A great father can give a daughter the dignity that allows a woman to reject being used in society.
Amen
My father told me as a young woman no man is going to make a chef, maid, uterus and vagina out of my daughter.
My dad teached me the same , but he still now treats women like shit , even us , this is so toxic, somebody has advise?
If only we all had a good father or mother, however we all don't get that!!
@@JulieJLofficial TREAT HIM BACK THE SAME WAY
Makes me cry; Marilyn was so badly abused. Wish she had kept diaries. 🕊
She was willing to speak up and tell it all, in fact, she told the truth about this cruel industry in her last interview... It was at the end of her life when she was finding confidence and strength but they killed her because she had become a threat to many...
Why do we women put each other down?! Maybe we need to accept that we are unique. We each have different up bringings that shape who we are and why. So much hate in this world it's sad.
I think it cannot be said better than this way what we feel when we see Marylin 🖤 IF there was a movement than we could save her , like we are trying on Britney
The audacity of you?
If Britney could realize the people trying to control Her are on HER payroll,not the other way around.
Marilyn invented herself,her persona. She made million s. She looked vulnerable but she was strong. She understood comedy,was a great actress. She divorced Joe DiMaggio when he assault ef her. She was not a pushover. She called the shots. Established her own production company. Gentleman prefer blondes is a comedy.
All true apart from that she made millions.
I'm interested in how Marilyn subverted feminine stereotypes and how she flipped the script when challenging gender paradigms in film & culture. While I disagree that Monroe's character in Gentlemen Prefer Blonds was a joke, vulnerable, and seeking approval, I appreciate Steinem's overall analysis of Marilyn's herstorical significance to the Women's movement. We do need to support, encourage, and shine a light on one another's gifts & talents. Gloria is talking about women's mental health, institutionalization, stereotypes, and representation of women's identities & sexuality. How do those things play out on the screen, and was the performance authentic?
thank you
Marilyn Monroe was the victim of her childhood. And in those days of 1962 & before, antidepressent treatment was not that well & satisfactory. Now adays we have so many antidepressants to choose from. Death of Marilyn seems to be medical accident due to medical ignorance of those days.
Folks MM was mudered.
Lynn Sands, yes after listening to some other videos about Marilyn Monroe, and showing doubts about the reliability of what Ms. Murray said, and what Dr.Greenson said, gets suspicious that she did not die as a result of medical accident. If she was murdered, obviously all the people around her were involved in this pre-meditated crime.
what she needed was therapy not pills
Gloria Steinem is amazing.
@Be Real Agreed!!
YOU'RE DELUSIONAL!
This woman thinks Beyoncé is a great role model but is embarrassed by MM. It is a known fact that Ms Steinem is paid and funded to push certain agendas. There are other feminists who have way more interesting things to inspire than her cliched ideas.
@@mayurakutappa1626 MM did a lot of things that were forward thinking. Her production company for starters. She embraced what she did when it was discovered that she did a calendar.
Benajmin Padilla that is why I wrote that Ms Steinem is full of it for being embarrassed by MM. Who cares that she used her sexuality or was overly vulnerable etc. She entertained millions and people love after all these years. So for a feminist Ms Stienem is certainly hypocritical to be so harsh on MM.
I agree with Gloria's analysis - simple and to the point. Marilyn was incredibly beautiful and charming -- perhaps the most captivating woman of our day -- and yet she begged the director after she returned to filming not to turn her "into a joke". She was intelligent, sensitive, and thoughtful and didn't want to suffocate in the straight-jacket as a sex goddess -- the woman men wanted to wrap their hands around; the woman in whose company women felt envy....
She asked the journalist she gave an interview to not to turn her into a joke.
She always said men go to bed with Marilyn Monroe and wake up with Norma Jean it was an identity that was exaggerated for her career but she was so much more than an exaggerated characture and she was so much more emotionally intelligent
@@goddessravenlovelife7452 Sorry but Rita Hayworth said 'Every man I knew went to bed with Gilda and woke up with me'. Marilyn never said that.
