Quote of the Day:

Far-left activists next month march on Washington again under the banner “the Women’s March.” The media will present them as simply “women”—as if women with other views don’t exist.

–IWF's Carrie Lukas in "Check Your Progressive Privilege" in today's Wall Street Journal

 

Conservative women have been especially under attack from the media and liberal political elites (but I repeat myself) in the wake of the 2016 presidential election.

In a must-read piece in this morning's Wall Street Journal, Carrie Lukas explores this cultural phenomenon. Carrie begins:   

Progressives are constantly checking their “white privilege,” but what about ideological privilege? Particularly for women, the prevailing assumption is that you aren’t normal unless you’re a liberal Democrat. Conservative women aren’t only left out, but increasingly stigmatized.

Women’s magazines and news outlets depict women who vote Republican as deviants. Vogue headlined a postelection commentary “Why Do White Women Keep Voting for the GOP and Against Their Own Interests?”

The Guardian asked: “Half of White Women Continue to Vote Republican. What’s Wrong with Them?” The latter article asserted that “white women vote for Republicans for the same reason that white men do: because they are racist.”

Barbra Streisand claimed “a lot of women vote the way their husbands vote; they don’t believe enough in their own thoughts.” Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama and Madeleine Albright have all expressed similar sentiments in public.

Carrie labels this what it is: a form of bigotry.

It is essential that we recognize the bias in messages about conservative women.

Only then can we become a truly inclusive society.
