Don't really know what to say about this except maybe, how unsurprising? [View all]

Marlo Thomas recalling when she and Gloria Steinem met...

"Thomas said she and Steinem hatched an idea for a TV movie based on Steinem’s 1963 exposé, “A Bunny’s Tale,” in which Steinem went undercover as a Playboy Bunny.

But when they pitched the project, a male Hollywood producer didn’t quite get the feminist angle.

“We go into this guy’s office, in our glorious 20s,” Thomas recalled. “And we’re sitting opposite the desk . . . and he looks at us and says, ‘Oh my God, I don’t know which one of you I want to (bleep) first!’ ”

She added, “We were just flabbergasted. Where do you go from there? It ruined everything.” "
