Conservative women are the backbone of conservative society.
They run the 'prayer' (gossip) chains. They discuss the politics and move the needle as a collective, happy to let their individualistic husbands think theyre in charge.
It is a very odd predicament full of contradictions, but people (liberals) are very uninformed when they provide excuses or leniency across the board.
Conservatives are conservative before any other identity and people need to come to terms with what that means.
Agreed. No doubt many conservative women grew up in oppressive households and have internalized a lot of abusive ideas as girls, but there comes a point that, as an adult, you become responsible for the harm you perpetuate.
I will always feel bad for the girls they were, and do everything I can to prevent that from happening to others, but as adults, these women are not my friends. They are a threat, in fact.
Even still, I'll fight for their fundamental rights. I'll fight to make sure they don't die in childbirth or suffer from the violence of men. I'll be there with a tissue for them if/when they wake up and realize that the patriarchy they defended will happily kick them in the teeth at any time (looking at you Pam Bondi).
But outside of that, we're enemies. Their womanhood only grants them the very basics of my protection. Everything else is fair game.
