2.)?When someone calls you a bitch, Gloria Steinem says you should say thank you.?Yesterday,?Cosmopolitan published an article?with the feminist of all feminists who said that while being an ambitious women is easier in today’s world and “less scary” to society, but women are still expected to shut their mouths and “be good.”

“Within my memory, the very idea that a woman would “go to business,” as they would have said in the suburbs, rather than be a housewife and mother, was a bad thing,” Steinem tells Cosmopolitan. “So I think it’s changed a lot. Still, if you don’t play a submissive role, if you don’t do what you’re supposed to do, you get to be a loud black woman or a bitchy white woman.”

Her solution? Say thank you! In her words it, “totally disarms them. They don’t know what to do.”

“We have to call them on it. If you call them on it, it changes people’s heads.”
