She is woman, here's her woo...

I happened to catch this on the morning show last week. Helen Reddy, who co-wrote and sang "I am Woman(Hear me Roar)" - the great rally cry for feminism in the 70s. She won a Grammy for the song and famously thanked God during her acceptance speech "because She makes everything possible."

35-odd (apparently very odd) years later, she's doing the morning show tour, talking about her new autobiography and the fact that she's a licensed hypnotherapist. She also support psychics, Loose change(the 9-11 'Truther' nutjobs) and a slew of liberal conspiracy theory types. (See the sections on her site with her recommended reading and links).

Now, I'm the first to admit that just being a celebrity musician or actor doesn't mean you have to be a role model or, even smart. But it is sort of sad that the woman who sang the liberation anthem of a generation of women support pseudoscience, half-truths and woo.

Oh, well, we'll always have Gloria Gaynor... and, of course, my personal favorite feminist, Ms. Piggy... :)
