Conservative women are not ‘gender traitors’ – Don’t compare us to ‘sheep’ because we voted for Trump

By Lauren DeBellis Appell,

Like half the population, I was born female. As a married adult, I became a mother – a feat no man has ever accomplished. So I’ve never doubted my membership in the global sisterhood – although now it’s being questioned on political grounds.

More and more, women on the left are telling me and millions of women like me that to be “real” women we have to embrace the Democratic Party, hate President Trump, support abortion on demand, and believe that a woman must always be telling the truth when she accuses a man of sexual misconduct (unless that man is a Democrat, of course).

Failure to embrace these positions makes us traitors to our sex, we are told – female Benedict Arnolds, slavishly obeying the commands of our husbands or other men because we’re too stupid and weak to think for ourselves.

The feminists are at it again as they spout the nonsensical view that being a woman is more about ideology than biology.

And a New York Times op-ed written by Alexis Grenell and published last weekend declares that white women who support President Trump are Public Enemy No. 1. According to the author, we put our white privilege ahead of our gender, and we’re the women who are the most frightening to her.

Grenell clearly knows much less about women who voted for President Trump than she thinks she does. Count me among the many women who support other women by choosing justice over gender.

In the particular instance of the Democrats’ search and destroy mission against Kavanaugh, fair-minded women seeking justice were also looking out for three other forgotten females in this story – Kavanaugh’s wife and two daughters.

This bullying and propaganda are laughable from women claiming to fight for “women’s rights.” Many of these same women – if they are old enough – went stone cold silent when Juanita Broaddrick alleged that former President Bill Clinton raped her, providing specific allegations that included minute details and contemporaneous corroboration.

Grenell talks a lot about female privilege and pedestals but conveniently fails to mention the pedestal planted in liberal female privilege.

This is a pedestal where liberal women feel justified screaming in senators’ faces, harassing members of Congress in restaurants, chasing senators down in airports as they’re going into the bathroom, and openly admitting on Twitter to trying to destroy a man’s life.

It’s a self-appointed pedestal of entitlement and privilege advanced by feminist propaganda.

You don’t hear very much about the supposed “privileged” pro-Trump women Grenell talks about because we’re just not as exciting of a news story. There’s no bully pulpit from which we shout our dissent.

We don’t seek out Jerry Springer-style made-for-TV moments. We believe even elected officials have a right to privacy in public bathrooms.

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, gave one of the most thorough and reasoned explanations for voting to confirm Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

Grenell complained about having a “rage headache” from being subjected to Collins’ floor speech and her comments about “due process and some other nonsense.”

Women who voted for Donald Trump are not sheep. We don’t blindly follow a patriarchy nor do we blindly follow the same set of chromosomes.

Our gender is a part of who we are, obviously – but it’s our conscience, our life experience and our individual voice that guide each of us. We will not go where justice, reason and the rule of law do not take us.

Gender should never trump justice.
