The Dems like to say, "When women vote, Democrats win." I read somewhere that if it hadn't been for women voters, Bill Clinton would never have been elected. We can say, "Well, women are just stupid, inferior Dims," and write them off, or we can try to help them see the light, as I and many other female former Dems have seen the light.
I've seen threads on FR that were so nasty, so hateful toward women, that I could only think, "If some liberal woman comes to this site and reads this, it will only reinforce every negative stereotype that she holds about conservative men." I'm no feminist, but I think there must be a lot of divorced, bitter men on FR, and they absolutely despise women. They sound exactly like Feminazis in reverse, as they blame women for everything and paint themselves as noble victims. There are certain topics, certain threads that I don't even click on anymore because I know they will bring out the FR woman-bashers. It's the one downside to this site.
If we want more women to come around and start voting like conservatives, I don't think those attitudes will help to bring them into the tent. Just MHO.
Nea - you're right about some of the men on FR, and the anti-women impression that sometimes is expressed here. A lot of sound and fury signifying personal "issues".
I understand the anger towards the current version of "feminism" (and share that anger), but that anger is misdirected if aimed at other conservatives, even if they are women. And, we don't do well to alienate potential conservatives by irrational ad hominem attacks.