I’ve read a few biographies where this has been mentioned so I assume her and Rita were on the same wavelength in terms of the pressure felt being a sex symbol
Gloria,you are to much an Marilyn admirer.Tony
You should have waited until the end of the movie when she tells her boyfriends father that she wants to marry his son for HIS money not the sons. He replys hey they said you stupid, she says back I can be smart when it's important but men do like that. 😁
This analysis of Marilyn Monroe is an utter load of rubbish. Actually Marilyn played a gold digger in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," there was nothing vulnerable about her in that film...crafty maybe? Marilyn felt the same way which is why she walked out of her contract at 20th century fox, moved to NY to study method acting at the actors studio, started her own production company, one of the first women to do so, and demanded and received both script and directors approval, the only contract player to have that type of power. Marilyn was a shrewd businesswoman and really paved the way for other female and male actors to become independent from the big studios which controlled them, so "embarassing" definitely doesn't come to my mind when thinking of or discussing or seeing Marilyn Monroe. Funny perhaps, witty perhaps, vulnerable and sensitive yes, cunning and charming perhaps, intelligent and willful yes, "embarrassing?" No.
Thank you for speaking up the truth. I hated when she used the word "embarrassing" for MM. Nobody stays an international icon for both men and women almost 60 years after their death if they were "embarrassing" in the slightest possible way. Goes to show this woman's lack of empathy as well as perspective on the life and works of Marilyn. Ironically she is doing what those stupid studio heads did in those times to Marilyn... type casting...
I dislike how people like this woman with a lack of perspective just get up and start psychoanalyzing those who were too smart, complex and brilliant to be completely understood. When I think of MM, I think of a brave and witty person who was way ahead of her times that's why she suffered coz she was also sensitive and self aware not because she was embarrassing or dumb.
Well stated.
Menelik Charles still does not take away from the fact that the male executives exploited her through the casting couch and limited her roles as she wanted to expand her range. At that time the studio system was breaking down and stars were becoming more independent. Believe me the casting couch and abuse of women is still happening today as told to me by a movie star when advising me on my daughters career and it’s not the only person I’ve spoken to. She was typecast and she did the best with the material she got if she was able to grow and take on more challenging roles it could of been so much more.
@@goddessravenlovelife7452 yes, and the only reason she became a star is bc she was exploited & used what she believed were her best assets beauty & sexuality which ultimately led to her death. The entire point in Ms. Steinman's interview .
@@anidiquaojala1804 Not to mention the JFK and his brother used her and I think were actually behind her murder.
yes, and the only reason she became a star is bc she was exploited & used what she believed were her best assets beauty & sexuality which ultimately led to her death. The entire point in Ms. Steinman's interview .
MM hated herself and that what this lady is asking women to avoid. It’s not that she doesn’t respect her it’s that she thinks she is a poor example of how women should be represented.
Tamika Brewster MM didn't hate herself and who gave Gloria the keys to reality for women. Hahahaha crap! She doesn't think this is how women should be represented? So what who cares. Women should be represented any way they feel like being represented. Arrogance gone to seed.
Ronnie Bishop you’re a guy. Right now what you say don’t count.
Ronnie Bishop so Tamika says what you have to say doesn’t count right now because you’re a guy..isn’t that just what Gloria said in so many words that society mainly men do to women, make them feel like they don’t have a say in their lives based on their gender, and here this Tamika person is doing the exact same thing, but I guess it’s ok for her to do it since she’s a women doing it to a man...wtf kinda sense does that make?! Wow, you ask for equality and a positive reputation of women and with just a few stupid choice words, you did the exact thing to a man that you say you don’t want for a man to do to you. You also single handily put yourself back into the segregated box, that you say as a women you don’t want to be in. Bravo.
Apparently Steinem didn't understand Marilyn was an actress playing a role?
Idk I think MM would have been rejected from the movement.
she would have been appreciated for more than just her bod...something she desperately wanted....if you learn more about Monroe's history, you'll see that
Yes, jealousy would have won. In general then & to this day most libbers are rather masculine, not so our, Marilyn!
