mother.
voice-verified
She said, We are all able to mother, whatever our sex or our age or our abilities.
voice-verified
It's impossible for me to hear that quote from her and not think about Dolly Parton and the fact that last week we were hearing how she saw herself as very much mothering the nation or mothering the world.
voice-verified
And it's just so interesting.
voice-verified
Interesting that we had these two examples of women who did not fit the traditional mold for what we want from women in the public eye.
voice-verified
I think if there's one vein of the criticism that does have a little bit of a ring of truth here, it's that these second-generation feminist leaders, such as Gloria Steinem, were not always the most tuned to the intersectionality of feminism, the way that class and race intersect with women's rights.
voice-verified
And I can see how some younger Australians in particular look at that.
voice-verified
Contention that they are supposed to be living their mother's unlived lives.
voice-verified
And they say that's impossible for us because we cannot afford a home.
voice-verified
My mother, not my mother in particular, one's mother had a free university education, which I do not have anymore.
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
AI is taking all the job opportunities for young people.
voice-verified
I could see how there'd be a bit of anger there.
voice-verified
Like, Gloria, I can't live.
voice-verified
Live my mother's unlive life because it's so much harder for me.
voice-verified
And we are seeing that young Australians are the first generation to be potentially going backwards economically.
voice-verified
And that's a big deal.
voice-verified
And that's very different to what Gloria is saying.
voice-verified
Is saying.
