The Left's War on Women


With all this talk going on about the supposed “War on Women,” I wanted to take a moment to call attention to the true attackers of womanhood: the left.

The left, you see, hates conservative women, particularly those who choose traditionally “womanly” pursuits.  Stay-at-home mothers, for example, are ridiculed by the left. To be a “strong  woman,” a woman must get a degree and a career. Homemaking can only be a sign of a weak, repressed woman; a girl, really, forced to “make me a sammich” at the hand of her repressive, abusive husband.

Perhaps this is merely anecdotal evidence, but I love conservative women so much that I found one for myself and married her. And let me tell you, my wife is anything but weak.

But you know what she wants more than anything? To be a mother. In fact, she even wants to homeschool! Yet another favorite target of liberal attacks.

The funny thing is, when a woman actually does go out and get a career, liberals will still attack them with pathetic ad homonym name-calling. On Twitter, I watch as Dana Loesch (@DLoesch), among others, is constantly pelted with disgusting names which I will refrain from repeating (but rest assured that a good many of them are gender-specific).  Dana is a conservative woman with a job - and one she is excellent at. However, the left seems to think that a woman can only be of any use when she has also converted her thinking to liberalism.

Yet, for all the left’s talk of promoting women, what do their actions show? The liberals in Hollywood use their films to promote the objectification of women. So to do the “enlightened” Washington elite by creating policies that encourage sexual promiscuity (particularly among young people) that can only serve to nurture broken, shallow relationships.

Women are made to believe that if they’re not attractive enough, if they don’t show enough skin, or if their personality doesn’t suggest that they’re a potential sex partner, that they’re not good enough. It’s disgusting and damaging to our society how Hollywood keeps pushing body image and sex in the faces of our girls and young women.

This is progressive? This is good for women? How can the Democrats keep claiming to be the party of women when they serve only to destroy things like faith, family, and friendship: all things that, at the core of our beings, we all long for. It is these things, not sex, not some airbrushed, unattainable body that women should be pointed towards as a goal in life.

But the left keeps pandering and promoting the basest of human desires in a bid not to promote women but to promote themselves.

It will remain the Conservative who truly stands for the rights of the female.  The conservative believes that all were created equal and a woman has all the say on the subject of her own destiny.
