“Look, you didn’t leave your party. The party left you.”

Gloria Steinem (1934) American feminist and journalist

The Humanist interview (2012)
Context: I think feminists and progressive Democrats err when they accusingly say to Republican women, “How can you be a Republican?” Nobody responds to that. But if you say, “Look, you didn’t leave your party. The party left you.
