If a man disagrees with Gloria Steinum about everything, he is a sexist no matter what other qualities he may have. Isn't that right?

No more than disagreeing with Rush Limbaugh makes someone a liberal. Steinem has always been controversial in the feminist movement; she took a ton of flak from feminists (male, female, and other) in the 1970s for her views on Renée Richards.

If anything, she takes even more criticism from modern feminists for some of her views—see this Slate article for one recent example. Slate obviously has a particular political POV, but it's reasonable to look there if you're interested in how she's viewed within that end of the political spectrum.

(And it's Steinem).
