The Historic Number Of GOP Women Elected To Congress Has Left Some Feminists Torn
That is a real headline.
Feminists have been working for decades to get more women into politics. And it’s working ― a historic number of women are heading to Congress in January.
But this year, there’s a complicating factor: The biggest shift is in Republican women, with a record-breaking 17 new female GOP lawmakers set to be sworn in next year. Most of these women oppose feminist policies like abortion rights, paid family leave and equal pay.
For feminists, women winning office isn’t a victory on its own. Those women need to back policies that help other women, too.
It was never about electing more women. It was only about electing Leftist women who walk in lockstep with Leftist causes.
Some women’s rights advocates worry that people will conflate gender equality with gender parity when looking at these female Republican politicians.
“Is it progress for women’s equity and women’s rights in general to elect people who are going to chip away at those rights? That’s not what I spend my days doing. I spend my days fighting for people who will fight for both of those things,” said Christina Reynolds, vice president of communications at EMILY’s List, a national organization that supports pro-choice, Democratic female candidates.
This right here is why modern feminism is awful. According to modern feminism, it’s better to elect a serial rapist who supports third-trimester abortion than it is to elect a woman who is pro-life.
Feminists hope these Republican female politicians will bear that in mind and do what they can to help other women succeed.
“It is because of feminism and the progress that the women’s movement has made that these women can run and they’re able to win,” Litman said. “But that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re advancing the cause of feminism.”
Translation: “feminists hope these women will vote like Leftists because women are a minority and Left has a monopoly on the minorities.”
It is truly amazing to see feminists gnashing their teeth that the GOP elected a record number of women, and they are pissed about it.
That’s okay. I don’t view HuffPo as journalism.
Feminism has nothing to do with equality, or females for that matter. It is 100% about power, and taking revenge for “crimes and offenses” that occurred in the past.
Just ask your average feminist why women are not clamoring for jobs in the trades? They will tell you, with full confidence they are correct, that change has to come from the top.
She also uses the word equity not equality…. Equity is same outcome, while equality is same opportunity….not the same at all.
I find it telling that half-way through the article, the newly-elected GOP women stop being referred to as “Republican women”, and instead are called “Republican female politicians”.
It’s like you can’t be a woman AND a Republican. Becoming the latter precludes the former, which is reserved solely for Leftist feminists. Or something.
If you are voting for Trump, you ain’t female.
Or something like that.
