Feminist Antipathy Toward Conservative Female Leaders

Despite claiming to stand for helping women rise to be equal with men, feminists don’t like conservative women who succeed because it’s actually about ideology.

The supposed goal of feminism is for women to gain equality with men. There are distinct differences between the two sexes, which historically have delineated the roles of men and women into distinct spheres, with men generally in positions of authority and leadership. The feminists claim that this is deeply unfair, oppressive, and limiting.

“A woman can do anything a man can do” has become a popular slogan, despite its obvious fallacy. Indeed, a more valid claim would be that a woman is just as human and no less valuable than a man.

The crux of the issue has more to do with gender roles. Feminists sought equal access to the spaces that had previously been reserved for men only. This included the halls of government.

Thus, over the past 50 years, the presence of women in government, as well as the number of women being elected to and holding public office, has increased significantly.

Effectively, the feminist argument that women have the same right to seek public office as men has been won and broadly accepted by the West and most of the developed world. Numerous countries, especially in Europe, have female presidents or prime ministers. In 2016, the U.S. came within a few thousand votes in a few states from joining that club.
