The XX Factor: What women really think.

Gloria Steinem to Get Tramp Stamp?

This from an interview by Joni Evans on wowowow.com with Gloria Steinem, 75:

wOw: In your wonderful book, Outrageous Acts, you advocate that we should do something outrageous every day. Your quote: "Once I began to listen to my own authentic voice—or at least to realize I had one—I discovered a new answer to my earlier rhetorical question: How much more rebellious could I get? The answer was: a lot." Are you still doing outrageous acts? What did you do on your birthday?

Steinem: ... I’m thinking of having a tattoo for my birthday. I like the art nouveau-looking ones that I see on women’s backs just below their jeans—it’s rebelliously known as a tramp stamp—but if it hurts, I won’t do it. My real birthday present to myself is going back to Zambia to live with elephants for a few days.

I can't decide if I'm more surprised that Steinem is considering getting a tramp stamp or that she doesn't know that tattoos hurt.
