America Ferrera made some applause-worthy points on social justice and feminism while chatting with Gloria Steinem during the opening of the 2016 MAKERS conference Monday. But its her anecdote about the response she gave to a reporter's tone-deaf question that will have you cheering.

The "Superstore" actress explained a "hilarious" yet confusing encounter with a journalist who asked her what she would do if Ted Cruz and Hillary Clinton got the Republican and Democratic nominations, respectively.

do you decide who to vote for?"

For the record, America is a staunch Hillary Clinton supporter (as she was in 2008).

Feminist activist Gloria Steinem on Friday suggested that young women support Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders over rival Hillary Clinton because they want to meet boys.

On HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Maher asked Steinem why Clinton, who has campaigned on the historic nature of her candidacy, was losing the young female vote.

don’t mean to over-generalize … but men tend to get more conservative because they gain power as they age, and women get more radical because they lose power as they age,” Steinem responded.
