If You’re a Conservative Woman, You’re Probably a ‘Handmaiden to the Patriarchy,’ According to Hillary Clinton
the Daily Signal ^ | May 21, 2025 | Virginia Allen

With one broad stroke, Democrat Hillary Clinton called all conservative women “handmaidens” in remarks at an event in New York City earlier this month.

“Well, first of all, don’t be a handmaiden to the patriarchy, which kind of eliminates every woman on the [Republican] side of the aisle, except for very few,” Clinton, 77, said when asked what advice she would give to the first female president.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., are among the “few” Republican women who don’t bow down to the patriarchy, according to Clinton.

Clinton made the comment during a discussion at New York City’s 92nd Street Y on May 1, adding that the U.S. electing a female president is “so much harder than it should be.” Video of the event wasn’t posted until two weeks later on May 15, according to The Daily Caller.

“If a woman runs who I think would be a good president, as I thought Kamala Harris would be and as I knew I would be, I will support that woman,” Clinton said, who lost her 2016 bid to become the country’s first female president.

Clinton’s comments reveal a bizarre strategy on the political Left—bash anyone who thinks differently than she does, and then act surprised and play the victim when the same people you berated don’t support you.

Speaking as conservative women who have worked hard to earn countless opportunities from male and female bosses alike who also happen to be conservative, it’s both insulting and laughable to call women who believe in traditional values and protecting the unborn “handmaidens to the patriarchy.”

On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,” we discuss our “oppression” as conservative women and take time to celebrate the women who, unlike Clinton, are acting as powerful voices for all women, regardless of political views.

Also on today’s show, ahead of Memorial Day, the Trump administration has announced an investigation into the disastrous U.S. pullout from Afghanistan in 2021 and a proposed “Golden Dome” to protect the U.S. against missile attacks.

Plus, we break down some of the latest pop culture news as singer Lorde equates ditching birth control as “right wing.” And President Donald Trump says Taylor Swift is no longer “hot.” Is he right?

....electing a female president is “so much harder than it should be.”

Wellllll, yyyeahhh. Especially when you knee-jerkingly disqualify half the potential candidates simply because they don't fit your political orientation. So, it's not really about a person's sex, is it, Hillary?

It’s a waste of a Wellesley and Yale Law School education to come up with a phrase like “handmaiden to the patriarchy”!

You need to pray for her the way Paul prayed for Alexander the Coppersmith.

Mostly we are suppose to be longsuffering. But there is a point......

If you are a liberal/democrat woman you are probably a radical, American hating leftist who wants the federal government to be your husband.

“Broad stroke” is a term that would not bother me too much if it were applied to Hillary Clinton.

In my 20s, I’d have agreed with her. Unfortunately, the Matriarchy is just as bad as the Patriarchy, it turns out.

If you’re a liberal woman, you’re a handmaiden to Bill Clinton. Or Hillary Clinton.
