The Palin Effect: A New Feminist Movement on the Right

With Sarah Palin’s rise to power over the past two years, there has been a rise in female Republican candidates seeking office, along with more females becoming active in political affairs. Could it be that we have a new feminist movement on the right?

According to a recent editorial by Dana Loesch in The Washington Examiner, the feminists are infuriated over Sarah Palin being considered a feminist. Ah, the notion of someone from the right being considered a feminist…wow, who would have thought that this would make the feminists angered. As Loesch discusses in her piece, feminism is no longer escaping patriarchy, rather it has become a movement that ties women to a political party, whose policies negatively impact women. This is the truth.

Loesch goes on to highlight many issues, where the liberal feminists have shown their hypocritical stripes, but it was her last comment that struck a chord:

Conservative women are active because the liberal idea of feminism has failed. An entire generation of berated men have been hog-tied by the chick card, and conservative women are tired of the liberal stereotype that they’re all simpletons who only raise their voices to sing in church.

Conservative women are rebelling against this false advocacy used as a political ploy to tether women to The Man.

Say hello to conservative feminism.

Conservative feminism actually stands up for working women and stay-at-home moms by advocating for common sense policies. This movement is not going away anytime soon and will continue to grow.

Adios Liberal Feminism…it’s been nice seeing how your radical views have detracted from the issues you championed over the years.
