Memoirs From a Young Conservative

Go here for the full thing…

Women have betrayed women, and as a female I must state with pride that the women’s movement got significant rights and advancements for females. The fight for suffrage and equal rights was a fabulous and novel concept, but this successful and glorious movement has been hijacked by women like Nancy Pelosi, Gloria Steinem, and Eve Ensler.  One of the most infamous examples of how women have betrayed women is the play The Vagina Monologues, by Ensler. Women in the play scream “vagina” at the top of their lungs in a call for “ending violence against women.” Women, our movement is about choice, and it is your choice to combat this type of feminism and reclaim the original purpose of the movement.

The radical wing of the feminist movement calls abortion the biggest issue facing women rather than national defense, health care or impending taxation because of liberal spending programs. It is to a young conservative’s despair, however, that women like Steinem and Ensler are welcome to college campuses across the nation to perform the Vagina Monologues in an empty promise to save women from violence. Young ladies, I invite you to really “take back the night.”

One of the greatest opportunities I ever had was to intern in the Washington, DC area this summer for a conservative women’s organization called the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute. These savvy women gave me a balanced education in women and gender studies where I read both conservative and liberal feminist texts. The difference in their feminist method, however, was that the genders are equal. Women don’t demand special privileges above men, and it’s alright to want to be a stay-at-home mom or go off to the workforce.
