I don’t disagree about Ms. Steffans’ history, I just don’t think it’s appropriate to bring up. It’s uncomfortably close to trying to discredit her because she’s a “bigmouthed slut.” We don’t know the reasons that motivated her sexual history, so it’s presumptuous to assume that’s the cause of her bigotry. Besides, empowerment is subjective: what may empower white women in Illinois may not empower white women in Germany, etc.

Ugh, it’s disappointing that “Muslim woman” would be used as a synonym for “submissive, husband-serving, second-class citizen.”

Well, it might show why she has a skewed view of female empowerment.Her sexual history is the sole reason for her fame, she is usually called Karrine “Superhead” Steffans and she gave herself that nickname.

Ms. Steffans’ sexual history isn’t relevant to the article or her bigoted comments against Muslim women.

Funny how she says “best selling author” and leaves out “girl named Superhead who slept with most of Hollywood, then spilled the beans to everyone”. She doesn’t seem smart enough to know much, if that’s any consolation.
