RIP Gloria.
May your empowering movement and stance against gender-based segregation in the workplace be a historical impact for the ages!
TIL, the late pioneer of feminism and political journalist Gloria Steinem was Christian Bale's stepmother up until his father's death.

Why would his father’s death cause her to stop being his step-mother?

Marriage is until death do you part. So she was no longer a step mom at that point. She could still treat him like a son, but she's not legally his step mom.

Step mom isnt a legal term anywhere that i know of

Step-parents are definitely a legal concept in very many jurisdictions with regards to children - they have similar rights and responsibilities to natural parents and can often act as a parent would when interacting with services (schools, hospitals etc.), government agencies, and in general day-to-day life.

that’s not how that works at all. source: my wife died, i fought in court for her rights, against her ex husband, and i won them. i remained a stepdad. until some years later when i adopted one of my sons.
bio dad was such a bigot he hated when i could call him my ex husband. did it anyway.

There aren't enough guys. We have billions of people. Too many of the ones we have heard of are related.

Edit: Charges dropped. No evidence. Everyone happy again..
