Is it any wonder why theres such a disconnect between Americans and the media giants that claim to represent them? For the second time in less than a month, a magazine has declared that only liberal women make a difference. Glamour announced the 2019 Women of the Year and surprise no conservatives are included.
Some of the winners include far-left environmental activist Greta Thunberg, anti-Trump soccer star Megan Rapinoe and apocalyptic Handmaids Tale author Margaret Atwood.
How about female leaders like former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley or Senator/United States Air Force combat veteran Martha McSally? Of course, they were not considered.
Instead, Thunbergs entry is titled The Revolutionary. The text in the online version read: Sixteen-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg is on a mission to save the planetbut she can't do it alone. (Not mentioned, her claim that eating meat is stealing her generations future or her hypocritical flight shaming.)
In an online-only CBS This Morning segment, Glamour editor-in-chief Samantha Barry hailed Thunberg as a star:
These young women can really make change. And I think what was interesting when we were awarding Greta is the amount of people who wanted to give us secondary interviews. Al Gore was trying to talk to us for the interview.... So I think what was interesting was all of the generations that wanted to come and talk about how Greta had made a difference.
Atwood, who predicted a dystopian future where women are stripped of all their rights and raped so that they can give birth to babies for the elite, is called The Oracle. The text for her claimed, Our 2019 Lifetime Achievement winners terrifying literary predictions are truer than ever, but so is her faith in women. Actually, none of her predictions have come true. But that, apparently, doesnt matter.
Barry touted Atwood, who is Canadian, as the queen of Canada. Speaking of her photo shoot, the editor-in-chief hyped:
Shes the best storyteller and when her interview is amazing. Shes just got this regal elegance about her. We shot her in Canada and it was like we had the queen of Canada come to set. And shes a beautiful person with so many stories to tell. And when she talks, everyone stops to listen.
Barry told CBS This Morning host Gayle King: So, we look, across the board, across different industries, which women have made major differences this year. Across the board and across industries. Just so long as theres no diversity of political thought.
In early October, People magazine announced the Women Changing the World in 2019 awards. They included, liberals like Thunberg, Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar.
Conservative women, Glamour and People magazine think you dont exist.

SAMANTHA BARRY: Its months in the planning. And, again, its of the year. So, we look, across the board, across different industries, which women have made major differences this year. But I think one of the things that stood out for us about all of these eight women this year and groups is that theyre not just making a difference this year, theyre really pushing the boundaries and standing up for each other and kind of I think a lot of the women will have generation impact for years to come. Whether thats Greta who is, you know, 16 and is changing how the world looks at climate change or Megan Rapinoe who is really fighting for the next generation of soccer players in equal pay.

Apparently Marxism is now in FASHION.
If she is so fearful and opposed to a world like the one in The Handmaids’ Tale, what is she doing to free the sisterhood oppressed under Islam (including in America where there are slaves, honor killings, and segregation)?
Pandering to sell magazines? no just mentally ill like those who buy their crap
“Atwood, who predicted a dystopian future where women are stripped of all their rights and raped so that they can give birth to babies for the elite, is called The Oracle.
She was late to the game.
Harlan Ellison wrote about a dystopian future (after World War IV) in “A Boy And His Dog” (actually a short series of stories about a boy and his dog). It was adapted as a movie in 1975 starring Don Johnson.
Don’s character is a surface dweller (picture Mad Max without all the cars). At a movie tent he meets a woman who uses sex to lure him to her underground community. Sterility has impacted their society and he is to help breed their women. He’s all excited to do his duty only they hook him up to a milking machine and have serial brides walk past him briefly getting “married” as they collect all they needed from him in life (in a test tube).
Where is the male cyclist?
“Where is the male cyclist?”
Yeah, no trannys. Glamour is TRANSPHOBIC!
A colored person, a slut, a retard, and a dyke.
Lemme guess...are we talking five o’clock shadow?
Exactly
Every large city in the country is majority democrats. Increasingly, in these cities, every facet of the society is dominated by democrats. The direct result of the Leftists taking over public education and higher education. Their are some excellent conservative universities, but the numbers are a drop in the bucket in comparison. The long term Leftist plan to take over the country by indoctrinating the youth is getting harder to ignore. And with each generation, the indoctrination gets more severe, as the indoctrinated grows up and indoctrinates the next generation.
Oh good lord. Would you take medical advice or investment advice from a 16 year old? Seriously what is wrong with people?
As a Canadian I loathe Atwood. The most over rated Canadian author of all time. Sad.
Both are so beautiful.
Love the pants worn by Rapinoe, usually you only see them hiked that high on 90-year old men. That bulge in its crotch is really classy, too.
I remember when they used to put attractive females on the covers of magazines. Long time past... Leftism is so ugly, inside and out.
Atwood didn’t have the balls to make it about the real victims of oppression... Mohammadan women, instead choosing to slander Christians instead. That the horrid tv show is starring and produced by a psycho bitch who is a Scientologist and who worships megalomaniac David Miscavige while ranting about and attacking Conservatives takes the cake.
Didn’t know anything about the actress other than she was on Mad Men. So you don’t recommend it? LOL. Yeah, Atwood is a hyper liberal - there are so many in Canada. She is like the female version of David Suzuki. Condescending, lecturing, and down right unbearable.
I don’t even call them “liberals.” That used to mean something noble and admirable (classic liberalism IS Conservatism). It was Marxists and their totalitarianism adherents that stole the label to apply to themselves as if it were something good to aspire to and sucker the public into supporting. Put a happy face on evil.
Yes but now I hate progressive as well as they use the term to call us regressive.
