Why does the right-wing hate women?

Question

One needs to look no further than the comments about Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi to see the American right wing hates & fears empowered women.

Perhaps all you ladies out there should take notice and vote them out of office, if they had their way you wouldn't be able to vote, and basically be one step above the property of your husbands.

Another interesting sidenote,

Why were the Dixie Chicks boycotted, booed, and also received death threats while a male musician, Bruce Springstien who by the way said much worse things about the Bush administration had nothing even close to what happened to the dixie chicks happen to him?

Answer 1

They're sexist!

Answer 2

Once again you Dem's down play Condeleeza Rice let alone ever learned that Dem's fought the women's right to vote...

Lets look at these great woman leaders you are so proud of:( only one or two examples though, otherwise it would take all day)
Hillary's Human Resources Development Plan for the United States... You know, schools
"What is essential is that we create a seamless web of opportunities to develop ones skills that literally extends from cradle to grave and is the same system for everyone -- young and old, poor and rich, worker and full-time student"18 pages to outline in detail what has since become the new School-to-Work curriculum, in which the government plans your life for you, just the way it was done in the old Soviet bloc nations in Eastern Europe. Feel free to research!!!!!
Pelosi-
Not only puts our troops $$ into the hands of a known thief , she then puts an anti-military, code pink awarded nut in charge of our military--- Rather incompetent , don't you think.?

Answer 3

This is an interesting question with already interesting responses.


The funny thing is that Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi are certainly not the most liberal members of their respective houses of congress, but they seem to take the largest beating by the American public...and judging from the avatars on this system, by males. They are certainly high profile, yes, but...

I recall having a political argument with my a very female relative about Hillary Clinton back in the 1990's. She just didn't like her....when asked why, she could not give me a single issue or a single viewpoint, even a single reason as to why...she just didn't like her. We explored this further and through socratic questioning we managed to pin it down to the fact that as a woman raised in a conservative household, she was threatened by someone like Hillary who was intelligent, empowered, successful, and could potentially change the rules for a woman's place in society. She was very much threatened by this.

As a liberal, I'm not thrilled with either Senator Clinton or Speaker Pelosi at this point...I'm already seeing mistake made that could very well throw the balance of power back to the other side of the aisle in 2008...It's certainly for political reasons, and not because they're women. I have no doubt, however, that there are MANY folks who are threatened by the lack of penis factor, however.


To the post right above mine...You're right, Dr. Rice is an innovator...Clinton did have an African-American Surgeon General before she tripped on herself and said something stupid. In addition, he had a Jewish woman as Secretary of State (and the first woman)...

Answer 4

Why do Democrats hate women individuals? Ann Coulter gets dying threats from liberals from talking her point of view and Sean Hannity does not....the comparable arguments which you used could be became marvelous lower back around. Rush Limbaugh makes use of the term feminazi to describe recommendations washed women individuals, no longer empowered women individuals. Why is there a double prevalent between the liberal elite? Why can a male conservative talk his recommendations and be especially lots left on my own yet a woman conservative is honest sport for any sort of private assaults, threats and libel/slander? Conservatives love solid women individuals by using fact they undertaking us in assessment to liberal men that love women those that think of they are solid by using fact they are greater easily manipulated, i.e. bill Clinton.

Answer 5

I am a straight left-wing female. I do not like Hillary or Nancy because I am not impressed with their 'bull-headed' approach. I think it's overstated as if they are trying too hard. But just because a particular party shows dislike for Hillary and/or Nancy does not mean they hate or fear empowered women. Its because they are not impressed with their political performance or views. If they do not meet the expectations of 'we the people' then other women take it personal, get emotional, and try to make it a women's right's issue. If women want to play the political game, they have to take the heat just like the rest of they guys. I am not concerned in the least about losing my equality as a woman. Im concerned about the liberal women's rights activists trying to get us to vote for women and support them because they are women. It really makes us look even more inferior, incompetent and parinoid! I vote for whoever I think will do the best job... black, white, woman, man, athiest, christian..etc. If I see a woman that is up to par over all the rest, I'll vote for her. Until then, I'm not a hater and I do not fear empowered women. Just because someone trashes your precious 'female trophies of empowerment' doesnt mean they are out to get women! That's absurd.

Answer 6

Your analysis is flawed. It has nothing to do with empowered women rather it has everything to do with their far left ideology. I love women especially Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin. The last part of your analysis that deals with the Chixy ***** and Bruce Springstein has more to do with who their audience is. The Dixie Chicks are a country group and their audience is largely patriotic conservatives and Bruce's audience is more liberal therefore there was no out cry from his audience because they agreed with him.

Answer 7

You truly are a moron. You conveniently neglect to mention the fact that the women you site are VERY liberal. You also conveniently forget about Secretary Condolezza Rice who is not only a woman, but also a black woman.

Name one Democratic administration who's had a black woman is such a high position within their administration.

Robert N: Ok, so now that we have established and acknowledge the facts at hand, why was this question asked in the first place? Neither one of us are sexist by any stretch of the imagination, but yet here I am defending something I shouldn't have to defend. The facts speak for themselves.

Answer 8

Two words: CONDOLEZZA RICE. Wait, here's two more words: ARIANA HUFFINGTON. Do I hear a third volley? LIBBY DOLE. Now for a fourth: NANCY REAGAN. You are completely wrong in your assertion that the right-wing hates and fears empowered women. What we cannot abide by is power-hungry women who look upon their elected offices as platforms that allow them to exercise supreme authority while not answering for their own actions. Hillary and Pelosi have forgotten that they are in positions of the public trust and that they are responsible for serving those who elected them. They are two living, breathing examples of how power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Answer 9

FYI: I am a woman, and I'm also right-wing. Read some of these other posts, and you'll get it. I hate Hillary Cartoon and Nazi Pelosi just as much as anyone else with a brain.

****************************************
To answer your question about the Dixie Chicks, their audience is mostly conservative, whereas Bruce's is much more mixed. Again, nothing to do with gender.

Answer 10

No they don't. The right wing has promoted more women to power than the left. We don't hate Hillary and Nancy because they're women. We hate them because of who they have chosen to be.

Who really hates women? The side that's trying to liberate them from an evil tyrant who wouldn't let them be educated and punishes them for allowing themselves to be raped or the side that wants us to leave well enough alone?

The REPUBLICANS are the ones who got women and black people the right to vote. The REPUBLICANS are the ones who ended slavery. The Democrats fought against freeing the slaves. The Democrats were the ones with the firehoses trying to keep blacks from voting.

Look how the left treats women like Ann Coulter, Condoleezza Rice, and other powerful conservative women.

Get your facts straight.

Answer 11

I think there is a lot of anxiety among the neo-con chickenhawks-they are basically cowards-and the ultimate insult to them is being dictated to by women.
