The Women’s March and the 2020 Democratic presidential field are trying to define feminism as for liberals only. Don’t let them. This past weekend, hundreds of thousands of women marched in the cold in Washington, D.C., and across the country. Their purported aim was to champion equal rights for women, but once again, the movement failed to unite. They have managed to outwardly alienate not only Jewish women — some of the Women’s March leaders were revealed to have anti-Semitic ties — but also conservative ones. They argue that women’s causes — such as abortion, contraception, paid family leave and economic equality — demand liberal solutions. Women’s movements should empower and celebrate all women, meaning conservative feminists also deserve a voice in the conversation. For many progressive women, the notion of a “conservative feminist” is laughable. I know this from experience, as I have literally been laughed at for saying I identify as one. It’s inconceivable to progressives that people who believe in gender equality could possibly exist in the old White man’s Republican Party. Conservative women are usually confused by the notion, often believing feminism is reserved for man-hating Democrats who judge them for their religious convictions, traditional family values or limited government views. |
