Drag queens are cool. Conservative women are gross. And that is what passes for journalism in 2025.

    Well, you could either change your ways or get used to being tired, because when you’re hateful scum, people treat you like you are.

    In mainstream media, women like me are portrayed through a singular lens: Our conservative beliefs. As such, we are easy to hate, mock and scorn.

    Um, that’s how people should be judged, dumbass.

    JFC, this entire thing reads like something out of The Onion: “boo hoo, I contain multitudes, but I adhere to hateful bullshit, why don’t people tolerate meeeeee? What happened to acceptance and inclusivity?”

      She’s so close to understanding that if her actions result in her unhappiness, maybe she should change her own behavior. But it’s a conservative way of thinking to stop short and blame everyone but yourself, and then project and say that’s the problem with the rest of the world, no personal accountability.

      Yes… it’s almost like people are hating, mocking and scorning your conservative beliefs and not the gender you were born into.

      If this is in stark contrast to what you grew up with, the problem might be your environment, not the people calling out the things you can change about yourself.

    How about you stop trying to regulate who I can sleep with and marry? How about you stop trying to interject your fake sky daddy into my medical care by denying me the right to an abortion, or gender affirming healthcare if I happen to be trans? Conservative women spout nothing but hate and intolerance; they are reaping what they sow.

      This is pretty much the issue right here, she just can’t see it. The core of conservatism is virile hatred, autocratic thinking, and otherism. They think that people are being mean because they go to church and are mothers. Or at least that’s what she said.

      And those things mean nothing when it comes to conservatism. Trump made sure of that. Nowadays conservatism is fascism. And hating fascists isn’t wrong. But these people erase that part of their ideology so they can pretend to just be mothers and churchgoers who just can’t catch a break!

    "As a conservative woman living in Texas, I often feel like I’m living a dual reality. I’m a mom and a writer, but that’s not all. I go to church, laugh with friends and wave at my neighbors while we are walking our dogs.

    Not the Mexicans though, because they shouldn’t be allowed to be here. Or the gays down the street trying to adopt a child, because that’s an abomination. Also, poor children shouldn’t be allowed to eat food, climate change is a hoax, and if you disagree with anything I say I’m going to call you woke and unamerican. Why aren’t people nice to me?"

    Oh no, they’re being judged by the content of their character instead of the color of their skin their genitals.

    This asshole is hiding behind her womanhood, using it as cover for her awful fascist worldview. Sorry, you being a conservative woman isnt the problem. You being a fascist is, and it justifies all of the scorn, ridicule, and social isolation.

    This article is just another retread of the tired right wing cannard that claims intellectualism and critical thinkers must necessarily accept bigoted and authoritarian ideologies. The fear of this criticism is what fuels the weak, captulating nature of current Democratic leadership.

    No, being open minded doesn’t require one to treat all ideas equally.

      Doesn’t it go both ways? I’m neither, but “2 sides” is a junk narrative causing division.

      If anything, it’s top vs bottom, aka wealthy elite vs us poors

    Who knew that supporting fascism and circling wagons around a pedophile would have negative consequences in a society that generally frowns upon fascism and pedophilia.

    Cry me a river, dirtbags. You don’t get to support restricting the freedoms of people you don’t like and get a free pass.
