I wondered whether readers might be interested in a thoroughly researched, very detailed paper about Steinem's long term involvement in promoting the bizarre conspiracies about "satanic ritual abuse" and dissociative identity disorder that have been such a significant causal factor in the Qanon and Pizzagate conspiracy theories? This is an excellent piece that should be of interest to rationalist / skeptical / cult aware feminists.
Professor Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi examines Gloria Steinem and a lesser examined aspect of life for her. As a member public intelligentsia for decades, Steinem has several parts of life less examined than others. Beit-Hallahmi takes a closer look at the aspect of Steinem’s life around feminism, the New Age, psychiatry, and Satanism.

Just including this for balance as many feminists seem blithely unaware of Steinem's involvement with people like the odious, dangerous quack Bennett Braun, her bizarre new age beliefs that rival Gwyneth's for sheer insanity and the fact that she has never apologised or made ammends for all the many lives destroyed as a result.
People's lives are being ruined today and democracies are undermined because of these beliefs and I wish that Steinem would step up to the plate and admit that she was wrong.
It is of great interest and concern to me that extremists within UK anti-abortion groups are promoting abortions as “satanic ritual abuse”. I have posted about this issue previously.
There is an excellent article with more information that is a must read for anyone concerned about women’s reproductive rights

Readers may be interested to know that one of the main promoters of the conspiracy theory that abortions are really satanic rituals in disguise, the odious Wilfred Wong, is currently in police custody in relation to the recent alleged abduction of an 8 year old child at knifepoint, alongside 5 other anti-satanic “activists”.
I understand that Wong is charged with kidnapping and possession of a bladed article. I would remind readers that, as this is a live criminal investigation, it would be legally problematic to speculate about Wong’s activities and those of his co-accused. I mention the alleged kidnapping for completeness.

Anyway, I just wanted readers to be aware that there exists a bizarre situation in which a prominent feminist, Gloria Steinem, is promoting anti-woman batshit conspiracies about menstruation, multiple selves and SRA that play into the hands of the far-right and anti-abortionists of the most vile extremes.
We live in interesting times.