@@patriciax3677 From what I’ve read, MM was widely credited for being a wonderful actress. She suffered from mental issues from her, Mother probably. When MM was in Korea, entertaining the troops, MM ate it up. She made, Joe wait & claims she had the best time of her life. As an adult, once established, she ran her show. No victimization where it isn’t. Not everyone is like Ms. SteinMAN!
I just meant her beauty made her loved and hated. Yes, jealousy plays a factor. For instance the time a journalist said she wouldn't be as beautiful if she dressed in a potatoe sack. I love her response though. She turned a potatoe sack into a dress for a photo shoot and she looked gorgeous. Lol
My dad teached me the same , but he still now treats women like shit , even us , this is so toxic, somebody has advise?
Oh boy what next!!!
thank you Gloria, for enlightening us
Crock
I think everyone should use what they have been given. Brains, good looks, personality, talent, whatever. Just because you're not the brain can you say to the rest of the body you're not needed because you're not the brain. Or can the good looks tell the brain you're not needed because you're not good looks. Etc but all are the same body. Yet Gloria seems to think certain parts are not needed or wanted or can be beneficial. Hogwash!!!
you don't get it ronnie
patricia x Well not much anymore. lol. You should have seen me in my 30s.
Such a pathetic, negative analysis of MM and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Goes to show lack of sensitivity and understanding on the part of this woman. MM was one of the first women to have started her own production company because she was getting tired of being type cast. She only worked for a decade n the background and zero support that she had in real life didn't prepare her for this industry... Still she not only survived but thrived. If this woman feels embarrassed by MM for the brilliant comedy that she acted in, she needs a perspective n has to get off her high horse. If MM was embarrassing, women like me who is proudly independent wouldn't have loved her 60 years after her death. MM didn't become an international icon for portraying and being a dumb blonde... nobody becomes larger than life that way and yet here is Marilyn in all her glory and relevant as ever... coz in her young life of 36, in the times of a male dominated society, she bravely achieved what this woman would never even have dreamed of achieving by having such a one track mind. Ask her about Princess Diana. I'm sure she must be embarrassed by her too.
Pity the goddess? Marilyn's power is beyond this world. This is Gloria trying to make her fit her agenda.
Did Gloria Steinem walk out of ' Psycho ' and ' A Clockwork Orange ' ?
Two movies that totally degrade women .
It's amazing how she absolutely misses the ENTIRE POINT of the movie and the character Marilyn played.
Men want to feel attractive. Men want to feel love and approval. Men want to feel sexy. Why is a woman a victim of feelings we all share?
No, most men don't give a damn if they are attractive. Otherwise they would start to take care of themselves.
@@moni2415 same can be said for alot of women
Gloria Steinem did herself a disservice by walking out of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Marilyn was a great actress with excellent comedic timing. People still love and celebrate Marilyn 50 years after her death no one will remember Gloria Steinem.
Absolute nonsense!
ms. steinheim you can't compare with marilin monroe ever to have comment on her live and you forgot that it was much easier to pay for your rent in the 60's than it is in 2019. thanks.
Steinheim in the 50's women were sexually objects. Sorry that is reality.
What a bunch of self-centred crap!
Basic NPC rhetoric. Boring.
Girl you were just offended by her beauty and charm.
Well said
I am a woman and I am embarrassed by this Gloria Steinem. This is the woman who put into the mind of house wives back in the 60's that their job taking care of their family was not worthy.
And heaven help those women who find themselves and their beliefs on the wrong side of the political isle. What a bunch of humanist liberal baloney.
About the most unappealing woman I can think of.
I doubt she cares
She still has more money than you
She talks about MM in very negative vile fashion, almost to a personal degree .
Fix your jealousy issues woman.
Hurrah!
This is American Masters, this one? 🤮
Steinem is painful to watch. Misses Marilyn Monroe completely but then she misses herself. One of the most politically dishonest people in the US and has survived for a long long time.
